Been thinking about it for awhile, and I finally went down to Gun Connection and picked myself up a Remington 870 Express Synthetic with the 2 shot extension (making it, I believe, 6+1) and an 18" barrel. A home defense thing, don't-cha-know . Living in Baltimore City, I figure getting something with a little more authority than my 9mm wouldn't be the worst thing in the world. My first gun purchase in probably ten years, my first shotgun, and for that matter, the first long gun I've purchased.
Now I just need to get to the range and get familiar with shooting the thing.
Bad things have been happening lately in my normally quiet neighborhood. Hopefully, if some low life decides to do his bad thing on my property, the satisfying and intimidating "chunk-chunk" will convince him of the error of his ways.
Oh, and I thought I'd mention briefly meeting another mdshooter there ... 3rdRcn was at the counter sporting a MDShooters shirt. Didn't talk much; but it was good to meet someone from the forum.
