Okay, there are a lot of knowledgeable folks on this forum and I’d love to hear your opinions. Suppose someone came to you and told you that they would like to defend themselves and their family. Assume this person lives in a state where concealed carry is an option and he or she is eligible for a permit. Assume they have a basic knowledge of revolvers, autoloaders, shotguns and rifles and can safely handle, maintain and shoot any of them and they will train regularly with the weapons they purchase. This person can free up about $1,000 a year for the next 3 years ($3,000 total) at most to purchase their defensive arsenal.
What types of handguns/long guns, edged weapons, O.C. spray, etc. would you advise them to get and in what order?
You can be as specific or as general as you want. Ammo doesn’t count toward the total. You don’t have to get out your calculators or Blue Books but if you could stay under the $1,000 a year (you don’t want our theoretical family to starve do you? ) that would be ideal.
Sample List:
1st year: For concealed carry: Concealable autoloader or revolver, Fox Labs O.C. Spray, quality folding knife (Benchmade, Kershaw, Spyderco, etc.)
For home defense: Pump action 12 gauge shotgun
2nd year: For concealed carry: Add night sights to concealable handgun, purchase BUG
Save the rest of the money for Year 3
3rd year: For homeland defense/SHTF scenarios: Black rifle (example: an AR 15 with some goodies)
