I've never owned a gun in my life less shot a real one but have had the experience of cleaning and handling a couple of pistols.

I'm not too keen on the laws in GC but I'm over 18 under 21 so I'm pretty sure a pistol is out of question. Just looking for something easy to maintain and effective when needed.
Those 9mm carbines with the tubular magazines are pretty nice. Short and easy to maneuver through a house.

I'm like 6'2"-6'3" and a full size shotgun is still a little long for my tastes inside a house.
