I've been considering getting one for about a year, not for recreation but for personal protection. I grew up in Detroit so I don't underestimate the protection a gun can provide you with in certain situations, but I haven't yet made a decision. Also, my neighborhood right now is pretty dangerous, and there are a lot of break ins and robberies so I want to be adequately prepared if something happens, and im realistic enough to realize that if someone commits armed robbery at my house while im there, I had best be armed as well if I want to keep my shit. | ||

While I may be old fashioned, I think one of the best guns for carrying or keeping in a nightstand for protection is a .357 revolver. Accurate, super reliable and easy to use, and you can practice with cheaper .38 ammo. If you need more than 6 shots to defend yourself, you're probably better off using your cell to call the police and hiding. | ||

Favorites probably being: Ruger 10/22 Beretta Silver Pigeon 20 gauge over/under shotgun Ruger .357 Revolver In the future I want to pick up a Sig P226 9mm handgun and possibly some sort of 410 gauge shotgun. The only things I really want to shoot these days are 22's, 9mm (though I don't have one yet) and shotguns. Reason being that the ammo for these are quite cheap =), most other calibers cost an arm and a leg. I actually just got back from my cabin in Northern Michigan today with a friend who just bought a M2 Benelli 12 gauge autoloader. Can upload some vids of us shooting tomorrow if theres any interest in it x) Edit: To people who are saying hunting is boring. I'd highly recommend trying bird hunting (grouse/pheasant/woodcock) with a guide who has some nice bird dogs. Its a lot of fun and a ton of moving around instead of sitting for hours. | ||

It's in rough shape, but It is functional, and also has a bayonet attached to the end :O I'm pretty sure it has seen combat. Once I get it, I'm picking up some .30-06 rounds and going shooting | ||

If you need more than 6 shots to defend yourself, you're probably better off using your cell to call the police and hiding. I think revolvers make great nightstand guns. They are pretty inherently grab n go. The problem is the 6 / 7 round limit and the fact they are difficult to reload under stress. It's easy to say that if you need more then 6 rounds you shouldn't have a gun, but multiple assailant attacks are going to require that many and more if they press it. | ||

Glock 21SF .45, a Kel-Tech SU-16ca .223 (poor man's AR =D), and the ever popular mossberg 500 pump shot. Glock goes on the nightstand, I've always preferred autos vs revolvers, maybe I'm just progressive like that  Exercise gun control gents, use both hands =) | ||
