Poll: What type of gun is most important to you?

[bushmaster1313]

Of all the different types of guns, what type is most important for you to own?

I don't hunt and concealed carry is not allowed where I live. So for me it's a hard choice between the combat pistol and the combat rifle. Combat pistol gets the nod.

 

[Nick5182]

all of my guns are important to me lol, but if i was limited to just one it would have to be a pistol.

 

[Balrog]

If I had to pick one category, it would be the Combat Rifle. It is the weapon best suited for the true purpose of the 2nd Amendment.

 

[wankerjake]

My huntin' rifle!

I don't worry about combat as I do not live in a war zone, so fun and games (clay targets) gets the nod - I'll put 10-15,000 rounds through my target gun a year

I choose my conceal carry gun because it can double as a SD as well as a HD gun.

 

[BushyGuy]

i have both a Bushmaster AR15 and a WASR 10/63 ak47, i like them for target shooting and home defense.

 

[marksman13]

I'll go combat rifle because it can pull any of those duties listed except concealed carry and the right rifle could almost do that depending on what you are wearing.

 

[FROGO207]

For me it is all about reloading and accuracy and I do most of it with a target pistol or revolver. A close second would be a target rifle. Poll should have been first AND second choice IMO but thanks for the chance to think my priorities out once again.

 

[Frozen North]

My Glock 26 would be the last thing I give up.

 

[Tomcat47]

Love em all! But if it were down to only one...My Marlin 30-30...I can hunt with...protect my home....and myself if need be, and I could never part with it anyway...sentimental

And if its bad situation...IE Survival .... I start looking for BG with 1911 first! LOL

^^^^
For all-purpose, It's hard to argue with a Marlin 336 in 30-30 as "the one" gun if "one gun" is the goal.

Nah.....
Shotgun is the one.
You can legally take any game animal in my state with a shotgun.
Deer hunt with slugs.
HD
All the clay games too.

 

[CZguy]

I've gone full cycle in my life. I'm back to a bolt action .22 as my favorite.

CZ 452 Lux.

 

[Mitch from LA]

Not my favorite, but a good hunting shotgun can serve almost any purpose you need it to. As an avid small game hunter, it is probably the most important to me.

 

[brandon_mcg]

id have to say my hunting shotgun. i enjoy shooting my pistols and rifles, but there is nothing like shooting doves, clays, deer, and small game with a shotgun.

 

[Bonesinium]

I don't hunt. I'm not using any of my personal firearms in combat. I cannot conceal carry where I live, only in the nearest state to me. I don't shoot skeet or trap. Though I have firearms that could fall under 5 of the categories listed, they are all (mainly) for target shooting. Since I have more rifles than handguns, I chose target rifle. Ironically none of my firearms were/are designed specifically for target shooting.

 

[vs]

The one that will save your family life or yours. I voted combat pistol.

 

[AOK]

My Glock 23 over my shotguns and AR. Odds are if I have to defend me and/or my loved ones it will be on me or right next to me.

 

[therewolf]

I'm at a loss to understand why everybody's asking us to "Show us your guns"
"What kind of guns do you CCW" etc. Seems a lot of these threads are suspiciously personal, IMO.

Not understanding what interest this info could possibly be to YOU

 

[KodiakBeer]

I voted combat pistol mostly because if I added up all the ammo I burn in a year (outside of 22's...), those would constitute the vast majority of the shooting.

A combat pistol can be a reasonable hunting arm as well as a concealed carry piece and home defense as well. I mean, if you had to, you could do it all with a .357 or .45.

I'm glad I don't have to do it all with one gun...

 

[happygeek]

Umm, isn't there a bit of overlap with your categories, for example you have 'combat pistol', 'target pistol', and 'conceal carry pistol' categories. I have a Beretta 92FS and a Sig 1911, both of which I CC and target shoot with and both of which I'd assume would be considered combat pistols.

People hunt and target shoot with EBRs like the AR-10 too.

 

[vs]

I think it’s a interesting question especially with the way the economy is today. We might not think about it but home security is a very issue especially if you live near a major city or on a farm where the nearest sheriff is miles away, if someone is in your house you have to be able to move free of restrictions and a narrow hallway or going down the basement stairs you wouldn’t want someone to grab the barrel. I guess it is good to take inventory once and awhile of our priorities.

 

[22-rimfire]

A sporter target rifle for me, I guess. You can use it for hunting, target shooting, plinking, and I suppose defensive purposes.... and of course, it's a 22 rifle.

 

[smartshooter.45]

I voted concealed carry pistol but i also agree with this statement:

If I had to pick one category, it would be the Combat Rifle. It is the weapon best suited for the true purpose of the 2nd Amendment.
