Quick firearems overview

Pistols you carry on you when someone brings a fight to you-they allow you to fight your way to your rifle, which is much more accurate and powerful. You always have your pistol on you, or beside you within reach. Automatics are preferable over revolvers. You can always go to a gun show and find a Glock, or 1911 type. Also common are Browning Hi-Powers, Sig Sauers, and Smith & Wessons(last resort). Stick with 9mm, .40, and .45 auto calibers as they're cheap and common. Have extra magazines and ammo and practice shooting live ammo and dry fire/reloading.

Shotguns are good in a limited sense. Home defense and a car gun in a combat situation in moving vehicles, a spray of buckshot allows a greater margin for error. Riot type shotguns with the magazine going the full length of the barrel are preferable. Fit the weapon with rifle sights.

Rifles are the PREFERRED weapon to have in a gunfight. And the preferred type of rifle to have is one made to fight with in the first place. That means assault rifles that traitors in government have nightmares about. If you have the money, and being middle to upper class you should have the money, get a M-14. It's accurate, has a nice trigger pull, and shoots the hard hitting 7.62mm NATO round. It's also gonna cost you about 2,000 bucks to properly provide for it with extra magazines, ammo, and spare parts. It and it's ancestor, the 30-06 WW2 M-1 Garand are used in the Civilian Marksmanship Program. This course will teach you how to shoot and hit out to 1,000 yards(and how it's survived over the years is something of a miracle). Sign up and learn how to use a rifle in combat.

Second choice is the FN-FAL-it has a pistol grip, but it's sights and trigger are crappier. The HK-91 is the most reliable rifle of all, but has even crappier sights and trigger, is the most expensive, and it'll kick like a elephant gun. Stay away from the "clones" cobbled together from parts kits, unless you want to learn gunsmithing to get them running properly.

If you're broke or just cheap, war surplus bolt actions like the Enfield and the Mauser are cheap and ammo's currently plentiful-but look for .308 versions of these guns. You can buy several and have them to arm friends and others who tag along in a pinch.

Where to get these weapons? First, look around for any gun shows; you can buy privately without filling out federal forms that register you and your gun with the government. You'll get the widest variety of weapon and ammo selection at these weekend shows, plus good advice from folks who know what they're talking about.

If no shows are around you, or you're in need of a gun quick, you can look through the classifieds. Someone's always got something for sale, though it probably won't be what you're looking for.

A third option is to cruise garage sales and flea markets, but that's a crapshoot and your odds of getting ripped off if you don't know what you're doing go way the hell up.

Gun shops? Nice for buying ammo and getting your gun serviced, and they're the most reputable, but you'll have to sign that form and get registered with the government and have a background check. And why go through that if government's the problem in this country? You're only free with a gun when the government doesn't know you have one.

Having a gun is a great responsibility-it's your responsibility to never point the muzzle of your weapon at something you don't want to destroy. It's also your responsibility to become proficient in it's use. That means practicing marksmanship. Find someone who knows how to show you the basics. Also, get a bb gun and "plink" at targets in your backyard or hallway. It would also help if you took up paintball, which will teach you what combat's like. If you're able, sign up for one of the premium firearms academies like Gunsite, or Thunder Ranch.

Here are some resources for you to continue your quest for personal protection:

PALADIN PRESS-they have a large selection of books on firearms and how to use them-among other no-no topics like bomb making and guerilla warfare.

REVOLUTIONARY WAR VETERANS ORGANIZATION rwva.org This is a website run by "Fred" who's trying to promote old school rifle marksmanship; being able to shoot and hit with a service rifle out to 500 yards. The principals can be taught at 25 yards with a backstop.

SNIPER COUNTRY.COM-this is a knowledge base for those hungry enough to want to learn to shoot out to a thousand yards or more.

SUBGUNS.COM-another longtime message board. It's like being in a online version of one of those old gunshops. They'll answer any question about guns or government you got.
