Having The Right Guns At The Right Time Is Necessary

By Jeff Strickland


When the discussion turns to guns, everyone thinks about them in different ways. Many people will think about the collections they have. These will include antique weapons such as flintlocks, other muzzle loaders and pieces picked off of the enemy during the various wars the owner of the collection was involved in. Others think of more personal uses for these.

Many will be wanting to talk about the latest gun grabbing schemes masquerading as so called common sense gun control. They will want to ask about how to change the guns they do have to escape the definition established in the regulations. They want to be able to avoid the danger all gun owners have when going up against the never ending rules that are being put out.

Survival information about guns will, of course, be discussed. Debates about which are the best weapons to have and whether a multiple arsenal is the best policy. The difference between what is possible with pistols, rifles and other weaponry will also be hotly debated. This discussion will, in all likelihood, end with everyone agreeing to disagree on this and all bug out bags are appropriate for what each wants to do.

Former military personnel will talk about the weapons they had when they were in the field. The M-161a will figure in prominently and its cousin, the AK 47. These are 7.61 mm rounds that have the power to stop just about anything. They do have a tendency to jam, however, with proper maintenance they are very dependable. They are easy to break down and clean and parts are easy to get.

Some of those same military people will swear by the 45 they probably had on their hips. Equally as easy to break down and with a punch that everyone knows means business. This is a relatively heavy piece but will hold its own in any encounter. It can be hidden under a coat and will work with survivalists as well.

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.

The fact of the matter is that of all of the guns available, in June of 2013, a poll was taken and found that the ones that were the best for the money were the Glocks, the Rugers, Springfield, Taurus and S and W. Those five took up the top 88 percent of the votes of all weapons considered.

There are more expensive rifles as well. These would include the Mossbergs and Barretts, such as the 50 BMG. The rifles that have the large price tags can be used for the bragging rights they present. These are also for those collectors who are looking to put some heft in their collections.

The one weapon that everyone wants and does exactly what it is supposed to do in the shotgun. Regardless of what model you get or what you pay for it, it has a sound that is unlike any other. The clicking of a round going into place in a rifle or pistol makes a squiggly little sound. The sound of a pump action shotgun makes a statement. Everyone knows what that sound is and, if you are on the other side of the argument, it is not good.

All of the discussions about what types of guns, whether handgun or rifle, are helpful for the uninitiated into the world of weapon ownership. Regardless of whether the newbie needs something to fire away at targets or for survival, they can learn it from the well established gunman. Buying brand names or simply filling a checklist of certain types will be fun and educational.

Getting hold of a good Federal Firearms Licensed dealer will help you understand the laws concerning the acquisition of guns and related gear. Talking with some survivalists will help you gain knowledge about all of the rest of the world of gun ownership. Learning about your second amendment rights will fill in all of the empty gaps in that knowledge and open a world of experience and self defense.
