Off-topic: Something for home defense?

Personally, the Remington had an overall better feel and had less play in the mechanisms.

But then I started thinking; if I have a gun in the house for defense, it obviously has to be readily accessible during emergencies, but it also should not be accessible to curious kids. Those two criteria are mutually exclusive, are they not? How can I have the firearm ready to use quickly, yet safely put away? This is probably the biggest argument my wife has against firearms in general. If I can answer this question, I think she'd be much more apt to allow it. I could put the proverbial foot down and say I'm getting one and that's that, but I have to live with her, so I'd like to find a more persuasive argument. Until then, I'm stuck potentially bringing a bat to a gunfight if an armed intruder does break in.

To answer your question Brian of keeping a loaded gun safe and have easy access. There is a lock that mounts the firearm to the wall and is push button combo. It keeps the action locked and the stock and barrel are visible. I am looking for the manufacturer and a pic I took when I was at the gunshow last month. Here it is.

One of the things I see in this thread is a bunch of misinformation. About half of you don't know what the rules are for your state and the other half doesn’t know what is legal and what is not. Do your research and then make an informed decision. NFA laws are Federal make sure that ha rifle has a minimum of a 16” barrel and a shotgun has at least an 18” barrel, If you want a barrel length shorter than 18” you have to pay the $5 tax stamp and classify it as an AOW (any other weapon). Short barreled rifles are a $200 tax stamp and a same with suppressors (if you can own them in your state). Paperwork on these things take a minimum of 3-4 months so it’s better to go with an 18” barrel shotty. Rifles are too powerful background becomes a problem.
