BUGGING IN


Long Arm:
I would LIKE to list my AR15 or .308 but in actuality I think it would be one of my assault shotguns. Again, due mainly to range of under 70 yards in any direction (don't plan on standing out in the middle of the street, which would give me a clear shot of just one block). The shot gun with slugs is a very formidable weapon (Yes, even in 20ga). And that coupled with buckshot would do to keep folks out of our yard and beyond. Plus I have a FEW rounds stockpiled.

Pistol:
9mm for sure. I have a few I could draw from so if there were a problem with one of them I would have redundant backups. And again, I have quite a few rounds for this caliber.

Pack Gun:
AR15 for it's light weight in case I DID have to go outside for something and high rate of sustainable firepower. This would be a backup to the others I feel without compromising the "Firepower". It is the carbine length AR15 A3 with a 2 power Beeman scope that is VERY tough. I sort of wanted to list a pistol here, but decided since I was at "Home Base" there wouldn't be all that much need for another one whereas SOME reach and rate of fire would be more desirable. And for Foraging the Pistol OR AR would either one suffice as I would be checking out other houses in the area (There are only two couples younger than us on the block and unfortunately the others are all in their 70 or above) so their ability, even with all of us helping out they would probably be rendered ineffective in the first round of outbreaks unless there were time for us to "Band Together" in the sturdiest house with a basement.
