Death chat begins......

Well I've had an AR (COLT AR15A3) for about 17 years now and THINK I have about 300-400 rounds through it. I just (within the last 6 months) bought the Weatheby PA and SA 459 TR shotguns in 20ga. Yeah 20. For where I am and My purposes the 20 will work fine. Plus it's lighter, recoils less and you can carry more rounds per weight than a 12ga. Handgun wise all the way from .22 to 45acp. (only NON SD is 357 though).

Not too shabby at all. Now we need to find you a a Gernade Launcher -- maybe even a Cruise missile
 
Oh and I forgot to say the Cruise missiles are buried under the house with Jimmy Hoffa.

IMHO bare minimum.....

Still need the standard 1911 and 357 in the hand gun catergory,

the shot guns I am comfy with,

as far as the rifles go .223/5.56 is a must have and I really want a 300 WinMag for all them varmits that just don't drop when you tell em' to.

Oh and a ASHBM and a Rodent Rucki for when I run out of bullets.

Actually there was a man murdered here over 20 years ago and they never found the body, just Lots and Lots of evidence he did not meet a natural death.
 
I have a Colt 1991A1 I had built up a bit.
Sig P220 (it was my duty weapon)
I used to have a Springfield Armory Ultra Compact V10 that I swapped off for my Weatherby SA shotgun.

Long guns I can deal with the 22, AR and 308.

The shottys of course handle the in between range.

I like the .308 much better than the 30-06, however the Elk here in Oregon don't agree, as they like to hang out in clear cuts just outside of the effective killing range of the .308. If I only needed vs 2 legged critters the .308 would be one of my top choices.
 
I don't have any long steel. But I an enamored of the Karambits as SD blades. Oh and I've got some Yard Dog Blades from 3 inches all the way to the 1311.
 
Here in Missouri the 308 works very well. Not sure about now, but back in my prime the ole 30-30 was pretty much king here in the Southeast part of the state.

1st Rat on the way (Rodent Solution)
next I be hittin' the Yard (1111) unless I decide to save up for the Rucki.
 
Well now wait a sec. I DO have a WWII Waki brought back from Okinawa and a cheapie Philippine knockoff of the Japanese Samurai sword and the Wakizashi.
 
I am a hoe-oar, I spent $40 bucks on 2 Kershaws on clearence at the local superstore that could have been thrown toward Busse or Kin.
