Investment is actually a great reason to buy guns. They are a commodity just like anything else but they never go down, always up. Mine are usually in a gun safe as a matter of fact, they have never been in a drawer next to my bed..lol. I don't have a drawer next to my bed.

As far as home protection goes a shotgun beats the shit out of any handgun. My wife's weapon of choice is an M1, again, not a handgun.

But handguns go up a lot quicker in value so are a better investment in my opinion, although the M1 has gone up in value about 300% as the WWII vintage get harder to find. A Girand in particular would be a great investment opportunity.
