or your reasons. I think everyone who decides to buy a gun has in the back of their mind somewhere the notion of the world going to heck. So, good for you. Practice with it, get comfortable but not complacent.

As for safes I have a GunVault which I recommend. Lets you keep it loaded yet have quick access to it, while keeping kids/others from getting to it.
