I’m at the beginning of the process of acquiring a gun (maybe several). I have a list and would like some brutal/practical feedback on my choices.
My family hates that I plan to get a gun; this is the main factor in my decisions.

First (and potentially only) is a 12-gage shotgun. For home defense and hunting.
Something like the Winchester 1300, Defender 8 shot or Coastal Marine; Benelli, Remington and Mossberg make similar models but the 1300s have 8 shot capacity. Our hobby is sailing, that’s why I’m considering the Marine version.

Second and Third, I’m not sure in which order.
A.22 automatic pistol. For personal defense. Maybe the Berretta or the Walther. Small, light, easy to conceal and widely available inexpensive ammunition (cheaper to shoot and get good at).
The Thomson/Center G2 Contender Rifle with several different barrels (different calibers). Mostly for hunting, but potentially for sniping and defense.

All thoughts and criticisms appreciated.
Thanks
Michael
