There are frequent gun board discussions of weapons for "SHTF" or "TEOTWAWKI."
The trend seems toward an infantry rifle - AR, AK, SKS, FAL - and a large supply of long shelf life packaged ammunition. Plus a sidearm and ammunition.
I have just wondered what situation is being prepared for.
Nuclear attack by Communist China or resurgent Russia?
Race riots when, as Fred On Everything said, the blacks and the latins fight it out for the inner cities?
Mass domestic terrorism by American and infiltrating Moslem Jihadists?
Opressive US government?
Ecological and social breakdown due to Anthropogenic Global Warming?
Please furnish scenarios being planned for under the SHTF heading.
Frankly, it sounds a lot like the Cold War Survivalist movement done on the cheap. The best I could tell, those people were arming and equipping to live after a nuclear exchange by banditry of people who actually had set back food, clothing, and shelter.
