I'm really surprised that most lists don't seem to have an EDC. The last gun to go would be my carry.
I guessing its because a large gun could be made to work for EDC. A small pocket gun is pretty much worthless for everything except EDC.
Gun sales support this.
I'd fill my needs first and worry about wants later. But that is me. My carry is a working gun. I consider it the most important gun I own because I use it every day. I believe every American should own a rifle but the reality is it doesn't get used much.but we are talking about some fantasy limited to 5...
If you only had 5 guns you would make something work for EDC not just make excuses..
Well, he did say go big-I think the GAU-8 qualifies there.What? No Mini-gun? Everyone needs an M134 ...

If you only had 5 guns you would make something work for EDC not just make excuses.. or buy something else.
With two more to add, I'd probably go with ...Looking at NIGHTLORD40K's typology, I'm a hunter. Here's my list:
I could be content having to "do it all" with three guns, but would rather add a few more, including a .22 rifle and a .22 handgun. But I'd give up the .22s before giving up one of my "big three."
- 12 gauge pump action with multiple barrels. Mine is a Mossberg 500 with a 26-inch vent rib barrel with removable chokes, a 24-inch rifled slug barrel with cantilever scope mount sporting a Leupold M8 4X, and an 18.5-inch cylinder barrel with rifle sights. Best all-purpose hunting/sporting/defense gun there is, IMHO.
- Bolt action rifle in an intermediate cartridge--anything built on the .308 case (.308, 7mm-08, .260, .243). My go-to hunting rifle for many years has been a Remington Model 7 in .308 with a Leupold Vari-X II 2-7X compact mounted in the conventional position. If I were starting over, I might opt for a .260 Rem instead of the .308, but I'm not parting with the .308 any time soon.
- 4-inch .357 magnum revolver ... or possibly .44 magnum if one reloads. Mine is a stainless Ruger GP100. With reloads across the full spectrum from mouse fart plinkers to full-house hunting loads, the .357 (or .44) is a great all-purpose handgun.
