    Lever Action Rifles/Carbines, 30-30 and higher. For Mule Deer I've been using my 1947 Winchester Model 94 in .30 WCF. For convenience, the .357 carbines and rifles allow for the same ammo as the iron on your hip, and makes for a nice defensive combination. For even larger critters than two-legged, I use my Marlin Guide Gun in .45-70.

    I refuse to answer the question, as for me it would be a step too far in government oppression.

    I WILL NEVER give up the best tools that I have to protect my life from the government. But I would Sun Tzu the hell out of the situation, if I had no choice. Real tools get lost, this of course would include mags and ammo. I would then use a bolt gun for the range.

    That is if my options due to circumstance beyond my control, kept me from doing the correct thing at that tragic point in time.

    If I wasn't restricted in what I could do then my options are fight or flight like ever creature suddenly put in harms way. If gun owners raised up in mass, then I would join the fight. But if gun owners just turned in their guns, then I would choose flight.

    The Czech republic is adding gun rights at this time. Other places in the world you can get all the rights you can afford to pay for if you have no other choice.

    ~Rightful liberty is unobstructed action according to our will within limits drawn around us by the equal rights of others. I do not add 'within the limits of the law' because law is often but the tyrant's will, and always so when it violates the rights of the individual.

    I voted for lever action, but is this considered a semi-auto?

    Wonder how long it would take Remington to revive the 7615: https://modernfirearms.net/en/civili...gton-7615-eng/

    or the 7600P: http://armusa.com/RemingtonModel7600P_Page.htm

    Every Communist must grasp the truth. Political power grows out of the barrel of a gun. Our principle is that the Party commands the gun, and the gun must never be allowed to command the Party Mao Zedong, 6 November, 1938 - speech to the Communist Patry of China's sixth Central Committee

    Thuddy- thuddy levergun with an LPVO. A .357 levergun with a light and Aimpoint. A .357 levergun with good irons. Some .357 revolvers. An 870 and a double. Some mausers. I already have most of these configurations, but in hipster calibers, so I will have to replace them if I want to keep shooting as much as I do. I’ll have to get more non-556 cans. And some that can do .357.

    Might consider CCW with two single action six shooters.

    I would simply default to my NFA machine guns, SBRs and such. Those will be the last items they mess with. Makes that $200 upgrade from a pistol brace an easy choice.
    It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
