Lever Guns and Self defense

Interestingly most people look to shotguns and pistols for self-defense while on their property. I wanted to share two examples of why you shouldn't necessarily over look a lever action rifle for personal protection. This video shows how a 30-30 marlin 336 can pop off rifle rounds very quickly and accurately. Remember that both 4 legged and 2 legged critters should be considered when carrying a self defense gun in the woods or while camping. Another video by Sheriff Jim Wilson explains why sometimes this is a good option. . Lever actions make great truck guns, and if you're out and about scouting some hunting terrain, having a marlin 1894 in .44 magnum will allow you to hunt all sorts of critters and will provide a significant deal of protection when hiking around and glassing hills. As was mentioned by Sheriff Jim, the look of a lever action invokes thoughts of Cowboys, not Mall ninjas and "tactical gear" buffs.
