Question: "I've decided to buy at least one handgun before 1/20/09 before the new admin makes it impossible. I'm going for a Colt 1991 it's a personal fave for various reasons. What're you looking into John?" -- bthewolf

Answer: Personally, I'm interested in getting a shotgun. That would give me a 9mm for the car and something with a wider spread, so that if I'm woken up late at night by a burglar and am a little bleary eyed, I'm not going to miss.

As to what sort of gun you should get, well, I'm not an expert. However, I have found that there are a lot of gun owners and even few experts who read RWN.

So, with that in mind, can people help out in the comments sections and tell bthewolf what sort of gun he should get?
