    45-70 for home defense

    i think it would be instesting to see if you could make a handload with a 400 or 500 grain bullet and get it down to about 800-900 fps enough so it does damage up close but wont go through my house the neighbors house ect.

    Range battle scars

    i think a lot of the ones on the sides are from pepole hitting the part of the target carrier that is angle iorn to defelct rounds so it dosent get damaged at least at the range i used to go to

    Which gun, for a one-gun user, in a worse-case scenario?

    probably a .22 rifle of somekind and an additional handgun in .357 you can kill a black bear with .357 and its the biggest they get around here. a .22 will kill deer birds squirrels rabbits pretty much anything if you do your part its light and you can carry a lot more ammunition 100 rounds...

    Please Don't Be Judgmental

    bring them to a gun store it should be legal for them to posess them as long as you get them there. if there are any questions you could allways explain it was granpas old guns you found them in a trunk were afraid of not being licensed and wanted to get rid of them .

    Are modern guns relatively immortal

    my oldest gun if from the 1840's it dosent looks pretty and the lock needs a main spring but i bet it would still be fireable if it got a new spring. i had a mosin m39 for a while that was from the 1890's and worked fine i bet that thing will still be shooting in 100 years for sure
