Gun collection

By -
A number of people have asked me this question a number of different ways. So here is my thoughts on the quintessential gun collection that every American should own.

Basics:
Every collection should have the following at a minimum...
A) .22LR Rifle
B) Shotgun
C) Handgun
D) Centerfire Rifle - semiautomatic, external box magazine fed

 Medium-level collection:
I think most people would be well served to add...
E) A revolver
F) .22LR pistol
G) Bolt action centerfire rifle

Beyond these items, a more advanced collection would simply include backups to the aforementioned, as well as the gun owner's personal preference of collectibles.Here are some details on each item:

A) .22LR Rifle
Ruger 10/22
Marlin 60
Marlin 795
Remington 597
OK, it is hard to go wrong in this category. There are many others that would also serve well.

B) Shotgun
Pump or semi auto is preferable. Any action will do.
12-gauge, 20-gauge and .410-bore would be your best choices.

C) Handgun
Sig-Saeur, GLOCK, Smith & Wesson (M&P model), and Springfield XD are the makes.
9mm, .40 S&W, and .45 ACP are the calibers.

D) Centerfire Rifle
AR15
AK47 / AK74
SKS
M1 / M1A
M1 Carbine
Mini 14
FAL

Also, get plenty of mags (clips for the M1 and SKS) and ammo.

Do not Get your Ham License.

This author has many preppers for friends, due to obvious reasons . One of the topics that comes up often is comms in an emergency situation. I have decided the hill I will stop on is local comms - as can be had via normal handheld walkies or similar. To get more range, ham radio is about the only civilian option, and I will NOT be going that way.  It is a protest. And this is why .  From the tweets : "I hate to be discouraging, but I must remind everyone that even in a time of emergency, unlicensed operation is against FCC regulations. I know that personally I've received a few tattle-telling messages from hams over the past few days who have reported to me people sharing life-saving information over the radio without a license.  This is a constant reminder that for the overwhelming majority of the ham radio hobby, there is NO emergency so severe that unlicensed operation will be accepted. Sure, net control for formal nets can operate under emergency rules, but for most ...

Reposted from Social Media: By Robyn Eshelby-Theart. ====== I'm a qualified dog behaviourist. Not only that, but I spend my entire life working with dogs. It's literally my 24/7/365 as, beyond being a behaviourist, I have a doggy daycare and boarding facility. My job is dogs. Tonight I will share something with you. And for the sake of all innocent animals, I hope that you read it. PIT BULLS ARE NOT PACK DOGS. PIT BULLS ARE NOT MULTI-PET-HOME DOGS.   Now before everyone launches into the "I know a nice pit bull who nurses kittens and walks around with a duckling on his shoulder" stories... Everyone knows a nice pit bull. If everyone here was to post their nice Pitbull story, within a minute or two people who truly understand the breed would refer 100+ pit bulls currently sitting in rescue within 50km of Fourways, with profiles on social media, whose only crime was being true to their breed design. Hundreds of Pit bulls around the country, possibly thousands in fact, ...
