Living in Chicago sucks and our "concealed carry" laws basically prohibit you from carrying anywhere but on your own property.
My friend got mugged, last week, and it made me want to get a gun for home defense and for anytime I'm out walking at night. I don't shoot a lot, so I figured that something like the Taurus Judge would be good. Honestly, I don't want to kill anyone unless I have to, so I like that I could fire a round of buckshot, first, and then .44lc if the buckshot isn't enough.
I hear the Taurus Judge getting a lot of shit, though, and I'm curious as to why. I wouldn't use it as an everyday carry (there's too many places where guns are prohibited), just for home defense and when I'm outside at night. Is this a decent choice, then, or is it still shit? If it is shit, what's a better choice?
Thanks.
its fuckhuge and .410 is silly. just get a 9mm carbine or something.

Buy an UZI parts kit and a trench coat, if you're going to carry illegally at least do it right.
Remember, volume of fire is the most important factor for a self defense gun.
>inb4 he puts a 16" barrel on it and makes it semi only
there's a reason that regular boring semi-auto pistols are the gold standard for CC. don't be a snowflake. get a glock or M&P or Hi-Point or whatever makes your pussy tingle in 9mm and carry that. the law is perverse in that you need to shoot to kill. shooting with the express intention of maiming will land you behind bars and/or bankrupt as a result of a civil suit.
if you shoot to wound you will spend the rest of your life in prison. Shoot to kill, if you aren't carrying the gun get a full size high capacity handgun so that way you now have a full size high capacity handgun instead of some kind of meme.
>OP doesn't shoot a lot.
Change that, then buy.
Keep practicing.
Develop muscle memory and good habits.
Good luck out there.

Long barrel UZIs look like shit and will be even less concealable under OPs trench coat.

As a fellow Chicago resident, the shitload of local businesses and buildings forbidding CC users is a big part of it.
