What guns are essential?Posted By Angel Gomez |
How about a high power air gun?
I think there is quite a compelling case for adding one to your list of recomendations, specially if you are a city dweller like me.
1- Much cheaper to shoot than a 22.
2- Can be used in most urban backyards without alarming neighbors too much.
3- Great for teaching kids basics of fire arms safety and maintenance. Look and feel and in many cases the power of a "real" gun.
4- You'll be suprised at the stuff you can take down with a well placed shot. Like hunting for galaxies with a 80mm refractor!!
5- Easy to care for.
I have a few toys, but I've had more fun with my 25 caliber RWS than with anything that came before it. Guns are like telescopes, it is not the caliber but how often you use it. I shoot "things" just about every week with my RWS but only once or twice a year with my AR or 7mm Mag.
Now for home defense IMHO nothing beats a nice compact .38 revolver complemented by a short barrel shotgun with pistol grips and loaded with a secret Miami recipe of an alternate buck shot and bird shot.
Now, where did that darn squirrel go?????????????
