22LR Rifle
The 22LR will be the most useful weapon of all. You can buy years worth of ammo now for a small investment. They are accurate, and It will bring down all small game, wild and domestic (If the SHTF there won’t be much big game to bring down after a few weeks). Though they are not the best choice for home defense, after the SHTF, the bad guys will be unable to get bullets in a short time, while you have thousands. Nuff said on that. And the report does not carry far, giving away your position, and all members of the family can use it.
Good point. We would not trade our 10/22 with the 25 round banana clips for anything. Besides hunting you could definitely ruin somebody’s day with that weapon. You don’t always have to break out the AK.
I just picked a 380. Seriously thinking about a 22lr also..
Read Mel Tappan’s books for a response to your statement.

“Survival Guns”
I love my old Remington Nylon 66. A lot lighter than the Marlin. I just picked up another brick of ammo yesterday.

Excellent advice. My weapons are all .22s; Beau has the bigger firepower; I’m just backup/cover fire and ‘small game plinker.’ ;)
When he saw how much ammo I owned, he proposed immediately, LOL!
