If you have carry it no one is going to have 3 guns unless one of them is a pocket pistol.
If you could only have three guns...

Guncrafter Industries Model 2 (.50 GI railed 1911)
CheyTac M200 (.408 CheyTac bolt-action)
MP7 (4.6x30mm machine pistol)
If I could have any 3, that is. Those are all a bit out of my price range, and the MP7 I'd need another permit for.

1) Remington 870 shotgun. Probably go with the mariner version, and have it painted black or gray.
2) Any other day I would say a 1911 in .45, but I bought a Ruger SR9 over the weekend, so I'm still infatuated with it, and can't really make up my mind. Either way, I think its a win.
3) I really like AK's, and I think 7.62x39 would be enough to deal with a lot of stuff, especially with a 12guage 870 backing up. That being said, I'm a dumb kid who does stupid things, and I want a gun that reflects that: Converted Saiga carbine chambered in 30-06, or an AR15 in 5.56, 5.45, or 7.62 with an additional 30-06 upper.
4) I would like to requisition/commandeer a shopping cart to carry around the AR15 uppers, spare mags, some spare shotgun barrels, and of course, one of the long guns while I carry the other.
5) I would also like to requisition/Shanghai a caravan to carry all the ammo. Camels would be preferable, but donkeys or other pack animals would suffice.
Note: I am not anticipating a SHTF scenario, this is just how I wish I could go to my college classes.

I don't know if it was mentioned what the purpose would be (SHTF or the last three you would get rid of, etc) but I'd have to say CZ75B, Remington 870, and AR15

30-06 upper for an AR or converted Saiga in the same? Good luck with that.

This thread is useless without statistics
in the form of every gun listed in bar graph
noting how many voted for it.
That would make a nice senior thesis.
Who wants to take it on?

OK, I can't remember if I've posted my top three here.
(There are so many threads like this one,
and I am too lazy to check every page.)
So statistics or not,
here are my current choices.
(Ask again next year.)
1) Marlin 336 in .30-30: Tried and true for a century.
Loaded for up for white tail or bear. Moose have been taken with it.
Loaded down for grouse or rabbit. (00 buck shot over a few grains of powder).
I prefer mine with a 16.5" barrel, suitable for dense woods, and a go to for HD.
Skinner peep sights, sling. Action smoothed myself.
If I could only have one, this would be it.
2) Marlin 39A in .22 (short, long, long rifle).
Also will have 16.5" barrel. (Mine still wears the full length,
but I don't need it. Will have it cut down.)
Good for small game (squirrel - especially squirrel - rabbit, birds ...),
great for plinking, teaching newbies how to shoot.
Lever action is fast, but encourages quality shots better than semiauto.
Set of Skinner peeps.
3) One of the following, depending on whether I'm urban or rural.
3a) Urban: SW airweight revolver in .38 spl +p. Could be 442, 642 or 637.
Worn in an OWB. (Yeah, they're pocket revolvers, but "pocket" doesnt' work for me.)
3b) Rural: SW or Ruger .357 mag in 3" or 4" barrel. Most likely mod 65 (current), 686 or GP100, but there are other choices, also.
3b also eats .38 spl, of course, which makes it all the more appealing.
In a rural setting, where one must deal with SD and game acquisition
(when carrying the .22 rifle for small game, never know when a deer might walk by),
the .357 mag/.38 combo in an OWB sounds good to me in Maine.
Admittedly, if I was in Alaska, I might think otherwise (like .44 mag).

My opinion has changed over the last few years. I need something to defend myself but I have come to the conclusion that I spend much more time shooting at the range and hunting and that self defense is much less likely. Obviously, what I choose needs to be able to do both but I give an edge to the hunting and range shooting. Here's my list.
1. A lever action rifle in 30-30. I just love lever actions. They are fun to shoot, lightweight to carry for hunting, and have adequate ammo capacity for hunting and self defense if needed.
2. Though not my favorite, I would say an Springfield XD in 45 ACP with the 4" barrel. Lightweight enough for CCW, good (though not perfect) back up for hunting or self defense, decent ammo capacity.
3. Mossberg 500 with two barrels. Clays, hunting, and home defense taken care of. I like the location of the safety. I have no issues for those who like Rem 870s better.
If I then had to go to a fourth weapon, I'd be torn between a bolt action in 30-06 and a 22 LR lever gun. I'd probably opt for the 22.
