Oh, absolutely agreed, Tim. I don't see myself in that predicament anytime soon, but if I were ever unfortunate to find myself there, I can think of a lot of guns I would prefer over a lever gun. Like some sort of .50 BMG or something...
I just can't help myself - every time I see anything about these new fangled "black guns", I feel I have to interject a more traditional perspective. In all seriousness, I think for a guy who doesn't own many guns, or who has to choose between the two, the lever gun is the better choice for us civilians. Now, if one can have both, all the better...
