Okay, obviously neither is acceptable. It's a theoretical question that isn't expected to mirror reality, sort of a "which would you rather do, eat a tarantula or kiss Hillary" type of thing.
Given only those choices under penalty of death (or the aforementioned kiss?) I went awb because I lose less in theory there. An awb means I may keep my AK and lose the chance to buy another with underfolder, etc. etc. but I can still keep all the just-as-lethal goodies as well as my CHL. Losing the CHL disarms me worse, in other words.
Any disarming is unacceptable, I'm just saying I choose to eat the tarantula, given no other option.
