Hi All
I am new to firearms and am considering whether to buy a shotgun or handgun for self-defense. I am taking a basic firearms class at a local range next week. I live in Los Angeles, and after the second shooting within 6 blocks of my apt. over the past couple months, i've decided I need to be able to protect my wife and myself in our home.
I'm interested in opinions regarding a handgun vs. shotgun, and which models of either you suggest. I'd also appreciate any advice on getting the most out of my initial firearms training and also mistakes to avoid in gun shopping. Thanks in advance!
