I'm in two minds about shotguns, don't wana go on the list but, first signs of shtf I'd be out of here in about half hour, with that in mind I keep thinking it wouldn't matter if I was on the list coz I'd be gone before they got here, but I think it's a better plan to stay off the list and improve my skills with what I have.
Hi,
Forgive my ignorance prep girl but why wouldn't you want to be on the firearms register?
I think if the shit did ever hit the fan the police would be more interested in stopping the Chav hoards from looting not coming after you for legally owning a gun. Plus If it was a real bug out situation would there even be any police left?
A bow and arrow is great for hunting but if 2-3 intruders get in your property would you rather have a bow loaded with 1 arrow or a shotgun loaded with 3 shells? For me it's not a case of one or the other, the more you have the better chance you have of surviving. Neither is better but both certainly have there place. If things ever went bad I'd use abow for hunting, my rifle for limited hunting and mainly protection and my shotgun purely for protection.
