If you really plan on using one gun to survive on, you could end up awfully thin if it breaks and instead of shooting that whitetail you have to try to beat it to death.

That author should have bought a Ruger wheelgun. They’re not as dainty as the S&Ws.

2 is 1 and 1 is none.
Always have a back up. A back up firearm, a back up plan, and back up's for your back ups.
Yes, it's possible to dupe up too much. 2-3 layers seems about right and allows for a good mix of affordability and paranoia. Your house starts looking "hoarder-ish" and you've probably gone too far.

Another good reason for the KelTec sub2000 in 40 S&W Glock configuration along with a Glock 23.

Exactly. Have at least one (or more) in each of the common calibers.

Serious question. Would the electronic lock on my gun safe be rendered inop as a result of a EMP (electromagnetic pulse) bomb?

Does your gun safe have a backup manual key lock?

I’m not a big fan of the new model Ruger single actions, I prefer the old models, but a Ruger SA will still be working long after everything else has stopped.

Bingo.
I carry a Glock 22 and a Glock 23.
Common parts between them, but the frame on the G22 is longer.
However, I have 20 Glock 22 magazines that fit in my Glock 23.
My holsters all fit either the Glock 22 or the Glock23, with or without my Insight Procyon lights.

If you are going to shelter in place having many guns and ammo for all is fine. This will also work if you have a place to go to that is already set up. If you are just bugging out in hopes of finding a place to go, or you are leaving ahead of the bad guys because you have to, you will not be carrying one of every popular caliber and ammo for them all. It is way too much to pack and keep track of.
What is a good idea is to incorporate within your plan enough people and skills to allow you to survive. Not knowing where you are going and not having that place prepared/stocked is almost sure failure. You won't need a computer salesman but a well experienced college trained gun smith gives your group security and work that can be bartered for many things.

# 10 Negative. What a nightmare to have everything locked up at such a time.

Even though broken, at times, a pointed gun in any caliber works just fine!
