The ONE gun for SHTF

[TFOGGER]

Let me know how that works for you.. .45/70- .458 dia. .45LC- .452 dia.

Maybe load up Minies in pure lead? then the base might expand to engage the rifling?

Gun confiscation is a major concern of mine... I want something nice and compact. andI would carry it in a non tactical case...

If I had to carry one of my own guns I would probably carry my left side folding ak-47

If I could have any gun it would be a "krink" or similar SBR ak-74 and I would pretend it was an MP5

I chose the Semi Auto .22 but upon more thought that would be more for TEOTWAWKI. In a SHTF situation I would go with my 1300 Defender due to sheer stopping power in a variety of situations. The reason I would take the 22 in a TEOTWAWKI situation is the ability to carry a lot of ammo for it. SHTF lasts maybe a month? TEOTWAWKI is much longer (permanent?) so having the ability to carry, in my estimation, 10 times the ammo vs 12ga is the deciding factor for me.
