i think the best weapon a person can have is a double barrell shotgun, it can take out 2 or 3 guys trying to bum rush u where a 9mm u will have to shoot each guy seperately. if afew people where kicking in your door at home a double barrel shotgun is your best freind,it will totally ruin their night quickly.i have a shotgun that was made in 1965 in michigan and the bitch is in perfect condition,its my wifes though cause im not suppose to own a gun with a felony charge
