June 23, 201016 yr Obviously, most members here have more than one firearm (and if they don't their working on it). But what is a firearm that everyone should own. It could be anything, pistol, semi auto, rifle, shotgun, revolver. I'm gonna say a home defense shotgun, one of those should be under everyone's bed.
June 23, 201016 yr Thats a tough one. Im going to give two answers. Someone that doesnt train or really shoot, 20Ga pump. Someone that does, an AR15 Carbine of good quality.
June 23, 201016 yr The gun a person is the most proficient with. Now that I got the smartass answer out of the way. Everyone should own a revolver, almost no maintenance, they always fire (for the most part ) and they are loads of fun and a great home defense gun
June 23, 201016 yr guns are tools.. tools that have distinct functions.. handgun shotgun battle rifle long range rifle that IMO is the basic need when it comes to firearms.. anything else is just a bonus..
June 23, 201016 yr I'm going to say a 10/22 is a must for any gun owner. They are cheap, cheap to shoot, and reliable. However, if you mean usefulness, then if I can only have one, it would be an AR type rifle.
June 23, 201016 yr I'd say a pretty potent combo would be.... .38 or larger caliber pistol + belt, holster, mag holder Bolt action rifle, something around a 30-30 to .300 Win mag. Pump action 12 gauge, ~18" barrel, preferably with choke tubes or get a 2nd long barrel for clays Semi automatic carbine. Anything from a 9mm pistol up... shoots lots of bullets magazine fed. Those 4 weapons should be able to handle just about any situation in North America. Right now I've got a 9mm Pistol and the M44 bolt carbine. I'm lookin around for the right deal on a 12 gauge... and eventually I'm thinking about getting a Tokarev SVT-40 or maybe a Dragunov for a semi rifle. I know I love 9mm and 7.62x54R for its low cost... so I'll keep buying weapons that use it. As far as MUST HAVE. Just due to insane low cost and massive BOOM... everyone should buy a Mosin Nagant. The things are so badass and cheap to shoot. Everyone should have some sort of 12 gauge pump shotgun as well. Hopefully nothing crazy happens, but those two weapons bang for the buck really have stand off when shit hits the fan.
June 23, 201016 yr Some type of older S&W classic revolver in 357 Mag/38 Sp. They are sweet. Everyone should have at least one revolver.
June 23, 201016 yr Ha... yeah... that is true. For some reason I have this itching desire to own like the biggest revolver ever made. Something crazy like a 8" barreled .50 S&W. IDK what I would shoot, but it would be totally awesome! HA!
June 23, 201016 yr I think I would have to say a 12 gauge shotgun. It is perfect for home defense, yet tons of fun on the trap/skeet range. And if you hunt, than it is a NJ approved hunting firearm. It gives you the most bang for the buck as far as flexibility.
June 23, 201016 yr PISTOL: 1911 GI .45ACP Lever action: Marlin 30-30 Shotgun: Winchester 1897 12ga Long range rifle: Mauser K98 8mm SHTF Battle Rifle: AK-47
June 23, 201016 yr I'm gonna say a home defense shotgun, one of those should be under everyone's bed. Yeah, and put a pistol grip on it and load it with 00 buck magnums! :-)
June 23, 201016 yr or 10 I was reading somewhere.. somebody recommended buying 10, and stockpiling ammo... then you can arm your entire street for the zombie invasion.
June 23, 201016 yr Author I'm gonna say a home defense shotgun, one of those should be under everyone's bed. Yeah, and put a pistol grip on it and load it with 00 buck magnums! :-) Um, sure. Why not. I have a welt on my stomach from the pistol grip from your ghetto blaster.
