| #8 Hell yeah. Judge seems to be a popular pick as well, especially among those who work in the bush. Snakes mostly, but I hear surprising a bobcat, or badger, can ruin a day. Also, feral hogs seem to be expanding. Should probably have included Advice Guy's perspective, rural dude, coyotes vs. farm animals type stuff. Quick story, different dude. Rural house, gets a knock on the door late at night. Wife answers the door, guy's car is broken down. Closes door to make a phone call, looks down the hall and husband is in skivvys with rifle. I saw husband make a 50 yard rifle shot vs. coyote from moving vecicle at 7 oclock (12 being straight forward) moving opposite direction of vehicle at trot. Head shot. One of the most ridiculous things I have seen. One second we were BSn, he glanced out the window, and what seemed like 2 seconds later he had fired. Know your ability. Consider the situation. |

| #7 Home defense that anyone can use? Shortest legal barrel with a fore grip and adjustable stock, in .410. Loaded #8, 00, Slug, 00, slug, 00, slug, slug. Pump. Point. Shoot. Repeat until it stops moving. My personal pref is for my Glock 23c, has been by my bed for a couple decades, except when my arm was broken (had a 380 Auto then for the lower kick firing off handed). Rifle is not for "home defense" except in a natural disaster or breakdown. Then its time to break out the AK47 (an old, well gunsmithed Mahdi from parts unknown), and my 7.62 (.308 Win) Model 70 hunting rifle. |

| #6 I will yield that the smaller caliber is easier for the ladies. I was given advice that if a household is to have a defense rifle, it should be a rifle the less physically able resident is able to use (accounting for children/elderly/handicapped/etc), with a quick adjustable stock so all frames can properly weild. If a person believes that to be good advice, an AR15 - and practice - fits a lot of body frames. I have an easier time picturing a 10 year as effective with an AR15 vs. a Biden Blaster. And practice safe people. Showing off for the camera is an easy way to get people hurt or worse. Like a tablesaw, gun don't care if you had a good or bad day, love ice cream, stepped in dog doo, read a good book. |

| #5 Besoeker, if the Mohammedans have Ismael as a trainer, we might have a chance (Ha Ha). I suspect, some of them are a little better than this yoyo. |

| #4 at only .223 or 5.56 Nato if you prefer, in situations where weight and mobility are not an issue, the .308 is my preferred caliber. I will yield that the smaller caliber is easier for the ladies. "Reach out and touch someone" "Nothin' says lovin' like something in the oven" |

| #1 Well, yeah, that's understandable. Eventually your gun safe runs out of room. |
