    Bug out - what firearm(s) & ammo do you grab?

    Just to get a discussion going-

    Everyone should have a bug-out bag in case something really bad happens and you have to leave the house right away. The content of that is a topic for a different forum. But, if you had to go, right now, what firearm(s) would you bring? (I'm assuming your bug-out bag doesn't have your full gun collection in it). Many folks have a lot of guns in the safe, do you just take your normal carry? A rifle also? A shotgun? Leave the collectible/NIB-never-shot items behind? What about ammo?

    9mm - 92 or CZ 85 pistol -- my 9mm carbine and a 22lr pistol.

    depends but I probably would not leave it all behind if hoards of maurading looters and rioters are a mile away. I would either stay on my street and send all my crap out to china township with my uncle to his place. Or take everything I have of value, computers, guns, money, watches, throw in SUV go to his house. Let house be insurance claim, but no reason to lose and extra 25k worth of stuff.

    I'm going to "bug in". I have food, shelter, water, my meds and everything else that I need. Where would I go? Join the rest of the idiots running around in the woods shooting at each other? Join the traffic jam on I-75? I used to backpack. I know what it's like to carry 40lbs + on my back for 10-12 miles a day. That's just water, food, tent, sleeping bag, water purifier and shell clothing. Guns and ammo would add at least another 10 pounds. Sorry, I'm going to sit in my recliner with my AR next to me and take a nap until/if the bad guys show up. I don't get my jollies thinking about society going to hell and Mad Maxing it. I'm too old and grown up.

    Assuming I wasn't going to make a stand at my house. I'd put the HK P30 9mm in my waistband and the USP45 Tactical in a drop leg. And all the ammo I could carry, at that point I can 'acquire' anything else I may need.

    I would bug in also.
    But I would load my 5.56mm, 9mm & 45 carbines and the pistols to go with them.

    My emergency 'go to' guns are planned to be one of the very accurate .22 rimfire rifles (probably the CZ 455), the Ruger MK IV pistol, and my old Remington 700 in .222 Remington.
    The 700 will place 3 shots in a dime at 300 yards, and I have thousands of rounds loaded for it. The two rimfires are also very accurate and reliable, and between the 3 of them I can carry a lot of ammo quite easily.
    In an emergency they will do just about anything that needs to be done, and will be able to do it quietly, if need be.
    Life is too serious to take too seriously.

    I generally agree with this ...minus the self serving holier than thou crap of course...most situations I’m staying put but if I have to leave it would be
    On foot, bicycle or motorcycle... czp07 , 22/45 and at pistol with folder, I can hide those on or about my person

    By truck,,,the above plus as much as I have time for
