This is kinda funny. I have seven guns, but don’t enjoy shooting. And I inherited four of them when my father died last summer.
But they are basically on that list. I did the same thought process the author did, and applied it when we bugged out of Seattle to the 32 acres in rural Kentucky 9 years ago.
SKS - equivalent to the .223 he mentioned as far as usage. ‘
Remington 870 shotgun for “short range” power.
30.06 with a scope for food if necessary.
.380 with very deadly rounds for in the car. (it was all I could afford)
.22 with a scope for varmints (we have chickens to protect)
And then from my dad:
Ruger 1022 with scope and a bunch of high capacity magazines.
SKS (another one) with a bunch of high capacity magazines.
Glock 15 with seven magazines, two of which hold 32 rounds.
Mossberg 930 semi-auto shotgun with pistol grip.
Fotunately my dad also had about 40,000 rounds of ammo and I was able to acquire about a third of it (I have siblings).
But I honestly don’t really need any more guns and could probably sell the .380, but my wife really likes it in her bed stand when I’m not home.
And now I have enough ammo to actually get proficient in the use of these weapons, and the property on which to practice.
If I lived in a city I would be very depressed right now. I’d probably be looking for a place somewere in Kentucky or Wyoming. :)
You ever shoot that Mossberg pistol grip? I shot one once....once. Very hard to control when firing. I’d suggest picking up a full stock for it just for the heck of it.
sorry you lost all of that in your boating accident.
what is a glock 15?
