Lever Guns For Personal Protection

I admit that I don't own any lever-action rifles or carbines. That said, Sheriff Jim makes a good case for owning one especially if you live in a gun unfriendly area.

I like the idea of one in a pistol caliber like a .357 Magnum where you can use the same ammo in your revolver and your rifle. I'm just still looking for the right one for me.
