Due to ignorant people voting Democrat many of these guns are illegally outlawed in New York City, Chicago, California, etc … Check your local laws to see if they can be legally owned. I can’t believe I have to even write that.

Glock 21
What in the world is this guy thinking recommending a Glock 21? Well I’m not a big fan of glocks (I love my Ruger .45) but this is a gun commonly carried by police and many, many others. The parts are and will be widely available, clips are readily available and the same for ammunition.
Pros:
– Serious stopping power
– At medium ranges you can spray a large target almost guaranting that serious damage will be done
– Easy to get a hold of the ammunition
– Parts are readily and widely available
– High capacity clips are available
– Corrosion resistant
– Non glare finish
– Semi Automatic
Cons:
– Cheap ammo can jam this gun
– Serious kick
– Rapid fire is not really possible due to the kick
– Can be hard to cock back
12 Gauge Shotgun
This is one of the most popular guns in America. It comes in two styles pump and semi-auto. The Remington Model 870 is the highest selling model today. It’s simple and very reliable.
Pros:
– The sound of chambering a clip is usually enough to scare off the average person cause they know the kind of damage it can do to ones body.
– At medium ranges you can spray a large target almost guaranting that serious damage will be done
– Rapid fire at ease
– Compared to most handguns or rifles the shotgun offers some serious stopping power
Cons:
– Reloading is generally a slow process and if you were just woken up it may be clumbersome
– Regular steel (most common) is prone to corrosion so go with a stainless steel model
– You must shoot with precision and know your target cause it causes a lot of damage (Apartment dwellers and those with a family should consider a different weapon)
– Limited range when compared to almost any rifle
.22 Calibre Rifle
First, don’t fall for the whole ‘a 22 can’t kill someone’ BS, a .22 rifle is very deadly when properly used, so treat it as such. The Marlin Model 60 is the world’s most popular .22 rifle.
Pros:
– The mist common rifle so ammunition and parts will always be easily accessible
– Ammunition is cheap and plentify
– Quiet and easy to suppress
– Generally a light weapon that is easy to carry
– Wide range of abilities

– Recoil is nonexistent
– Large amount of ammo can be stored in a small area
– Decent range of 50 or more yards
– Available in every type of configuration
– Ideal for killing and small game
Cons:
– Not the best choice for killing large game
– Less powerful than say a 12 Gauge Shotgun
– Short range when compared to most high powered rifles
– Less lead, ammunition is small
AK-47 or AR-15 Rifle
Don’t forget the ultimate bug out bag gun, the Kel-Tec SU-16. MSRP is $770 and it isn’t as accurate as an AK-47 but its foldable stock makes it easy to conceal and transport.

A note about the Kel Tec SU 16C. It’s at least as accurate as an AR, more accurate than an AK. Features like the built in bi-pod enhance accuracy, as does a scope. But the main way to improve accuracy is to go out and shoot the thing–a lot.
