I've got a couple shotguns and a single-shot .22 - and if my family gets hungry I'll shoot something and we'll eat it. Other than that, I really have no use for firearms.....although it is fun shooting bullseyes, bottles, etc.....like I said before, there's enough killin' going on without me helpin' out.
If someone threatens my family, I'll kick the **** out of them with my baseball bat or they'll shoot me and kill me. So be it. I refuse to live in fear.

Flame on, I don't really care.

Hoping for a better world,

I don't mind you thinking that way as long as you don't start supporting laws keeping the rest of us from owning them.

I'd either get a 9mm or a 45. Both have been around a LONG time, lots of quality pieces out there, and ammo is readily available for both. Specific models will depend on your personal preference, but be prepared to spend some money and buy a quality name.
