I just wrapped as piece of white tape around the muzzle of the riot house gun to help me see it in the dark.
Night-sight on the cheap.

Ron. I was thinking magazine fed so its easy to keep unloaded but fast to load. Also your not letting bad folks into your motor home (the brain part) so you don't need to worry about the frangible load thing. Be nice to have somthing with at least a bit of long range capability. I suppose a mini 14 with 10rnd mags would be ok as well but small bullets....
I wouldn't rule out the pump gun its just slow to load and you have to grab 5 shells fast and get em in without fumbleing. That little .44mag cabine would pack some punch, fast to load and not take up much space. Could also be used to hunt food. Of course the 12ga can also put food on the table.

You can not pack the heat within 1000 feet of any public building in the park.

How many rounds does that Ruger .44 hold?
Does it shoot .44spl (one of my favorites)?

I don't know about the semi auto carbine? do they even still make them? I got the idea in my head because my brother in law has a really nice Marlin lever gun in .44mag that He and the kids use for deer hunting in a few of the thick swampy areas on their farm. I don't know if it feeds .44 specials? I never tried it. They have a big rack of deer rifels in the shed so they stay cold all hunting season. No condensation. My brother in law makes the plan as soon as chores are done. He pretty much tells us who is going to push and who is going to sit and whrere they are going to do it. Everyone heads out mostly with their own guns but there are a few in the rack that anyone can grab. The girls don't have their own so they just grab one of the 30-30s or the .44 carbine. My neice hardly ever practices. She usualy has not fired a shot since last fall when she grabbed a carbine off the rack , headded out behind the barn and put a deer in the freezer. Kind of funny because her brother basicly lives to hunt and she has bagged more deer than him.
Anyways I thought that little carbine would be a good one to have in a camper/motor home but it is not detachable magazine fed so that made me think of the Ruger semi auto which came with a 5 shot hunting clip. I am certain you could get higher cap magazines for it.

I thought at least one Ruger .44 Carbine had a rotary magazine, like their 10/.22.

I have seen em in the gun store before. It looks just like a 10-22. Pretty shur the magazine is detachable. Not shure if anyone made a higher capacity one? They shure as heck make aftermarket higher capacity mags for the 10-22

Rokjox -don't forget these cute little loads. At over a $100 each pulling the trigger takes on a whole new meaning.

That link that i posted for the ruger Deerfield he had some targets that were 1.5in at 100 yards and also one load that was 1in. @100yrds. I would not call that limited accuracy for a carbine.
Those AK shotguns are ugly as hell. look heavy and bulky and suspicious that the ballance sucks. I don't like the ballance of an AK. They do meet the removeable box magazine requirement though but not really the PC requirement. Needs to look like something your dad gave you for your 14th birthday many moons ago.

THAT's what I absolutely HATE about you, rokJERKoff....You read it on the internets, so it must be true.
Don't attempt to really learn the facts, just spout.
A magazine as such can be either configuration, bonehead.
There are actually other types, too....Imagine that!
Truck Drivers (long haul)cannot carry....it's a violation of Federal Law, & most of the long haulers also go to Canada....try to carry a piece into Canada & back. You'll be in jail.
Regional carriers can, but only in specific instances.
I've been to 48 states & Canada, unarmed & did just fine.
The ruger .44 magnum, the redhawk, is in fact a 6 shot, double action revolver.
You really don't KNOW anything, you just read stuff.
There's really no replacing hands on experience.
What a maroon.

Hah! I see we're getting to the name calling stage!!! Name calling is usually near the end of the discussion (?) and is usually invoked by the side losing!

Piton Ron is for real, he knows his sh#t. I suspect the rest of you should turn your weapons in before you hurt someone- most likely yourselves.

Uh,.. lets see if I can touch all the bases;
Ruger carbine, rotary factory mag, 3+1
Make 'em count....
The Marlin lever action .44 DOES shoot .44spl as well as mags, buuuuuut,..
the downsides are;
1) lever action is harder to keep on target than pump (or semi-auto)
2) tube magazine MUST be loaded with flat point ammo or something very nasty can happen.
That said, I have two, a twenty incher with a Weaver wide fiels 3X scope that is puuuurfect as a brush gun, and the shorty carbine with a heavily ported muzzle and hooded front sight as a "guide gun" paired with the Super Blackhawk.
Saiga 12 bore is only slightly better than the POS Baikal box feed 12 bore pump-that-doesn't-pump.
And , actually Locker, that was a bouncing Betty land mine, but it failed to cause casualties due to your deviously adept application of shoe glue,..

Waste of breath. I call bullshit when I hear bullsh#t.
Nevermind, you obviously know everything, though,
BTW, You HAVE no employment field.
That takes resourcefulness.
Hands on experience, There is no substitute.

You can not pack the heat within 1000 feet of any public building in the park. Werner, what's the legal justification they're using to extend the "gun free zone" that far out? I know the school zone exemption is actually based on the Commerce Clause (of all things).
