| #7 Funny how my Glock and Mini-14 got lost in the lake too. Quite a few years ago. Before I moved to where I am. |

| #6 but that's what got lost in the lake... Should have kept them in the book safe. |

| #5 Honestly, if SHTF, my goto gun is probably going to be my M-1 Garand for anything over short range. I have a 7.62N and 5.56N rifle, but I KNOW the M-1 will do the job. |

| #4 .22 bolt & revolver for practice and teaching. Pump shotgun for hunting birds, up-close defense, and intimidation. Bolt .270 Win or .30-'06 for large game hunting (2-4 legs) at a safe distance and with common ammo. .30-30 lever carbine for large game hunting (2-4 legs) at shorter range or in woods, also with common ammo. .38 special revolver and/or 1911 to fill out the list. Seven, not five, but that's what got lost in the lake... |

| #3 3 of 5... don't like shotguns... too much spackling involved. Don't see a need for a .22 unless you're a Mafia hitman. |

| #1 The "best" gun is the one you have with you, and know how to use like its part of your own hand. Choose for ammunition supply (cant beat .22LR and 9mm parabellum for availability, 5.56 or .7.62 for long range), accuracy (depends on practice) and reliability (bolt action rifle, pump shotgun, and a wheel gun are kings for this, along with the GOG - good old glock - or a 1911) |
