Yea good luck with that idea as you will most likely encounter, A. police or national guard units sent to secure the weapons and ammo, B. throngs of like minded individuals who instead of preparing have the idea they just 'pick up on items as they go', C. large amounts of zombies and terrified people running around the large public location, or D. all of the above. I vote D....as in Dumb idea, Doomed from the beginning, Deathtrap, etc. etc. etc.

In any emergency situation you want to be AWAY from the masses of population, not in the thick of them. MAHALO!!!

Id go look for Tom and ask him if he needed a hand wit his Fort.  My selling point would be my weapons list, ammunition stockpile, reloading equipment and components, and my willingness to secure the breath of every zombie that threatens our position.  LOL 

Depends on the zombie, some types dont breathe...

Wow, talk about raising the dead!

Tons, I've been slowly coming around to  the idea of a .22 as a zombie gun.  Just the sheer volume of ammunition a person can carry compared to a larger caliber makes it very appealing, assuming trauma from .22 rounds are enough to kill a zombie.  Add to the fact that there is little to no recoil, two or three follow up shots really isn't that much of a problem.  Plus, I just bought 5000+ .22lr rounds, so I'll be shooting it for a while. 

Does WalMart in the mainland have rifles? Man, that would be cool if our island WalMarts carried rifles.. Rifles, food, clothing, soap, toothpaste, electronics and a McDonalds!  I definitely would be flipping through the pages of my Bible wondering where the zombie part was........

I walked into Walmart to buy my first shotgun ever =p got a hamburger on the way out as well.

Antithesis, now that folks have been practicing marksmanship at these monthly rimfire matches, you see how easy it is to perch on a rooftop and make repeated hits out to one hundred yards. That might not seem far except in the close quarters of the city. Also, wear and tear on the shooter is nil.

Of course, the lethality is questionable, but I think that is the only issue.

Ps...walmart=deathtrap

Me and my co-workers have joked about a "zombieland" deal going down. We agreed that between LE/Military these were the three types of ammo that would be readily on hand. As for types of firearms, I'd run an AR type platform (spare parts galore off of M-16/M-4/ARs), a Remmy 870 (very common shotgun with an fantastic "guarnteed to work" pump action). Pistol is an in the air deal, have yet to see an HK/SIG/GLOCK/SW that failed to perform.

BTW, the .22 is an awsome concept that I've never put a lot of thought into. I gotta say a scoped 10/22 with a drum mag would be an excellent choice for portability, accuracy, and (most of all) abundance of ammo..

Can we get 10/22 drums in Hawaii?

As long as that magazine doesn't fit into an existing pistol! 

Can we get 10/22 drums in Hawaii?

Ah there in lies one of the many muddled paradoxes of Hawaii gun law.  Ruger makes the Charger which is a pistol version of the 10/22.  The Charger pistol is illegal here under the definition of an "assult pistol" (HRS §134-1).  Yet because the charger pistol exists, magazines in excess of ten rounds are also illegal because it is "capable" of being put into the Charger.  (HRS §134-8)  Same goes for any AK, AR or any other popular build that also has a pistol version offered commercially.  Nonetheless there are big box retailers like Sports Authority selling 25 round magazines for the 10/22 locally here in Hawaii... so it really is a gray area.    If I had a drum mag, I wouldn't bring it out in public until the zombies are already here and eating the neighbors.

Hawaii law not withstanding,   Container truck loads of RELIABLE  M-16s or equal.

All firearms should be test fired for reliability and function.  Also several container loads of reliable magazines and a boatload of HP ammo

All magazines should be loaded as should all firearms.

As in World War Zombie, LARGE open down sloping field with appropriate barbed wire to slow them down.  Terrain should be a bottleneck to slow zombies down en mass

Shooters in ranks as in Zulu,  trade empty guns for loaded ones, rear ranks just loading and exchanging empty gun with loaded guns.

Shooters changing places as necessary when front shooter get tired.  Rotating fresh shooter for tired.

Make provisions of not 100s of Zs but 100s of thousands.  Firearms MUST BE RELIABLE under Extended Rapid fire shooting conditions.

When Zs make it past the wire, no time to be loading magazines.  LOTS of extra COOLED down firearms and LOADED magazines MUST be

readily availible at hand.  Bayonets are NOT an option.

Zs MUST be stopped as far out as possible.

ONLY HEAD SHOTS count

If they get that close a sidearm to be considered that has caught my attention is the KelTec PMR-30.
   30 rounds of 22 mag

If it comes down to THAT, save the last few rounds for yourself and other non survivors.

Died with your Boots On.

My $0.02 =)

Ive a firm believer, Zombies, Riots, world Chaos.  Im going to stick with whats abundant in my area. That of course is the AR platform M4/M16. Parts and ammo are definitely much more accessible in addition that you may be able to strip them from "Others" (Military, Law enforcement).

Secondly, barricading is nice, but making sure your are is not so big area that you have to spend time checking each and every door to secure the area. In addition its unfortunate but the biggest error, is Human error, going to larger fortified areas will attract more people.  More people means Zombies will be attracted to that location. Humans make to many errors and having to baby sit each person to make sure they are doing everything they can for the group is almost impossible because once fight or flight happens only self preservation exist and they for get their duty to others. (That unless you are actually with trained people)

#1 fortify in a small condo area (masonry construction, small condos usually have only 1 entrance and are in city areas so acquiring things will be in easier distance then country), preferably walk up so as to barricade and not have to rely on electricity.
#2 As selfish as it be, travel in small packs. Large groups are great but the "Laws of Attraction" Zombies will follow
#3 Necessities necessities necessities.   Weapons, Food, Water and bug out bag "K.I.S.S" (Keep it simple stupid)
#4 Learn your enemy, gain any tactical advantage as possible.  Do the Zombies have a weakness....i.e. (Smell only, transmutes only through biting, airborne carrier, slow moving etc.)

As response to OP. 

Weapons wise, Simple M4 in my book seems to make sense to me.  10/22 is definitely something I did not think about thats making more and more sense though.  Simple side arm as back up 1911/92F. and of course something long as a last ditch effort. (Sword, Bat, large Knife) anything that doesnt rely on anything else but human means.

and luck....LOL  of course this is the tip of the iceberg especially if you 1 month to plan this out, if not this is what I have on the fly.  Cause Im looking for Tom G and telling him I can be an asset let me in LOL!

For the "where" I'd be. Sorry guys, but screw staying on land... I'm gonna go hi-jack me a yacht and bug out a couple miles off shore. Make sure I have enough throw net and fishing poles on hand. Water purification on board, with a bunch of can goods. Only go on land when you absolutely need to (IE: Fuel).

As far as I know, zombies no longer will have the motor control to swim after my boat. And if they do, they'll deffinently be shark bait by the time they get a few miles off shore. And if all else fails, pull up the anchor and move a few miles away from them...

(Another one of the scenarios me and the co-workers came up with...)

That's pretty much the exact same plan I have lol. I typed out this elaborate plan a few days ago to post here, and I realized....if there was 1-month warning....it's not going to be an apocalypse as everyone will be ready for it. It'll be like the tsunami we had where everyone was anticipating the end of the world, but nothing happened.

Heading to Kauai lol if there are zombies.  Much more rainfall, and better ocean area's for fishing. Less retards to fight off there too!

My goal is to actually  have about 10k rounds of .40 and .223 stocked up, as well as about 1000-2000 rounds of shotgun ammunition.

If I run out... well...  I know your guys plans .

No worries, I'll make room on the boat... But you gotta have either beer or babes with ya... 

According to book World War Z, they can function underwater. 

Remember they're dead and don't breath and can walk from one island to another.

Really have no Need for over powerful handgun when only Head shot count. 

Of course, having a Cat D9 or 3 may be a good idea to move bodies into mass graves

I got it! Just dress up like a zombie like Bill Murry did and you'll blend in.....classic just watch out for friendly fire..... You'll be the only zombie with a gun....
