I have a friend who has for all intents and purposes, never shot a gun. He did shoot way back as a kid but doesn't remember it. We are going to go out to our local range, which he also just joined along with me, and I am going to let him try my Marlin 39A. From there we might work up to a .223 and/or .45LC rifle. But, we'll see. I do also have a .22 handgun he can experience.
He is talking about soon buying his first, one, and only gun. He has never hunted and is not planning to do so in the future, So, his gun will be for range fun and self-defense. He will NOT be carrying but keep it in his home. I don't know if he will prefer a long gun or handgun.
I am way past the gun brand/caliber war arguments but I am wondering what we would be a really good all around choice for him. Maybe this query is a little vague or premature but I wonder if any of you have any thoughts?
