I know that this is probably way out there but what if firearms where banned and then confiscated in the USA...would you hide 1 2 or 3 out for you personal defense if you really needed it...if so what would you pick...after a lot of thought I decided on a S&W model 66 with a 2.5 inch barrell...Marlin lever rifle in .357 and a SBS 12ga wiht a 18 inch barrell...I chose these because they are simple to maintain and use...I figured that a wheelgun better than a semi auto for long term storage...so I gave up my HK's and Sig to keep the revolver...same in my decision to give up my AR for a lever gun... a double barrell shotgun has almost no moving part so much better for long term storage than either an Auto or a pump like my 870 marine Magnum...now what would you hold out...I do not belive that this will ever happen in the USA but it is something to think about and play with
