What would you suggest for someone who will never visit a range (or rarely), or just can't shoot worth a damn... serious question btw. Wives, kids, elderly folks... need every "edge" to stop a threat... and many have and do....
A shotgun would be my answer.
When I shot my 870 loaded with 00 for the first time, I did not miss (or any shots since)..Hadn't shot a shotgun in 50 years, and never a pump fwiw
Everyone should do what is right for them however.. I'm not a range guy.... but am pretty confident I can defend myself with anything I have in my hands.... Seriously.
Haven't shot some of my spoons in years.... Nor have I laced up my running shoes.
Did you get to the range McLuv.... and have you started thinking about yer next spoon .... (yet)?
I remember Nostatic's journey over to the darkside....
You're gonna need a hat
