I've never owned a gun, but a couple buddies at work are big hunters/gun owners and it's gotten me interested. I'd like to eventually have one of each of four types: handgun, shotgun, small rifle, big rifle. After talking to my buddies a lot and seeing a few good sounding online sources (here's one I thought was good), I'm trying to decide on actual guns now, and which one or two I should start off with. Home defense and target shooting is probably more of a consideration over actual hunting, so I just wanted to see if anyone had some good recommendations.

oh and for a small plink around rifle, i checked out the remington 597 .22 they had, seemed pretty nice... anyone know about it? guy at the counter said it's a pretty damn nice gun for the price ($128) |

KISS (keep it simple, stupid) applies to home defense. basely speaking, revolvers are defense guns, whereas semiautos are offensive. |
