Tonight while talking to my father I casually asked what he thought about having a gun around for HD. Much to my surprise he said he's been thinking about getting a 12 gauge. My dad is a great guy, never owned a firearm for himself but bought me my first .22 when I was 12. So to say the least this surprised me. I am now wanting to get him a decent HD gun for his bday next month. Like I said my family aren't gun people so it would be strictly HD. What is everyone's suggestions? I am hoping to stay between $150-$250. Thanks for the input.
