Wonderful show!  Too bad it got cut. Guys, watch Firefly if you haven't.
I think, therefore I am armed.

No 22?
Pretending to be offended does not make you a good person.

Couldn't read the link for some reason.

Left to my own thinking, I believe I could get along with three:

Accurate scoped bolt .22 rifle, possibly a .22 Mag instead.

Twelve gauge shotgun, preferably pump, preferably with a variable choke, definitely with an ammo caddy, and possibly with a rifled extra barrel with sights.

Four to six inch, preferably six, .357 revolver with plenty of speed loaders.

With puh-lenty of ammo for each.

Absolutely forced to pick only one, it would be the shotgun.

With puh-lenty of ammo.

Including slugs.

So, given that I have five more choices, according to the original post, I'd opt for five more shotguns in case my neighbors decided to band together with me.

With puh-lenty of ammo for them.

Including slugs.

I do believe that the radical and crazy notion that the Founders meant what they said, is gradually soaking through the judicial system.

8 is too easy.

You can pretty much get almost anything you'd ever want with 8 choices.

To whittle if down to three or four would be hard.

My choices would be:
1) Remington 870 12 gauge
2) Arsenal SA-M7 7.62x39
3) Glock 17 9mm
4) Remington 700 .308
5) Ruger 10/22
6) LWRC M6 IC 5.56/.223
7) Benelli M2 12 gauge
8 ) Ruger GP100 .357/.38

I figure, all of these guns require minimal maintenance, are in common and easy to find calibers, and can do pretty much anything I'd ever need to do.

Your number one Option for Personal Security is a lifelong commitment to avoidance, deterrence, and de-escalation.

Someday someone may kill you with your own gun, but they should have to beat you to death with it because it is empty.

From your list, 1, 3, and 5.  On  my list, I already have those except for the rifled 12 ga barrel.  Shoulda bought one when they were US$89.00.

But them days are gone forever.

I currently have a few ARs, a couple of pistols (9 mm and 40 S&W) and a 308 bolt gun.  I would like to add the following:

1) 12 Ga Remington or Mossberg
2) AK 7.62x39 Arsenal

Maybe a revolver, a 45 ACP or a 22 lr rifle after that, but I would think the 12 Ga and AK would help cover all of my firearms needs.
