Teach the ladies how to handle a shotgun. It is much more threatening and efficient.
Thanks, but no. I live in South San Francisco. A threatening display of my shotguns is a no-no. Don't want to brandish arms and bring a ton of hurt down on us. A break-in and entering would be a justifiable use. In a skirmish, a handgun can be concealed while on our property, and not risk brandishing unless warranted. I really don't want the ladies in harm's way either by bad guys or the law; better me as I'm not young or pretty.
