Which Firearm(s) do YOU Take?

[exxonv]

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)?

• 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)?

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.

1) we are not going anywhere. if needed to relocate we have items ready to go, guns, that's my business

2) there is not one person i know of in the inner city, anywhere near us.Nor anyone i would risk my health & safety for.


3) perhaps better off posted in the survival / discussion forums. Where IIRC there was one of these already going.

well at least it isn't a football thread, though you don't specify the reason for the riots

handgun wouldn't change, P228. It works, I trust it, good holster, etc.
Rifle probably would:
A trip in a vehicle for recovery probably a folding AK. short & handier. Weapons would be out of sight but handy. My experience with the King LA riots says the action is isolated and there is a good chance of nothing happening. Wouldn't want to draw attention with a gun.
something more major (why am I leaving again, I'd want to hole up) I'd take the FAL. Its a heavy beast but I know it well.

Plan to hunker down right where I am but guns? Folks on this board tend to fall victim to a lot of boating accidents, tragically they went down with the boat...

SBR AR-15 in 5.56 and Glock19 for both scenarios. Keep it simple, stupid.

I'd bring what I have since that's what I train with. My 14.7" PSA midlength, and my Walther PPS.

Might not have the most capacity or best ballistics but bringing a weapon you have minimal training with is not the greatest idea.

I would stick with my 1911 and an AK in either situation. I trust the reliability on both more than anything else I own.

I keep an 870 and a 92PT in my car along with my survival pack plus my CCW firearm. If I am not at home, I have these supplies and tools to get me home.

Scenario 1: Unless my home is burning, this is where I go and I have what is in my car to get me there. If I am at home and need to leave, I would take one of my AR-15s + (spare bolt carriers) and (92F)…5.56 and 9mm equals lots of ammunition and parts out there (civilian, law enforcement, and military), and it is light so I can take a large quantity of ammunition . I have an ’87 ¾ Suburban and pop-up (or tandem axle car trailer)…I can take a lot so doubtful I would not have a shotgun and bolt rifle plus lots of ammunition for all of them. If I am forced out, my alternative site is my sister’s ranch in western Colorado.

Scenario 2: No family members near any city. I would not go anywhere near the city. If I am stuck in it, I have what is in my car to get me out.

+1 Except I would take one out of the safe w/ full auto capability.....
