THis one firearm restriction sounds good on paper. That is kinda how my situation started. My first firearm was a Remington 870 home defense shotgun. Then next came the Savage .22LR bolt action rifle. Then Speedy let me shoot his .22 semi auto rifle, so i ran right out an got a Marlin 795 semi-auto rifle. I took the wife to the range with the .22's and she thought it was ok, she didn't hate shooting, but really did not seem to enjoy it too much. 22LR ammo is $6.47 for 100 round CCI varment load good for target practice on paper at the range. So for me, the first purchase was for home defense, then I was looking at under $200 22LR rifles for target shooting. I factored in the original purchase price and the cost of ammo. Then i went out shooting clays, so now i would like to get another 870 to be used as my field gun, unless i get a great deal on a Browning Citori. Now I want a pistol. This has all happened in the last 10 months.
