1. A nice 30 round capable rifle (maybe SBR'd or Suppressed if you're so inclined)

2. A nice semi-auto Shotgun (pump if you're on the cheap)

3. A nice fullsized home defense only pistol

4. A compact/full size OWB double stack for conceal carry.

5. A single stack 9/40/45 or Jframe for those days where weight is a concern.

6. A pocket carry pistol like the LCP, for pretty days at the town social

Then double or triple that for the old "one is none" rule of thumb.


Sure some folks may try and combine 3,4,5 and 6 but why would you....choices are what America is all about.

Some would argue you need a defensive bolt action for when times are tough but I don't subscribe to that kind of thinking.
