Honesty is the best policy and all that

Don't talk to me or my son ever again.

my current kit as a 22 year old college student 11B

While I love guns, I can’t afford to buy large quantities of them (or tons of ammo for that matter). I really don’t imagine myself surviving multiple gunfights or engaging attackers much if SHTF either. I’m focusing the bulk of my prepping and finances on food and water right now, so I’m really trying to consolidate my calibers to just 3 that I think would cover my bases. I have two goals: self defense and hunting medium to large game (deer, hogs, rabbits, squirrels). 

What I have: 

1. 12 gauge shotgun
2. AR-15
3. 9 mm handgun 
4. 22 LE

What I think will suit my needs best: 

1. 308 rifle (hunting and defense) 
2. 22 LR (hunting) 
3. 9 mm handgun (defense) 

I essentially just can’t see what I’ll use an AR-15 or a shotgun for. I live in the suburbs. If shit were to hit the fan, the first thing I’d grab would be my handgun. It’s reliable, I’m well-trained with it, and it is easily concealable. In the event of a crisis, I have no plans to walk around the streets or to go out in public with an AR15 or a shotgun slung over my shoulder and make myself a target. I’d much rather have a concealed handgun as my primary defense weapon. This essentially eliminates my desire for the AR15 which isn’t really optimal for hunting big or small game as is really intended primarily for self-defense. 

In the event of a home invasion, I guess the shotgun could be of use, but I’d still rather grab my handgun. The shotgun is an 18 inch gun tactical Mossberg, so it wouldn’t really be of much use to me for hunting. I also have narrow hallways in my house which would not making the shotgun my first choice for a home invasion. 

The way I see it is that my 22 LR will allow me to hunt any small game I want short of birds. The 308 rifle can serve me perfectly for medium-large game hunting as well as some rare defense scenarios. And the handgun can be my main defense weapon in urban areas. 

I’m debating selling my AR15 and my shotgun as I really just can’t see myself using them for much. I already have the handgun and the 22 rifle. All I need now is the 308. And I can use the money from the AR15 and the shotgun to cover it. 

Any thoughts? Recommendations?  

PS: Many might say I don’t need a 308 for hunting since I live in the suburbs. However, I have numerous friends within a 2 hour drive that all own land and have invited me to come out and hunt deer and hogs. I really think the 308 would help me tremendously in the long run due to this.

Can I get some advice on consolidating calibers?

**Ok so lets Preface, I have multiple Rifles, I also have multiple Pistols and an SBR.** 

That said, I was thinking am I going to walk around shooting Squirrels Turkey's, small game with an Ar-15 / Mini 14, Ak, 308, 300 Black out etc? And if I did I would have to carry Ear pro, nobody is shooting AK 47 without Ear pro to kill small game and liking it. Definitely not going to hear for 30 mins!

&amp;#x200B;

So let us discuss some Pros and Cons of the 22LR...

**Pros**

1. Light Weight
2. Cheap Ammo
3. Doesn't need ear Pro, very quiet
4. Very Accurate, I personally can hit 100 yard targets Iron Sighted.
5. Can Kill larger game ( although unlikely )

======================================================

**Cons**

1. Very little stopping power!
2. Bullets have lower energy and are much more effected by weather, ambient temperature, rain!
3. Not very much Penetration whatsoever, unless you hit great shots, many will not penetrate deep at all.

&amp;#x200B;

Ok thats what I got you guys can add more or tell me I am wrong whatever, I have a Henry 22lr Lever Action, and at the range I got to wondering what would I need a Rifle for?

1. Defending an encampment?
2. Defending my home?
3. Long Ranged Shots?
4. Hunting?

I started to consider, if I were in a SHTF I think the 22lr would meet most my needs, I would not need ear pro, I could carry 20-30 rounds in a ziploc bag or my pocket they are so tiny, I could defend myself against anything Coyote sized or smaller, and I could hit targets easily from 0-100 yards.

Would I need an Ar-15 walking around foraging, cutting wood, picking berries?

Could the 22lr as I have mentioned do all of my task enough to have it as my primary weapon? Sure until someone with a bigger gun comes barking, but wouldn't we have a back up?

Who's wasting 7.62 rounds on Squirrels? What are they $0.70 cents around now?

I am not here to suggest just buy 22LR Rifles, I am only asking do we really need an abundance of rifles, I think the 22LR lever actions does all my daily tasks, and the Ar-15 can remain hidden as the War Rifle?

What are your thoughts?

Serious Discussion ~ can a 22LR be the all around Rifle for ( Most Needs ) ?

A LGS has a new MCX Virtus for $2100. Can you guys tell me why the ar15 is a better shtf choice so I don’t spend money I don’t have.

 Semi-autos soak up recoil better but don’t do well with low brass or breaching rounds.

I got a Glock 19 last summer for edc and have been carrying it daily. I am new to prepping (in my 20s) and was going to start the process of getting more firearms. What order should I get them in? I was thinking an AR, then shotgun, then a .22, then a bolt gun in a larger caliber before more handguns and ARs. Is this a good idea? Or should I go for a different approach.

You get 5 guns in 3 calibers for the rest of eternity. For both you and your loved ones. What's your pick?

For the last year or so I've been wanting to buy a SHTF rifle, specifically a WK180-C (Canadian semi-auto .223 similar to ar-15.  Stupid Canadian gun ban!) 

After running the numbers I realized that if I bought the WK I just couldn't afford to shoot it that much. The gun, optic, magazines, and accessories add up pretty quick! 

I've had my Ruger 10/22 for 10 years. I love it and I shoot well with it. I realized that in a SHTF situation I wouldn't want anything else. I decided to spend my money on a couple extra mags, a bunch of 22 rounds, and more practical preps like food and water. 


Obviously there are downsides, but I know lots of folks would agree that a .22LR is actually a solid SHTF rifle. 
Here's a couple of my points where my 10/22 would actually be better as my main rifle:

Cheap ammo:
- More training
- Larger stockpile
- Can buy more at once (hedge against inconsistent supply)


Weight and size: 
- Can carry more magazines and ammo with less fatigue
- Better for bugging out 
- Ammo is easy to store

Hunting:
- Small game needs a small caliber
- Well placed .22LR could still take down larger game if totally necessary
- Relatively quiet


Essentially, I'm posting to remind myself and others that we don't need to spend a bunch of money on a new toy. We need ammo for the rifle we have and shoot the crap out of it! 

TLDR; .22LR isn't a bad choice for SHTF. And considering most folks, like me, don't have cash to spare, it's perfect for many of us.
