I've been researching buying some sort of weapon to help get me through some sort of apocalyse or social collapse here in new york city.  I'm pretty freaked out by guns but i imagine a gun will be next to impossible to find after the apocalype and anyone who has one will not likely give it up.  So i am looking into puchasing some sort fo weapon now to be prepared for later.

I plan to lead a rag tag group of survivors out of the 5 buroughs and start a utopian society somewhere in upstate new york, but obviously there will be alot of obsticles to overcome.  I think a gun or weapon wil help with the overcoming of several of them.

So some thoughts from online friends:

"get a shotgun, it's also good against zombies"

"laser gun" (rejected because it is a weapon from the 'troubled times' which my utopia rejects)

"rubberband gun,proximity mines" ( a confused mind)

"sniper's rifle" ".308 rifle with a scope" "Recruit a sniper early on" (I am rejecting all sniper applications atm)

"AK-47"

"12 gague. two of them. the 240 and a tradidional double barrel. some people prefer over/under to side by side. pistol. 9mm" ( I will not be crossing into this persons territorial fiefdom)

"mossberg 590, 12ga shotgun, military model"

"caulk gun" "BFG-9000" (we know where comedians will be in the post apocalyse, right?)

"Uzi" (since the 80's are over i think 'uzi' is out of business)

alot of thought was also given to getting ammo. this is a good idea I think, but I also think I will probably just 'wave' this weapon around alot more than actually use it. crossbow came up in realtionshiop to this but i'm neither robin hood nor batman so no crossbow.
