Thanks for the awesome advice and info. I agree with what you guys are saying.

To clarify:

I live in California. Worse, I live in Southern California (where I am convinced the local government wants to very much deprive me of my rights).

I was thinking of starting with a shotgun, then pick up hand gun training and then lastly, look into the assault rifle.

Home invasion is a very real possibility here. Additionally, we are prone to disasters like earthquakes, floods, fires, and riots. For those reasons alone, I feel it is prudent to take precautions and security measures (I am not paranoid mind you and in any case, I feel it is my right as a lawful, law abiding citizen). I am trying to learn the lessons from the 1992 riots and Hurricane Katrina. Protect my loved ones, property, and water/power supply in the event of a disaster.

I think I will get the Mossberg and head over to the range for classes (gun safety, how to properly handle the weapon and to get used to it too.) A weapon is no good if one is incompetent or afraid of handling it.
