I've just got a Gamo rifle, "Rocket" I think it's called. Came complete with a Gamo air rifle scope on it. Sportsman's Guide, or Midway, or some online place 4-5 years ago. Accurate enough when the wind isn't blowing here, which isn't often, I do OK on them little birds at 25 paces to the chicken coop.

Kinda like that pistol idea too. For when the weather gets nicer and I can work in the garden. Easier to keep handy than the rifle.

The desert is a true treasure for him who seeks refuge from men and the evil of men.
In it is contentment
In it is death and all you seek
