With Guns Survival Can Be Assured

By Jeff Strickland


A lot of people, when guns are mentioned, think about them in very different ways. Some of them will think about collections they have seen or know about. These will include antiques or items pulled off of the enemy while they were in one of the wars. There are others who will think about other uses such as target practice and competitions.

The politics of gun grabbing will be brought up. Ideas about the modifying of their current guns to escape the controls that are always being set up to evade the Second Amendments rights they have are discussed as well. Following the regulations will also assist hem in buying weapons before they are banned from the public square.

Information about the imminent survival needs of each member will be part of this discussion. One or more guns and what form they should take will be the most contentious issue. The final word, agreed to by all, will be that the preferences of everyone are to be respected and all bug out bags will have what is needed for survival if and when it comes to that.

Old military people will want to mention their favorite weapons, such as the M16 and the civilian model, the AK47. These have the stopping power and all of the accessories needed to handle just about any situation. They are easy to use, almost jam free, easy to break down and are light enough to carry with a helpful handle built right in. This is a common weapon to have and many people display them over their mantle or in the den.

The 45 caliber pistol they had on their hips probably had a role to play in their comments as well. This is an easy to break down model that has stopping power also. This model and other 45s will serve the purpose in just about any conflict where hand to hand combat is almost all but necessary.

Most people will want to have a 22 rifle on hand whether they are looking for firing practice or into survival planning. These have a large enough, economic bullet for killing small game animals and can injure if not stop all people this side of zombies. There are many different guns that will accept this round and a flexible system of protection will include several of them in the home or bunker.

A survey or poll was taken in June of 2013 and found that of all manufacturers available, five of them carried 88 percent of the vote. These were Glocks, Ruger, Springfield, the Taurus and those S and Ws. This says a lot about the popularity and the overall usability of these weapons.

Rifles such as the Mossbergs will present a definite price change over the more inexpensive ones. The Barrrett 50 BMG is part of this expensive club as well. The collectors who pick these up at many times the price of the less expensive ones will certainly have bragging rights. They do represent a sophisticated look to their owners all things being equal.

No matter where you stand on what weapons to have or how many, there is one that everyone wants to have. It is the one that makes the sound everyone knows and everyone is afraid of if they are in the wrong. That is the sound of a pump action shotgun and there is no mistaking the purpose for that sound.

The newbies in the discussion group will learn about a lot of different things. They will need guns for target practice and survival. They may need something for training on for the next competition or simply to have ready, just in case. No matter what the reasons, good or bad, they will gain an education from the established marksmen.

There are many places to get that education and all of it can start with that informal group. Finding a Federal Firearms Licensed dealer will bring into mind all of the rules and regulations. Talking with a few survivalists will also give that student a lesson in the nature of things as they stand in this political world of guns.
