Which Firearm(s) do YOU Take?

[exxonv]

4 of us run the same set up, for the most part. I have 2 19's as well as a few of us. We all have multiple ARs. Availability is what you have on hand (parts drawer) or back ups.

I think the Darwin award will be rewarded to those that decide to rob a gun store. Just saying.

Ha! Ha! Ha! I hear ya... I'd never rob anything, that just makes me as bad as the rioting hordes... If I were stuck in a city (and I agree, last thing I'd do is head into one), I'd rather have a weapon that I could feed easier than one I could not.

It's all a scenario, and I agree, robbing a gun store would be stupid. If I had anything to barter with, I'm guessing 9mm would be easiest to obtain - but again, all a thought exercise (thankfully).

So some key takeaways from the thread so far:

• 1911's or Glocks - more folks w/the latter, but both were represented (as well as other models)
• Caliber isn't a concern for many
• ARs mentioned the most so far...
• NOBODY is heading into the city...

Gotta wonder how it went down for folks in New Orleans...

Hello Everyone,

I apologize if this has been asked already – but I’m curious about answers (and why) to these questions:

• Scenario 1: Major natural disaster strikes and you have room for only one rifle and one pistol to take with you. Which rifle would you take (and why), and which pistol would you take (and why)?
  AR an 1911, ease of ammo

• Scenario 2: Major rioting is occurring in the inner city and you HAVE to make your way into town to pick up/protect an elderly family member. Which weapons do you bring with you (and why)?
  AR with 50 beowulf upper and .223, 1911 and G17C knock down and penatration

I’m curious about make and caliber along with reasons. If you don't own the weapons you'd like to bring with you, list what you'd like to have vs. what you own.

Natural Disaster: 30-30 Marlin lever gun and a 357 revolver. Urban disaster: AR15 and a 1911.

#1
Sig P228, 9mm
Armalite AR15, .223

Why, my Sig never fails, and uses NATO/Common ammunition.
Dito on the Armalite.
I might consider the G19, common to find an extra mag/ammo for if needed. (security, police, etc)

#2
Not sure that I'd go rescue anyone. (If they were inner city) If Rioting is active, no reason for me to be there.

Not sure I'd take any long guns, AR or Shotgun with me into inner city major rioting. Too easy to have the weapon used against me. What can I possible do with a weapon against a crowd of people.

Go watch the LA riots on youtube, doesn't look like anyone wins.
