James,
I would use this gun for hunting before anything else. Also I think it's one hell of a conversatino piece. Maybe its the little man syndrome since I'm only 5'6. Who knows. I checked again this morning and the gun was still there. I worked 22 hours of overtime this week so I can pick it up next Friday without having to worry about wasting my 650 bucks on it. I feel it's more justified now.
The home defense thing was a little joke...we don't need home defense here. We can leave for days with the door open and there are never any problems. The mailman brings packages in and sets them on the table when we are gone. Throw that factor out the window and now would you get it?
