Bartholomew roberts, when I posted:
"Im with mike38 on this. I dont believe that a rifle (other than a 12 guage) is the optimum weapon to use for defense."
I am thinking for home defense. Its alot easier to grab and to move a handgun around in your house in middle of the night than it is for a full sized rifle. Even then, the 12 guage is questionable for easy movement in doorways, or from room to room.
Just so were clear, I wasnt stating that a rifle a ISNT capable of self defense but that a pistol is a better option in a real life situation that most of us would find ourself in.
