Well, I don't know about you guys, but in my case. I try keep a good stock of every caliber I shoot. I can honetly say I can't think of a firearm that I don't have at least 250 rounds on hand for.

As for what two would I choose if I could only take 2? Hard choice. Probably one of the old mosin nagant 91/30's and my little .22 marlin. It isn't a big game gun, but you can drop 500 rounds of ammo in to a couple of pockets if you have to, it may not be a primary SD weapon, but it will keep small game on your plate with the best of them.

In a more realistic situation, I would suggest that families band together. In which case a long gun for every adult would be a minimum of 4. In that case I would suggest at least one person have a 12ga, and another have an sks/ak type rifle with a hi cap mag on it.

In any event, I would much rather shelter in place, as long as possible, and hook up with a few people know who can be trusted.
Then wait till most everything on the road has stopped moving. Gas up the vehicles from my small fuel reserve and head for my wifes parents up in the hills.
