Do more people own long-guns vs. handguns? Personal Observation.

[SPEMack618]

JCordell, I think there is an interesting correlation to be had here.

You don't participate in the "long arm sports" and are a police officer, who is primarily armed with a pistol

Makes sense that you would gravitate towards pistols.

I, on the other hand, am an avid hunter and shot skeet competitively in middle and high school. Also, I shot both small bore and air rifle competitively in high school.

In the military, I was issued both an M-4A1 and a Beretta. Obviously, I used the M-4A1 more.

And I gravitate more towards shotguns and rifles. Though now, my wish list is primarily rifle centered, and old hunting rifles at that: a Savage 110 in .25-06, a pre '64 Model 70 in 7mm-08, and a Remington 600 in 6mm Remington. That being said, those rifles are desired because I pretty muich have all the shotguns I want. Minus either an Ithaca '37 in riot configuration or a Remington 870 police magnum with wood furniture.
