Goon I do hear what you are saying. I think in 98% of situations a bolt action will get you through. If it was total anarchy which probably won't happen all at once, there will be warning signs. If your up against an armed mob with bad intent its not going to matter even if you had an M60.
A rifle in a common caliber makes the most sense be it a bolt action or semi. My self here at the homestead its going to be one of the Enfields. I shoot them an average of 100 rounds a week sometimes a little more and have gotten to know them intimately. I have about six thousand rounds of loaded ammo and can make more if thats not enough. If I had to go out and about on any kind of a long trip or to another town I would take something in .308 or 06 just for ammo availability.
