I've been building my handgun collection over the past couple of years and figure it's time to round out my holdings.
My Dad has quite the .22 rifle collection that I grew up on, and now that I think about it I need to retrieve the Marlin and 10/22 that are technically "mine."
I'm not a paranoid, live-in-a-bomb-shelter type of guy, but I want the first long gun I purchase to be practical in case I need to ever protect the homefront and provide food for the family. With that being said, I'm completely ignorant about which caliber, model, etc. to explore. 30-30 rifle? 12 gauge Shotgun? AR-15?
Help me find my way. Thanks!
Edit to Add: As I'm completely ignorant, I'd appreciate it if you'd help me out by listing specific manufacturer's/models that I can research along with your general vote of "shotgun" or "AR." Thanks!
