I too am buying a gun, next week, today was the clincher. I’m going to buy a rifle in case I need to hunt for food (total enconomic collapse) and a pistol in case I need to protect (total societal collapse).

Rifle is the best idea for both situations. “...a pistol is for fighting your way to the rifle you should have been carrying in the first place.”

You will also need traps for food because not all food can be shot right off. Don't forget extra guns you do realize if their was a real societal collapse and you live anywhere with population over 1200 you are gonna be surrounded by groups who come together and have multiple people with guns. You with one gun won't work you need more guns ammo definitely and plenty of packaged plant seeds to grow food. Good luck with those plans! :)
