I’m really bored tonight so here is another question, what are your areas of expertise? I am not a great gun guy. in school people always come up to me and ask questions about some fancy rifle and i just shrug and tell em i own 2 rifles, a .22 and a 280 remmy. I consider myself an excellent tracker, a decent survivalist (i am not sure what the correct name is) and a pretty fair shotgun shooter. what about you? tracking? target shooting? all around?
My cat is threatening me. She pulled a gun yesterday as I was cleaning her litterbox and forced me into the basement before locking me in. I hear the sound of cats partying upstairs, but I can’t get the door open. I am fast running out of food. Help. The only thing down here is a computer.
Thank you for all the advice. As it turns out, I was able to tunnel out of the basement after a week or two by digging with my hands; I came out in my neighbor’s living room, but after I explained the situation they were happy to provide me with napalm & grenades to retake my house. I kicked down the door and took them by surprise–everything is back to normal now, except that I changed the locks on the gun cabinet and now habitually wear Kevlar when changing the cat litter. Thanks again!
I’ve been thinking of putting together a ‘survivalist’ kit lately. Not paranoid, but why not?
Along with learning some essentials (reading a book), keeping some supplies in the house, I was thinking about guns.
I DO have my 9mm for home protection, but I was thinking of getting either a shotgun or .22 lr to stow away just in case.
So my question is to people that know more than myself.
If you were to choose between the two, what would you have besides the home protection hand gun?
A shotgun or a .22?
In particular, I was looking at either a Remington 870 or the Ruger 1022. I’m DEF on a budget.
Opinions?
I realize it’s both are the correct answer.
I was thinking if you had ONE to stick in the back of the closet, more for a survivalist scenario than an urban one. I have the CZ75 for home protection.
I was just looking to putting together a good emergency kit.
Bit of an odd question, but please bear with me…
I am a bit of an armchair survivalist. Despite an annoying desk job, I have a well equipped bug-out-bag packed in my basement. Every time there is a severe storm coming, I am ready to live without power for about 3 weeks. I basically live a typical suburban life while secretly waiting for the apocalypse so that I can live in a debris hut and hunt and gather for my family. Ridiculous, I know, but I am what I am.
In light of all this, I am looking to make a single lifetime purchase of a pellet gun. From my survivalist perspective, some ideal characteristics would be:
It would probably need to be a break barrel – it can’t have any consumable inputs since I don’t plan to buy a lifetime supply of CO2 cartridges. I also don’t plan to buy a lifetime supply of bullets or gunpowder – thus the need for a pellet gun (I could however see myself buying a few thousand pellets just to have around).
It would have to effectively take down small game. In my area, there is pretty much only small game, aside from a few coyotes that I would never mess with. Thus I would need a gun that could take down the rabbits, pheasant, partridge, etc., that would be fair game in a survival situation.
It would have to be durable, and maintenance free – if I am being the Davey Crocket of my apocalypse I don’t want everyone in my family to starve due to a broken spring.
Again, I know this is a bit over the top, but I plan to get a great pellet gun and your advice/input would be greatly appreciated.

Now that a new “smoking gun” report was just annonced and will be released by 600 scientists (and reviewed by 600 more scientists and edited by bureaucrats from 154 countries) that says global warming does exist and presents a major problem for the entire world’s population — do you still deny that it exists and is a major problem?
And now that the CEOs of ten major American corporations (including Alcoa, BP America, DuPont, Caterpillar, General Electric, and Duke Energy) have declared global warming to be a major problem that requires the federal government to issue mandatory reductions in climate-changing pollution — do you still deny that global warming exists and is a major problem?
And now that the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists has moved the “doomsday clock” forward two minutes, declaring that “dangers posed by climate change are nearly as dire as those posed by nuclear weapons” — do you still deny that global warming exists and is a major problem?
Well, do you?

Wow, Cheryl, you really like to twist words, don’t you. I never said only 1,200 scientists believe that global warming exists. I said 1,200 scientists worked on the report. How many studies have that many scientists participating? I bet you could count them on one hand. You’re in denial, lady, and your descendents will pay the price.
Scot — so you don’t care, because if it exists, it’s too big of a problem to solve, is that it? Great attitude, Scotty. You must be a real go-getter and motivator.
