A handgun gives you 2 things, shorter so they are easier to carry and can be concealed. Although a rifle or shotgun with a sling is easy to carry, just as easy as a handgun. Handguns lack power compared to rifles & shotguns. A shotgun will handle a pack of dogs better then any handgun.


If it’s important to have a concealed gun, go with a handgun. If not a pump shotgun is the way to go.

A 22 should almost always be the first gun, but people don’t like to hear this and don’t listen to this advice. A 22 is not “A Mans Gun” so it’s dismissed right away. But it really is a good choice.
