Greetings,
Thanks for looking. Im here asking for advice for my first firearm. Im going to be moving into my first place with my girlfriend in 3 months back to a city thats known for crime and drugs. In the past me and my family have been in 3 armed home invasion robbery's 1 of which shots were fired (shooting up our house, killing my 110 pound german shephard, and robbing my father of very high 5 figures). Me and my father moved out of the city because of the crime, now Im moving back to take over the family business.
Im looking for 1 long gun or maybe 2 to sit inside my house in case of an emergency. This would be my first gun even owned or even fired. Im looking twords a Mossberg 590 or a newer Ruger mini-14. I like the Mossberg because shotguns are known for home protection and you cant really go wrong and with buck shots you cant miss. What I dont like is that the 590 only holds 9 shells, like most shotguns. Also, i dont like the safety you have to hold up to rack it. I havnt looked much into remington
I like the mini-14 for many reasons. Its a ruger, it shoots .223's, and it can hold up to 30 shots and uses a clip so its faster to reload then any shotgun. Also I could keep loaded clips with it. I could get the semi automatic version which is also a plus.
Thanks for any help
