What TWO guns would you want more than any other...

[MossRoad]

It's not so much that I don't like them, they just terrify me. .ive killed 17 this year, my wife killed 8 and my mom got three. My dogs also got three in their yard. Over half where poisonous. They show up in the spring and go away when winter hits. I know four people that where bit this year by copperheads or water moccasins. One of my dogs has been bit twice by copper heads. One of the friends bit was four years old and his parents didn't know for over a week if he would lose his hand.

YIKES!!! Sounds like a horror movie plot! I'd carry a gun for that reason, too, I suppose.

A Browning semi auto 12 gauge & a good shooting bolt action rifle in 300WM. Nothing I can't hunt with those two.

If I asked you "what TWO tools would you want more than any other..." what would your response be?

IMO it comes down to what you want to use the tool for...

That said, the purpose for the use of the tool wasn't given per the OP's question.

I don't think we can narrow down to only two tools. I consider guns tools as well. And there are different categories of tools. Hammers, screwdrivers, wrenches, guns, saws, etc....

Personally, if I could only have two tools, I'd take a good AX and a good knife, or maybe a leatherman tool(but that's cheating).

But two tools I want more than any other right now, I don't know. I have a lot of tools now. I'd like a plasma cutter. And a good bench grinder. Mine died.

As I mentioned before, two guns I'd like right now are a three barrel drilling in 12ga, 22 magnum, 30-06, and a .357 revolver.

If it were "you can only have two guns", I'd assume that meant self defense. I don't think there'll be much hunting in that situation, as 1, it gives away your position and 2, the woods will be hunted out in a year anyway if people think they're gonna rely on wild game to survive. Then I'd pick a 12ga Remington 870 shotgun combo as those are so versatile and parts are plenty, and I'd probably get something like an AR10 with an 18" barrel in .308.

Which is a "Bockdrilling", with the bbls., as they were configured in your original post...

Mine is a "Drilling" as configured in my original post...

It's kind of interesting that the question was "What TWO guns would you want more than any other..." and the discussion quickly turned to survivalist mode. I didn't take the question that way. I took it to mean what would you WANT, not what would you NEED. Interesting discussion, though.

I suppose I have been married too long; if I came home with a new gun, I can hear Sharn Jean now: "What do you need that thing for? Don't you have enough guns as it is?" So...I tend to think in terms of "need" rather than "want".

True story. I was in a gun shop the other day, looking at his array of handguns, and I made the comment that I wouldn't mind having a certain pistol he had in the case, but that I really didn't really need it. He said "What does need have to do with it? It's what you want that really matters". I said: "Are you married? If so, you should understand the difference". He laughed, and told me this story: He said he was talking to a customer about his inventory of used handguns, and he told the customer that whenever he took in a used handgun that he liked, he would take it home and put it in his gun safe. Unbeknownst to him, his wife was in the next room an over heard this conversation. He said the next day he had to bring something like 45 handguns back and put them in the case.

I would also assume if we are talking only two guns it means the SHTF and you have to bug out. I would want an "Assault rifle" and a pistol.

If I owned a gun, it would be an HK mark23, simply the best handgun ever made....

I worked on the east coast for years surrounded by anti-gun people. One of the more arrogant people asked me why I owned so many guns. I knew he was a serious golfer and asked him why he carried 13 clubs in his bag. Discussion over.

I dunno...It'd be a toss up between my Savage 92FS bolt action .17HMR, The CZ 455 .17HMR, or my custom built AR-15 chambered in .223 wild, and my Ruger GP100 .357 MAG stainless 6" barrel. I also like the reliability of my Sig Sauer P220 .45, but I can't seem to hit **** with it if I'm not closer than 20 meters.

Every time I read something like that, I once again am so glad I married who I did!

If/when I came home with a new gun, my wife likes to see it, and would like to shoot it...

She has been bugging me to buy an AR for a long time, but I'm the one who says "we really don't need it"... lol Same with any other tools I buy...

I'm dealing on another tractor right now, she has no problem with it at all. She knows I buy wisely, so she has no problem at all with what I buy.
