owning has never been hard for me.If it's DA, Double stack, in a pistol, or manually operated, it's out of the question, unless reworkable to Cocked and locked carry, like the M21 Beretta is. Not having a .22 unit or a .22 look alike is a big strike against it, too. It better not be a weirdo caliber, either, unless a simple barrel and mag swap makes it take a common caliber, for practice.
with a longarm, shotgun is pointless, rifle has to be an autoloader, be easily disassembly-able into a concealable package. It's got to offer a QD, return to zero scope,really nice trigger pull, really fast handling, luminous sights, a threaded muzzle and a .22 unit,or it isn't much more than a "bury-cache" pc, if it's worth owning at all. I put the sks in the latter category. It should be lw, reasonably accurate, have a decent range, and take a GI cartridge. That narrows it down a lot, ya know. In fact, it narrows it down to one type of rifle.
