    If you’re worried about an attacker at your door, get a shotgun. Rifles are for when you can aim at a target at distance, pistols for when you can aim at close range. If you can’t confidently aim at your target, a shotgun is very effective, even with only a partial hit. (And, if you miss, the shot is unlikely to significantly harm an innocent bystander.)

    Also, most states don’t require registration. My state is a little weird in that they are avoiding registering firearms, so they make you register transactions.

      I would recommend the VR80 12-gauge shotgun. It is semi-automatic with magazines, which is pretty important if you are dealing with more than one trafficker. Plus, it is built on the AR-15 platform, which might be handy if warfare breaks out. If things get hot in that fashion, having mods could make it easier to engage at range.
