A shotgun loaded with slugs can be used effectively out to 100 yds or so with practice.

If you want more reach than that, I'd suggest a bolt action rifle in .308 caliber. The variety available means you could pay anywhere from ~$150 for a surplus rifle to literally 10's of 1000's for a custom piece.

A shot gun shoots shells with pellets that scatter, right? Where as a rifle shoots a bullet, correct?

Whatever I get, I don't want any gun registration bullshit. Are the rules at gun shows different than in a store, and what about buying used, as you suggested? What are the rules?

I'm sure I could go in the city and pick anything on the street, but GOD knows if it may have been used in a crime. I see that as a drawback, in that respect.

Sorry darlin', I didn't notice this post.

Pistols & ARs will be registered, unless you get an HBAR AR-15. Stick with the pump or bolt actions.  I stand by my 20 gauge/12 gauge shorter/taller recommendation.  Get 2 barrels for it, one with smooth bore & interchangeable chokes, the other fully rifled with a cantilever scope mount.  Then join a gun club and shoot, shoot, shoot.

Original Message I suspect that I'm not the only GLPer who glazes over in the gun threads. I am 100% a constitutionlaist and pro personal arms, but I'm a lady, don't eat meat, never hunted, and just never got involved with guns. I'm sure there are other GLPers who would like to pick up some protection (CASH!) but don't have a freaking clue about what to buy, how much it should cost, etc.

So, to those who know, help us out. Keep the language geared for the unitiated.

If I can buy one gun, what should be, and how much ammo with that purchase?
