well, you have to have a 9mm, and then a 40SW, and of course a 45acp, and a 38 or 44 revolver. perhaps a 22LR pistol too, and likely a second pistol of your preferred caliber (one to carry, one for the range).

and a hunting rifle (.30-06 is still popular, as well as 30-30), and a zombie rifle (.223/5.56mm), and a shotgun or two (one for ducks, one for thugs/deer), and likely a 22LR rifle too.

and that's just a starter set. (that's 11 by my count)

Gotta protect ourselves from those thuggish deer. You can always tell, they are the ones wearing bandanas and hanging out in the bad part of the forest.

Good friend of mine has a vault and has a class 3 license.. Needless to say, I’m headed to his place when the zombie apocalypse happens.

I think I'm going to buy my first gun this year.

Prior to that, I've relied on martial arts and generally being the biggest mother fucker in the crowd. I'm still kicking.

Get good training so you don't learn bad habits

You don't have to get quite as close with a firearm Plus, he could also be used as a hand held weapon if you run out of ammo

I will have 1st class training, and have no problem using an emptied gun as a hammer.

When I worked at the gunshop, I wanted to get a semi auto to carry. I was completely overwhelmed with all the choices.

I was discussing my dilemma with my friend Roger who owned the store. He patted his hip, then grabbed a Springfield Armory 1911-A1 in .45 acp and handed it to me.

This is what you want he said. A proven design and lots of extra parts available. As an added bonus, you can beat somebody with it, put another mag in it when you get time and it'll work just fine.

That's what I decided on.

Obviously you will pick what works and fits best for you

At one point, my brother was up around that number by himself. Serious.
I think he's back down in the double digits now.
