Thanks for the thread. I am in the same boat although I have fired both at our farm and on a range. However that was a long time ago.

I have settled on a shotgun, probably Mossburg, for home defense. The make isn’t the deal maker though. More important will be the shop and service.

I also want a handgun but there is one huge problem in my case.

QUESTION: Since I have poor vision in my right eye (lazy eye) it is very difficult for me to sight a target. That is why I am going for the shotgun. But there must be some way people like me can learn to sight a handgun or rifle. Where do I go for info?

Get a handgun with a Crimson Trace laser light. Put the red dot where you need to hit, and pull the trigger. Something like this:

Get a halographic sight.

I am not sure if this will help you compensate for lazy eye, but training for cross dominant eye shooters may also work for you. Below is a link for one such discussion, but there are many. Hope it helps:http://pistol-training.com/archives/433

Mount a laser sight on the bottom of the barrel with a trigger on the back of the handle activated by your palm grip.
