"It" hits? What guns do you grab?

[sniper7]

I was thinking a lot more about that today. was watching the news on the tornadoes. people had 17 minutes warning was it. when I get home I am going to really sit down and get my gear together so I can be out within 5 minutes and rolling.

Seriously!!!!!!
M1A, 1911 and toilet paper. Everything else is a luxury

Grabbing my AK, my Glock 22, Springfield 1911 GI, Ka-Bar (not a gun but useful), POF P415 and my survival kit and loading up in the truck and going to the nearest gun store and yelling "Friendly!" and helping them clear out all the important guns and ammo and heading for my friend's cabin outside Breckenridge...
Oh and before I forget, liquor store, don't think the Asian who runs the local store will object to me snagging some booze with a .45 in his face.

You don't remember the LA Riots then. The Asian liquor store owners where outside with AK's protecting it from looters. I would tread lightly my friend.

yup. well armed shop owners and family (many ex military) drove off the looters, and when the gang members showed up to get they get backs, they got their asses handed to them.

In SHTF I would avoid gun stores, liquor stores, malls and shopping centers like the plague.

My go-to guns right now would be my G36, G17, and AK. Along with an ontario fighting knife, and a folder (kerhaws and spyderco) clipped to every pocket.

things still aren't exactly where I want them, gear wise.

need to get optics for my AR so it can take the place of the AK as el mero mero, and get my FLC vest fitted and set up. also need to get a G20.

also need to get a tomahawk and a gladius. I'd get one of those fancy ones from that other thread, but they're too godawful expensive.

oooh and a spear. a spear would be awesome. have to see if cold steel makes spears.

They do. I remember watching one of their "look how strong our shit is" videos and a guy was throwing one through car hoods. Pretty sweet stuff but it looked heavy, not the kind of novelty I would want to lug around.

I'm grabbing my SOCOM16 and HK USP tactical... and 2 ammo boxes. My first option would be running up to the airport and try to jump a little Cessna or anything that can fly on regular gasoline... Then I'd just go hop state to state up to Canada or something... I'd like to go to either east or west coast if there weren't tsunami's to worry about.
Ohh... and yea.. I don't know how to fly... but I will learn how to pretty quick...

Too young to remember, but one advantage I have is the tactical one- training and experience- that's why rule #1 before approaching anything is recon, recon, recon. If it looks like a soft target, assume it's hard, if it looks like a hard target verify without compromising your position.

[GunsRBadMMMMKay]

I'd grab whatever was closest and within my ability. This is such an open ended question.....is the "ship going down" going to be a planned, announced event? Do you roll around to work and your daily "norm" with an AK, a Garand, an AR, etc.? If you get home...sure. If you're a swat member, and at work that day - then yeah, an MP5 and a sniper rifle are going to be sitting right there next to you, right? LOL

This makes you part of the problem in my eyes, friend. SHTF means no more morals right? Survival is more then just physically surviving....and you didn't even wait for it to become a matter of survival. The minute there was no percieved threat of punishment or retribution, you chose to take what another had built or worked for because it was easier. Don't be a grasshopper LOL.
