Nah, we all decided that shooting from the hip with one knee on the ground is the way to go.
Finally moving away from my left-wing parents. Time to buy guns!!

proved that one-handed limp-wristed off-camber high-angulation is
crucial for accurate shot placement!

Looks like Gnarsh is playing a bit too much COD. It's just a game bro, it's just a game.
When I was 15, my dad gave me a marlin 30-30 with a little 4x scope. That bad boy claimed many prarie dogs, 2 deer, and a few boars. Great all around rifle, easy to clean, perfect recoil, accuracy was near pinpoint at 100yds and was decent up to 200yds. Beyond 200yds, the bullet drop was pretty severe, but if you could compensate for it, there was still enough terminal energy to crack the forehead of an adult boar and drop it like a sack of potatos. The racking noise it made when you cycled the lever was a pretty good deterent to more than a few drunk rambunctious neighbors than I'd care to elaborate on. Not quite as intimidating as pump action shotgun, but it did the job. Gave it to my younger brother when he turned 21.
Only got 4 rifles now.
Marlin 9mm carbine
Marlin .22 rimfire
FNFAL paratrooper
Rem 700 .308

haha...i just found this thread. if you're game, i might be able to squeeze you in at our range this summer for some pre-college "how not to kill your classmates at a drunken party" weapons training
i've got everything from multiple poppers to a rappel/sniper tower, turning target/runners, and plenty of barricades
i could probably sneak you in on one of our open range fridays and let you get in some "real" training (read: non-internet coaching) and maybe try out a few different weapons so you'll have a better idea of what you want. but i 2nd mikeD's statement about guns at college apartments = bad idea.
muhuhahahahahaha

what kinda ammo is that? looks 5.56...but what manufacturer?
Federal .223 ball (practice ammo)
As ex-military and ex-law enforcement, definitely don't keep a firearm at college. Most universities are very safe and you just don't need to risk a weapon getting into the wrong hands. Keep a canister of bear spray instead. If you can keep firearms in a safe somewhere else in town (at an adult's place, one who doesn't have kids), fine. And take plenty of gun safety and marksmanship classes, safe use of firearms aren't something you want to learn on your own.
That said, Rem 870 is great, I think you can get a combo with a bird barrel and a home defense barrel. Mossberg 500 wouldn't be bad either, but I'd lean toward the 870.
For the rifle, a 30-06 bolt action is good for pretty much anything you could want to hunt, from deer to wild pig. A .223 Ruger Mini 14 from Big 5 sporting goods would be a fun plinker and an okay varminter (Howa 1500 bolt action or Savage with Accu-Trigger would be a lot better), or a Ruger 10/22 for a ton of cheap-shooting plinking fun (and great ground squirrel eradication to about 100 yards with CCI Stingers).
If you want a self-defense pistol, think light and small (380, 9mm or lightweight .40). You'll get tired of carrying a large, heavy pistol fast, and will soon leave it at home, so don't waste your money.
