Hopefully, it doesn’t happen. Hopefully, we are never forced into a bad situation that requires us to rely on a firearm. However, if it ever does come to that, you need to know that you have the tools to put food on the table, keep predators at bay, and defend what is yours.
Thankfully, some of these tools are already available to you. I’ve put together a list of five of the most popular utility guns that are reliable, durable, and available on the market. When the going gets tough, these guns will not let you down, and they won’t break the bank either.

Yes, those are the PDX rounds. They’re devastating. Basically that gun is a hand shotgun.
I like .410 rounds with #6 birdshot.
Strictly for bird hunting of course, right? LOL
IF I was going to use a .410 for home/farm defense, instead of my trusted 12-gauge, it would be loaded with 3” shells with five 000 buckshot in each shell.

The moment a politician says you don't need a gun, is the moment you (a) need your gun and (b) damn' well better use it.
Birds that enter my home illegally. And my wife is comfortable with that handgun.

Could be, don’t know. The Min-14 may have been in Feinstein’s wish list but it didn’t make. I bought a Mini14 during that time, still have the gun. Feinstein’s “ ugly gun law” had all sorts of stupid criteria that had nothing to do with functionality such as no pistol grip, no bayonet, other idiot things I can remember. Anyway, I had a bull barrel and Leupold Gold Ring Scope and used it for var it hunting. Actually, don’t have it anymore, gave it to my son-in-law to shoot feral hogs. Anyway, thinking p we will learn a lot real soon.
I will definitely look into that.
No its not. I have a Mossberg 500 and when I rack it, it makes “that sound.”
i like the looks of the Mini better than the AR but you are right. Accuracy has always been an issue with the Mini even after Ruger made some modifications, then there is non-factory magazine reliability issues. On top of that the 30 apparently does not fire steel case ammo in 7.62 very well due to Berdan primers or some such. Sad, really.
