Re: First personal firearm thread
My primary carry weapon in a Springfield XDM in .40cal. I love it.
As far as home defense / child safety, my personal preference is a Remington 870. Added features are a light, adjustable stock and ammo rail.
My children are familiar with the family weapons, know their utility and the mystery factor has been removed with familiarity training. They shoot the gun, they clean the guns and have been educated and trained as to their utility and purpose.
The most important thing to teach, IMPO are the 4 basic rules of gun safety and they can never be denied.
