EDIT:
Storage - from what I understand, you don't want to overly oil anything cause it'll all settle in whatever position you keep the firearm. So light oil coverage and keep it in a moisture free environment. I keep some of that silica stuff in my safe. Last I read, some people suggested getting some very specific material gun socks that kept the moisture out - I think it was the same silicon cloth that some gun cleaning kits come with.
I'm not entirely sure though... at work here officers are required to qualify in specific shooting environments quarterly so their firearms never sit for too long without care.

Peter, I'll check out that Benelli. I've used a Remington 870 but thought the action was a bit stiff and slow for home defense. That's why I'm considering a semi-auto. Thanks for the info on cleaning.
NX, my Beretta is the Bobcat. It's under 5" total with a 2½" barrel, and can fit in the palm of your hand. I can't hit much beyond 15'-20' with it, though!

Mine shoot so fast, they sound like semi's.
My 1100 Remington is still probably faster though not by much!

fish, I know what you mean. I swiped the sample photo off Google. Mine has the black synthetic grips. The Browning can't be fired with the hammer cocked if the clip is removed, even with one in the chamber and safety off.
NX, yeah it's tiny! Ready to rumble with a hair trigger standard and a relatively large capacity for it's size. Only for close-up work. My police officer friend calls it a "gut buster".

The Super Black Eagle is an awesome piece, hard to beat for water fowl or turkey. 3.5" of 12 is a lot of lead capacity. My dad has a Field which is only a 3" chamber, it swings and balances nice for pheasant, doves, quail, etc.
I have an 870 SuperMag, an 870 20 gauge, a 700 .243 with Leupold scope, pretty walnut stock, etc, and a Browing synthetic 7mm Rem Mag.
Right now I have a serious itch for a Ruger Super Redhawk in .480 to do a little hunting, carry in the backpack for anti-predator operations, and just for the novelty of having such a big gun.
Also looking hard at a Weatherby Ultra Light in either .280, 7mm-08 or 308 or Browing stainless synthetic bolt in 375 H&H.

You won't know I'm armed if you pass me on the street...unless you pose "an immediate and otherwise unavoidable risk of death or grave bodily harm to myself my family or the innocent." Then you will know I'm armed...the split second before you get shot.

As for purchasing ..... Just to be allowed to purchase and own it is about a 9 month time period with a written test and actual shooting expierience (Loged)
with a 2" paper pile to keep everything in order...

I love my weapons, and its great living in the wild west of Tucson, AZ. Especially, when I ride my dads Harley with a Beretta .45 on my hip.
Here is the list on my Guns:
S&W .38 special
Ruger S/A .22
Venis 6.35mm Auto (spanish)
Ruger 9mm
Lee Enfield No4 MK1 .303cal 1944 (WWII)
Type 99 Arisaka Nagoya Aresenal 7.7mm (special para-military WWII issue)
Marlin Lever action .22cal
Ruger M77 .270cal
Berreta Cougar .45cal
Marlin Model 880 .22cal
Remington 870 Express 12ga
Sears Ted Williams semi-auto 20ga
Here are the pictures. I just uploaded them to my website.
I also have a German WWII K98 Bayonet I found while hiking near the Battle of the Buldge in Bastogne. Its in terrible condition, but its cool none the less. I'll post a pic soon.
Lots and lots of Knives, and I hope to be making my own real soon. Once school gets started. So look out for those.

I need to get some pictures of my hardware. Its a small list but functional. And yes I know I need an AR-15 to complete it.
*Glock 19 - nightsights, m3 tactical light and several "older" full capacity mags
*Mossberg 500 - ghost-ring site, (black) synthetic stock and bbl
*Remington 700adl in 30-06. black/synthetic stock/bbl. Leupold vari-x II 3-9 w/mil dots, knobs again in tactical black.
When I'm not reaching pure shooting satisfaction I have a few spydercos and benchmades. But those are usually reserved for camping and climbing.
In other news, we should be only a few weeks away from the end of the hi-cap magazine ban. Is anyone else excited?

Silent and deadly
Nope, not a but one of these
No firing weapons in my home, they have been on hiatus at relatives' homes for quite some time. I guess I can't be a redneck anymore!
