I grew up with guns. My father had Rugar, Winchester, some military issue rifles. We had several pistols but I had to give them to my aunt because they are illegal to have in my home state. My grandmother had a rifle that could be used by a woman or a man and had a clean shot and not that much kick back but the rifle was so old it has rusted away and is useless. It had been lost in the basement and ruined.
What would be a good brand of rifle to get that I can purchase that I can use and my girlfriend can use for home security? I was looking into Winchester or Rugar.
I am so dumb. I think the weapon that Nana had must have been a shot gun. I remember Dad showing me how to use it as a kid. That must be it. It was shorter barrel than the weapons he used for hunting that were the rifles.

As far as i can tell there are many answers to this question but there are a few that completely confuse me. The first is to keep our government in check, I don’t understand how even a large population armed to the teeth is supposed to fight a government that has enough nukes to blow up the entire planet. Second is self protection, we have all heard about the horrible crimes committed every day yet the stories of people successfully protecting themselves with firearms are few and far between. Another reason i have heard deals with protecting our country from foreign invasion, I don’t think the redcoats are coming back any time soon. Now don’t get all pissy with me if you are pro-gun because I don’t want to take them away from you I just don’t see the reason for so many guns in this country. I can see if you are a businessman transporting large amounts of money or if you are a hunter and want to own a hunting rifle or shot gun or military and police and you want a personal firearm to take to the range, but why should anyone that wants an assault rifle or powerful concealable handgun be able to get one especially if there is no need for them to own it other than just to have a collection.
I was being sarcastic with the nuke thing I guess i meant the most powerful military in the world which could easily control imports and exports, air space, etc.. As far as protection from foriegn invasion I don’t think any country would be foolish enough to try an actual all out invasion. I think a war of that magnitute would probobly involve the U.S. against another nuclear nation and an armed population wouldn’t matter in that case my point about that is that the days of Napoleon and the Redcoats are over I think the framers of the constitution realized the need for an armed militia but if they new that we would someday be this powerful they would have rethought the need for a completely armed population for protection.
I don’t agree with the notion that if a thief was going to break into a house he wouldn’t rob a gun owners house stolen guns are very easily sold for quick cash making a gun owners house even more tempting.
I like the argument about liveing in a rural area and owning a gun for protection that’s a very good reasonable point. Now for the gun owner that has a gun for protection when the police are minutes away (large population city setting) I don’t quite agree with, because if you are a responsible gun owner that has a gun locked away in a safe place how would you get to that gun at a moments notice especialy if your house is broken into unexpectedly.
People that successfully protect themselves with a gun wouldn’t be on the news??? Have you seen the news lately??? I think the news would eat a story like that up.

I know for the most part the law is 18 for a rifle/shot gun and 21 for a hand pistol. Now what I need clarification is how old do you have to be to own an assault rifle such as a M1 or a M16?
