GUNS/AMMO FOR CHRISTMAS AND HANUKKAH

My LIST FOR CHRISTMAS AND HANUKKAH THIS YEAR ARE VERY TIME APPROPRIATE.

GUNS AND AMMUNITION.  I WOULD RECOMMEND A MOSSBERG SHORT BARREL TWELVE GAUGE PUMP, DEFENDER TYPE SHOTGUN AND A REMINGTON MODEL 870 PUMP WITH A LONG BARREL.  ALL TWELVE GAUGE AMMO CAN BE USED IN BOTH SHOTGUNS.  I WOULD RECOMMEND OO BUCK SHOT FOR THE SHORT BARREL, NUMBER FOUR SHOT AND RIFLED SLUGS FOR THE LONGER BARREL.  MY REASONING FOR THESE TWO SHOTGUNS IS SIMPLY THAT I HAVE FOUND BOTH TO BE EXTREMELY RELIABLE, DURABLE, NOT TO PRICEY AND EASY TO PURCHASE AT THIS TIME.  I HAVE 1957 MODEL 870 THAT IS AS GOOD AS THE  CHRISTMAS DAY WHEN SANTA BROUGHT IT TO ME.

ONE MIGHT ALSO CONSIDER .22 CALIBER, TWO RIFLES. SEMI AUTO-MATIC, PUMP OR LEVER ACTION IS GOOD. ANY LONG TERM AMERICAN MANUFACTURE WOULD BE GOOD.  I HAVE A 1949 REMINGTON PUMP WHICH IS GREAT AND A SINGLE SHOT BUT VERY ACCURATE, HEAVY BARRELED, HIGHLY SCOPED GERMAN MADE ANSHUTZ.  A GOOD AMERICAN MADE .22 CALIBER PISTOL SEMI-AUTO COULD BE ADDED.  A RUGER MILITARY BULL BARREL, BROWNING.

AMMO FOR THE .22'S IS INEXPENSIVE AND EASILY PURCHASED IN VOLUME.

ADD TO THIS LIST A COUPLE OF HEAVIER CALIBER PISTOLS.  EVERY ONE HAS THEIR PREFERENCE AND THERE ARE MANY  FINE ONES TO COSES FROM.  I HAVE BARRETA 9MM SIMPLY BECAUSE THE SAME AMMO CAN BE USED IN MY MARLIN CAMP NINE RIFLE.

FOOD AND WATER: A MINIMUM OF TWO (2) WEEK SUPPLY IN A SECURE LOCATION.  CANNED GOODS (WITH SIMPLE CAN OPENER). ONE "BUG-OUT BAG" FOR EACH FAMILY MEMBER.  THIS WOULD BE 3 TO 5 DAY SUPPLY OF FREEZE DRIED FOOD SOME CANNED GOODS, SNACKS, WATER, CLOTHING WITH SWEATERS, JACKETS, FIRST AID SUPPLIES AND NECESSARY MEDICATIONS.  I INCLUDE ONE BOTTLE OF PEDIALITE IN EVERY BACKPACK.   THERE ARE SEVERAL BEREAK DOWN .22 RIFLES AVAIABLE, RUGER HAS A FAIRLY NEW ONE OUT.

ALL SIZES OF BATTERIES, LANTERNS, LANTERN FUEL, RADIO. LIGHTS.
