Everyone should have a:

few cold beers now and then.

 

[rojocorsa]

If we are going to talk about knives though, I say the Buck Model 110.

 

[weisse52]

1) 1911 (Colt 1911a1 works just fine)
2) S&W .38 or .357 (K frame / N frame)
3) Ruger MKII .22 auto
4) .22 rifle (Ruger 10/22 works just fine)
5) Remington 870 (Wingmaster)

And of course a CCP

 

[ShowMeState1977]

IMO:

Every man should have a:

A shotgun
A .22 rifle for small game
A 30-30 for medium/large game
An AK-47/AR-15 (with the knowledge on how to run both) for the upcoming revolution. Don't play like you don't know it's coming.
A combat handgun (full size semi-auto)
A CCW handgun
The testicular fortitude to go from calm to hostile at the drop of a hat, when needed.

Everything else is gravy.

.22LR bolt rifle.

 

[ThrottleJockey]

Really good sense of humor.....for those times when a gun just won't do.

 

[LibShooter]

Everyone should have a:

.22 rifle

.22 pistol or revolver

Plenty of cheap ammo.

A safe place nearby to shoot.

A "gunshy" friend to take shooting and show how enjoyable firearms can be.

Another convert to our cause.

 

[Texpatriate]

AR-15 or AK-47 clone of some kind or another. Take your pick, but get one. It's a subversive political statement sticking it to "the man".

 

[BENELLIMONTE]

My choices include: SigArms (Hammerli)Trailside .22 caliber pistol, Chris Reeve "Skinner" knife (or any other knife made by him), Tikka T3 Lite Hunter .270 Win., and finally for my primary large bore side arm it would be a toss up between my Les Baer Concept 2 1911 or my S & W Scandium 1911 Commander model.

 

[NotSoFast]

A pulse and at least a shred of common sense.

 

[RP88]

guns:
-a rifle that can do anything
-a pistol that can do what you need when you don't have a rifle
-a shotgun that can do tenfold what your pistol can do within 60 feet

gun-related:
-grasp of history
-safety/common sense
-lot of money to devote to training, practice, and the fun that your hobby will consume

... well-honed brain to realize when you're being duped, and a pair to do something about it.

[Adam2340]

an M1 Garand and an understanding of its history.

 

[D-Day]

Battle rifle. FAL, M14/M1A, HK91, M1 Garand, etc.

 

[CoRoMo]

- 5 year plan... or was this supposed to be gun related?

Floppy,
I went and got the sandwich.
Dr. Winslow,
I will second your post.
I think we all need a good handgun in caliber large enough to penetrate clothing and still get the vitals. See Model 10 above.
.22 LR rifle/pistol/whatever.
Shotgun (pick one, they are all good enough)
Rifle big enough for wild game in the area you live in. If you live where the biggest wild animal is a whitetail, it can be anything, but if you live in big bear territory, you need more rifle.
Now, you need to spend more time behind the rifle and pistol than you have sitting here posting.

BAR, 10 spare mags and 5,000 mixed rounds of ball, tracer, AP and API.

 

[pharmer]

A really good knife, a Leatherman tool, a metal cup and bowl, and waterproof matches. Guns are nice, but they must be fed and cared for. Joe

 

[offthepaper]

A cowboy gun. And a cowgirl to take shooting in the sunset.

Thank you..

My original response was going to be:

"Whatever the heck he wants, now get out of his business"
but a chance to live free is a good response as well.
