A agree that, for the price of a firearm in a less popular caliber, you can buy a good bit of a common caliber for guns you already have. The ammo for those less common rounds also tends to be a good bit higher, so you're looking at even more expense over just buying some more common ammo to put away.

Plopping down several hundred dollars for a gun to combat the possibilty of a shortage of the kind that's happened once in recent memory might be an inferior choice when compared to spending that money on preparedness for more common occurances (job loss, medical emergency, accident, flood, fire, hurricane, etc).
