I know a few people who are content with just two guns. My brother, a vet has a Colt 1911 and (I am not sure of the model....) some sort of an M1 carbine and he sees no need for another gun.
Rifle (ar-15 for me) and mousegun (Ruger LCP for me).
Can't get through body armor, or reach out and touch someone at 2-300 yards reliably without a rifle. Can stop a threat with one in home (penetration argument be damned here,you said 2 not 3!) in a marginal compromise to a shotgun though.
Can't shoot your brother in law who went off his meds, you know the one in the Santa suit with an home made flame thrower at Christmas dinner, with the 1911 you felt strange wearing and left in the coat room. Can ruin the day of a person who rounds the corner to your room in the middle of the night at 20 feet with 7 rounds of 380 lobbed his way. If not that quickly needed, can grab your rifle.
Crap compromises of course. But my vote is mouse gun and rifle if only 2.
And oh yeah, talking "bugging out" TEOTWAWKI stuff, I would say AR-15 (if it can be carried out in plain sight, or you are in a vehicle, if not primary handgun) and a 22 pistol for hunting small game (ammo size, accessibility when you see game on the move vs a packed rifle, and noise).
If I wanted to primarily shoot flying birds or distant varmints or paper targets or big game, I might consider different preferences.
Not likely, though.
