    I'm thinking my Glock 17. I have 2 factory issued 17 round mags with +2 plates and I have 2 OEM Glock 17 round mags I purchased later, and I have 2 33 round Glock 18 mags. I guess I would grab the glock, stuff the loaded mags in my bag with an extra box of 50 rounds. I doubt the extra ammo box is required, but it's small and not too heavy.

    I would be also carrying my handy-dandy CRKT M16-14ZSF and my Gerber as well as my Coleman tacticle LED light and a couple spare sets of AAA batteries.

    We have 4 of the Coleman LED lights from Wally-World, they are great for very cheap and have the flesh tearing tacticle bezel.... for under $20.

    I also stock chemicle light sticks, some would be coming in my bag.

    I have a couple AR's, but I would not want to travel 24 hours a day/night with 7-8 lbs hanging from my neck, and I bet it would invite confrontations that would otherwise be easily bypassed. And honestly, in that situation.... I would never have but one firearm. So in your hypothetical situation.... I do not exist. To be in a panick and to be grabbing supplies to bug-out the family in a dangerous situation, why open the safe and take one? If the situation allws you access to your dwelling to get 1 firearm.... grab 2 or grab 3. Grab a second bag and toss in water for the kids and you, toss in some sort of food/candy.

    It is an interesting question, but I can not think of a scenario that would allow me access to my dwelling to get my hands on 1 firearm without providing me access to all of them. I can carry 3 firearms and you would never suspect I had 1. I can carry 1 and have 4 or 5 total on me and yet you only see 1.

    My wife would most likely have her pistol, and my son would most likely grab his pistol... and he would be wanting to take his Rugar 10/22 as well.

    We would fare well against average thieves and the like, but we would be found wanton if faced with any trained fighters. The whole concept of actually bugging out the family is horrific, and honestly.... I can't imagine in our country ever being faced with something like this... short of it being some unexpected natural diesaster. In the case of a natural diesaster I imagine most Americans will be sticking together to help each other.

    Call me sheltered or whatever you wish, but I do not honestly expect to ever see foreign soldiers on my countries land, and I honestly do not ever expect to see my military attacking my countrymen. So whatever happens, I do expect that as a community we will prevail and overcome.... it is what we do best. We are all Americans. We win.

    1 gun?

    Hard question. I love my springfield XD9, and it has night sights, so that helps.

    I love my Beretta CX4 storm. TLR-1, VFG, and pressure pad on it.

    Or my LMT upper on my Essential Arms Dragon Engraved Lower (just built it tonight after I got the receiver back from the engraver). I have significantly more magazines for that gun than my XD, but it's a little heavy. I can shoot 20x better with it, but it is big.

    I think I'm going with my LMT/EA gun. I can throw the pressure switch/VFG/TLR-1 onto it right off the beretta and gain another 10rds and 300yd accuracy plus I've got the most ammo for it.

    glock 17.

    i can't see being able to walk around the semi-urban and urban areas with a rifle slung over over your shoulder without getting yourself shot/having the gun stolen (after being confronted by a local gang armed with many rifles)/etc.

    i would want to be able to be as invisible as possible. so, i want something i can conceal. something that needs very little maintenance. something that is ultra-reliable. something chambered in a very common round. so, glock 17 it is for me.
    I bet it would invite confrontations that would otherwise be easily bypassed.
    Ideally you wouldnt want to be noticed at all of course...but if i were im not sure i would want to appear unarmed(easy target).

    I would rather try to conceal my AR if needed than to be stuck with nothing but a handgun.

    You could always go "Without Remorse" style and cover it with junk in a shopping cart.

    either a M1A Scout or a side folder FAL w/ 16" barrel

    1. .308 has the knockdown power to protect from most 4 legged creatures and certainly the 2 legged ones.
    2. shorter for those urban areas.
