Hmmmm :::thinkin real hard:::
AK74 in 5.56x45
Remington 870 (1960's) 12ga set up for patrol use, 20" barrel, 8-round tube, tritium peep/front sights
.357 N-frame Smith 5"-6" barrel. (Would settle for a similar Redhawk, albeit somewhat reluctantly)
More than likely tho, an AR15 Colt Mforgery, (in spite of the fact that I STILL (gut-level) seriously distrust the Stoner rifles, a CAR15 failed on me years ago)... they are ubiquitous here in the States with lotsa parts etc.
870 shotgun, Might take that 870 in 20ga these days... the 20 ga ammo is getting better, and my old shoulder, victim of a long ago bike accident, isn't.
Pistol- 9mm Glock 19-5... also ubiquitous with many after-market parts, and reputed to be as sturdy a piece of plastic and metal one is likely to find. It will certainly outlast me, all things being equal. Heck, even the tritiums will outlast me...
I know it's cheating, but my BLR .308 deer rifle would be useful too, and my 10-22. Have owned both for years and they have served well.
As much as I like my FAL (a lot), the combined weight of the weapon and ammo mitigates against lugging one around for very long. Same with my H&K.. Actually sold my M1A cuz the money offered was more than I could bear, kinda regret having done that, even so... I've retired (safe-queened) my much-beloved Combat Commander for similar reasons.
SOOOO.... IF shtf in the time I have left, I can defend my Old Woman and go out in a Blaze O' Glory should that be my Fate.
