Your relatives shouldn't be handling your guns when you're not around, and if you're worried about it, maybe you should invest in some locks. Pistol paranoia (or any gun paranoia, for that matter) really gets my goat.


I wasn't refering to any sort of paranoia. What I was talking about was a SHTF event, and for some reason you aren't there or don't make it. Then, your family has all of this fancy gear that they get to use.

I figure that my wife could figure out how to use an M6 easier than any sort of pistol. She has shot my Beretta 21, but she is sort of afraid of my XD-9 (boom too big), and I am not sure that she would even have the strength to pull back the slide. Also, the sight radius on a rifle is much better than on any pistol, so that also makes it easier for a beginner to bag bunnies and squirrels.

Just my $0.02.
