The first thing I would recommend is purchasing and registering a handgun and a rifle as well as acquiring a concealed weapons permit for your local area. If you cannot acquire a concealed I would suggest you move because it would seem that you are surrounded by armed criminals 
With a concealed you can guarantee that if the shit hits the fan you will at least be armed with a handgun.
Get a secure armored safe for your house and fill it with ammo and food. I would suggest dried rations Very bland but can be stored forever and a day.
Maybe a motion flashlight or two. First aid supplies.
The weapon is of utmost importance however.
List some goodies you might take or might suggest.... |
Don't take this post wrong Dy as I have a hell of a lot of respect for you...
As someone who was a trained Survival instrutor and worked at it for a few years (thou many years ago), I find your logic truely flawed...
The greatest weapon you can ever have is a sharp and trained mind. You ask any Survivalist worth their salt and they will all tell you a weapon don't mean shit if you haven't got a brain first.
You seem to be talking about a 'typical' movie scenario that America loves to spew out all the time where the almighty gun rules above all...
But tell me, where would your gun be if you where in a plane crash in the middle of a desert?
What use would your gun be if you where stuck in a cable car 10,000 feet up a mountain?
How's a gun going to help you breathe if you where trapped in a submerged train car with icy watrer rushing in?
All possible scenario's.
It's a sharp mind that survives, not those with the biggest gun. Unfortunately it tends to be those with the dullest minds that reach for the gun first...
