Seems to me King Leonidas had a pithy retort for just such an occasion.
Just what you see, pal.
You dissing my SAKO?.....LOL
Shotgun is the weapon of choice.
I prefer the Remington 12 Ga. Wingmaster
Shotgun is the weapon of choice in any gun fight.
4 shot is the modern day crowd pleaser.

If there is no market for it that is correct.
You want layered preparations.
Start with defence. Buy cheap surplus police ballistic panels from bulletproofme.com. They run $50 each or less.
Put one into your briefcase to act as a ballistic shield. Put one into your kids’ backpacks. Stuff them behind your car’s interior panels...if you can’t afford that many, then insert heavy phonebooks inside your car doors and side panels to provide limited ballistic shielding from the smaller Saturday Night Specials typically used by street thugs.
If you have a little money, upgrade your car and home windows with Llumar’s ballistic security film. It applies like window tint and stops light caliber rounds. 3M has a more serious version for more money if you have the means.
Pick up a nice bulletproof vest. eBay and Craigslist have plenty for sale at major discounts. Go with smaller and cheaper to enable you to see how often you will really wear it...no sense in spending big money if you decide that you never want to wear one on “ordinary” days.
With basic defence covered, get a big dog. Works great as a crime deterrent, alarm, and aids in an actual fight by distracting an enemy.
For weapons, start with non-lethal such as stun guns, pepper spray, bean-bag rounds for shotguns, etc. This gives you some options for self-defense that are less likely to have extreme legal consequences if you make a mental error in the heat of an event.
With the above covered, you want a flare gun with a conversion kit...flare guns can escape the most rigid gun control laws, especially if you are sailing overseas, yet the conversion kit allows them to fire lethal rounds.
After the above is on your shelf, pick up a revolver, not a semi-automatic pistol. Semi-auto pistols must be cocked to fire...they are offensive weapons and should be lower on your list than a purely defensive revolver.
Likewise pick up a shotgun. Pick the smallest that your ego allows, as shells for a .28 guage are substantially cheaper and easier to carry in large quantity than a 12 guage.
With the above covered, you will want a semi-auto rifle (for hot combat) and a bolt-action long-range deer rifle for sniper purposes.
Also, consider transportation...diesel is better. You can home-brew your own bio-disel from a variety of food. Gasoline is more difficult to obtain in a survival situation (though still possible...many people drive on “drip” gas straight from an oil field).
Throw in flares for your flare gun and a good hand-knife and you should be up to the point where a “go” bag and a survival bunker *other* than your house puts you in an elite group that is ready for any level of society downgrade or collapse.
Can you name a time in history where there was no market for gold?
Claymore mines.
Check out my post 95. Poor man’s Claymores.
The deadly spork!

Isn’t that a watch? :)
