for protection? Well if you shoot at someone, let not be a dead body in your house cuz your azz is going to have to sell that house or move out.
for hunting? Well it is about 100 degrees outside and let alone camping, I cringed. Plus, from time to time, you see a dumb trigger happy hunter be shooting at anything that moves which includes you as well.
so I guess I'll buy it as a collectable item. Clean it, oil it down and remind myself that this weapon here and the likes are the causal to many deaths and suicide. The power to take a life like it is a god.
