What if they ban...

What if they ban all semi auto firearms. Handgun, rifles and shotguns. If you were forced to defend yourself, family and homestead right now without a semi auto do you have any capable non-semi auto firearms to turn to?
 
I have several bolt action rifles but that wouldn't work well for home protection. But I also have an 870 Wingmaster that would work.

Handgun?
 
For close range-ish, I'll grab my Rem Tac14 w/arm brace. After that, I'd probably go with either my 44 or 357 Win 94 Trapper.

I'm not really a revolver guy, but I wouldn't mind picking up one of those S&W 8 shot revolvers some day.

CCW gun?

For a non semi auto CCW I'd probably have to get one of the 8 shot revolvers from S&W. I really like how the Pro Series 627 looks.

My handguns are all semi autos. With exception of a bolt action pistol, XP 100
 
I've got a pump 20 gauge and a pump .410 I could use if need be for in the house. But for CCW I don't have anything but semi auto. I used to have a Colt Detective Special and it was a good little CCW revolver. I'd probably look at getting something like that but hammerless.
 
I have enough of the needed firearms to outfit a small team. I'm light on maneuverable rifles but have one or two that would work.

No! It is a hypothetical question. Something for discussion.
 
Yeah, it's just something to mull over. I took count of the revolvers I have that are readily suitable self defense guns. I have five S&W double actions well suited to the purpose. A 20" barrel with rifle sights for my 870 Wingmaster 12 gauge. And, a 20 gauge Youth Model 870 with a 21" barrel that is good in the house. A few lever action Marlin rifles in .44 Magnum, .30-30 and .45-70 are ok rifle choices. All the lever guns have aperture sights. There is always a pretty good herd of scoped bolt guns for longer ranges.

Edit: That's before they were all lost overboard in the boating accident.

Not going to debate or argue with you. Leaving all politics aside the threads intention is simply a "what if" kinda thing. Get ya thinking kind of thing. Have a great day.
