Looking at the shortages of ammo right now, and it's not quite TEOTWAWKN, gotta think long and hard about ammo choice when picking such a gun. .22lr suddenly gets attractive since it's cheap to stockpile and easy to transport, and widely available (usually), although perhaps not ideal for defending against 2 legged predators, or hunting game that would make more than a single pie.

If you are talking more than 50 yards or so, chances are you are the predator (hunting for food). Close in/defensive you'd need to have something you can swing/draw quickly with sufficient stopping power.

I'd guess I'd want at least a 9mm handgun, plus something like an AR or larger to hunt with, both with sufficient ammo to keep them running through whatever happens.
