How many of this list of 10 SHTF guns do you own?

[Hop]

A moderately entertaining article from 2nd Amendment freedom blog. As I was reading through it I thought, "damn, I have a lot of those".

So how many of these do you have?

Second Amendment Freedom- Firearms Rights: 10 Guns To Choose From If "It All Goes Bad"

1. AK47
2. 1911
3. Hi-cap 9mm
4. Buck Mark .22
5. Ruger 10/22
6. Mosin Nagant
7. 870 shotgun
8. M1 Garand
9. Ruger Mini 30
10. AR-15

 

[Colt556]

Seven on the list....

But if I can substitute a S&W 41 or Ruger MKII for the Buckmark.... 8
A 1903, 1903A3 or a 1917 for the Mosin......................................9
M1 Carbine for the Mini 30.......................................................10

Dang, I have some shopping to do.

 

[Brandon]

I have a .22... just not a 10/22. Guess just 4 for me then.

7

7

Wait, what about that kayak accident?

 

[churchmouse]

I have many listed but not the make and model. No 9 MM at all but a hi-cap .45 (14+1) does that count or is this a specific list??

 

[Icarry2]

if I were to own any guns I would say I might want to have 6 plus a few that aren't on the list which I feel might be vital..

 

[rockhopper46038]

5, but 7 if you aren't hung up on the 10/22 and the Buckmark as your .22 rifle and pistol, respectively.

 

[paddling_man]

Wait, what about that kayak accident?

You're right. Water on the brain.


Zero.

i voted 5, but i have 6 remington 870's so 11 wasn't a option

The article lists criteria in the 1st paragraph. Point being your best bet is to have at least 4; small caliber, large caliber, 9 or 45 (preferably a hi-cap) & a shotty. I think we can all pretty much agree on that & if you are <4 then you have some shopping to do!

Mini-30? Why is a 7.62x39 rifle that is picky about ammo (at least some of the newer ones, from what I hear) on the list?

Nothing against Minis, mind you, and I consider the stainless ones to be good farm guns, but on this list for the $650+ it seems out of place or outdated. Add to that the relative lack of actual combat seen by Minis (unless you count The A-Team ) and the fit seems even worse.

Edit: Just noticed the original list was from 2009, which may have been before ARs started coming down in price (thanks PSA and BCM)

Of course I no longer have any from the list and my Mini-30 hasn't been seen since those tree-thieves raided the farm.

I'm voting 6, but I don't really agree with some of their list choices.

 

[Blackduck21]

Good post. I have 6 but could easily count 8 if you weren't sp specific.

7.5


1. AK47
2. 1911
3. Hi-cap 9mm
[STRIKE]4. Buck Mark .22[/STRIKE]
[STRIKE]5. Ruger 10/22[/STRIKE] --> Substitute a Marlin 60, so count that as .5 as it fills the same role.
6. Mosin Nagant
7. 870 shotgun
8. M1 Garand
[STRIKE]9. Ruger Mini 30[/STRIKE]
10. AR-15

 

[churchmouse]

I sold all the 7.62X39 pieces. I favor M-4 and AR-15's. That said I have 9 of the 10 if you are not hung up on Make and specific calibers. Well there was the boating accident in 09.

 

[spencer rifle]

4, since I converted the 870 into a Mossy 500.
5, if I can count the AR7 as a 10/22
6, if I can count the Explorer II as a Buckmark

A Garand? Really?

 

[gundoggermax]

0... I really need to buy some more guns

voted 5 but got 7 due to my drum mag RPK and rem 700 for really long range zombie fun
