[with a slight transition from the "assault rifles" thread in the Politics sections]
With the thought in mind of defending a plot of land from a mob in the event of a civil unrest scenario, I've come to the conclusion that I need the following firearms:
1. Sidearm: Glock 17 or Glock 19 (short range defense and fall back when AR-15 jams)
2. Shotgun: 12-Gauge Shotgun (short to mid range defense, fallback if AR jams, and hunting)
3. Rifle: AR-15, M1, or M4 (Mid and Long range Defense, can be used for hunting too)
It just doesn't seem like I can get by with anything less then those three.
Possible additions would be a
1. A revolver for ultimate reliability (in the civil unrest scenario my glock might break a complex part that I can't fix myself).
2. A longer range rifle for defending a farm plot from an elevated/protected position
Thoughts?
As a side note, I'm less worried (not really worried at all now) about a civil unrest scenario then I was when we started talking about this, but still, it doesn't hurt to be prepared.

"Hamilton is really a Colossus to the anti republican party. Without numbers he is an host within himself. They have got themselves into a defile where they might be finished but too much security on the republican part will give time to his talents and indefatigableness to extricate them. We have had only middling performances to oppose to him. In truth when he comes forward there is nobody but yourself who can meet him. His adversaries having begun the attack he has the advantage of answering them and remains unanswered himself. For God's sake take up your pen and give a fundamental reply to Curtius and Camillas" - Thomas Jefferson to James Madison
