Feeling comfortable with firearms around (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snug

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'feeling comfortable' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'firearms around' is the wordplay.
'firearms' becomes 'guns' (I've seen this before).
'around' says the letters should be written backwards.
'guns' reversed gives 'SNUG'.

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for snug that I've seen before include "He joined" , "Close-fitting and cosy" , "Small bar in pub - warm and comfortable" , "Warm and cosy" , "Comfortabel with guns" .)
