TC in Hickory sends in today’s Q&A question asking about long guns as part of a self defense plan. Personally, I REALLY like the idea of a long gun for home defense, but what I’ve found is that taking a long gun in and out of the safe every day isn’t a realistic thing, so …

Back in July I shot several matches, and it seemed like at every match I was having to DQ people for safety violations.
