OK I've read all this about handguns being banned in Canada and everything, and Gangbangers in the large citys pretty much having their way with the general population.
What about long guns??? Rifles and more important...shotguns??? Are these illegal to own also?
As a gun owner, avid shooter, and holder of a conceled carry permit in the state of Virginia, if someone where to come into my house the weapon of choice for me is my trusty Remington 870 12 gage pump action shotgun. #8 game loads will drop anyone if their within 20 feet, but won't over penatrate walls and such. I can't think of a better weapon for home defense than a shotgun except maybe a flame thrower.
They can have my gun when they pry it from my cold dead hand.
