I tend to favor handguns and shotguns when I shoot. I'm blessed to have plenty of room for me to engage in my hobbies, and the neighbors I do have tend to do their own shooting every so often. The sound of gunfire in this area is rather common: lots of hunting, target practice, varmint control, etc. (but no crimes committed with one - the only crime committed with a firearm was around 10 years ago), going on. .
I sometimes use a rifle too, but not very often. I only own one (a .22 WMR), and someday I hope to move up to more powerful models.
