Sounds good to me.
Rifle trio
Browning T-bolt 22lr
11.5” 5.56 SBR with a spare 10.5” 9mm upper
Savage model 10 308 or Winchester 70 243 (I can load lots of either if needed)
Personally I don’t care for a Mini’s trigger, and the overall feel just doesn’t do it for me. I don’t own another semi auto rifle other than my one AR and my one AK. Everything else is a bolt or lever action. I have a few semi auto 12ga but they all have wood and blued steel.

I like Mini-14 rifles and have a couple of them. No way I'd pick one over an AR if I was forced to, though, so an AR would be my first choice. Not because they don't shoot well enough or anything like that. They just aren't as adaptable to a variety of things...accessories, the shooter, modularity in calibers, etc...as an AR, and magazines are not nearly as plentiful and readily available. But I still like 'em. A Mini-14 GBF was the first rifle I ever bought for myself.
#2 of 3 would be my Henry Small Game Carbine in .22WMR.
#3 would be my Marlin 1895G "Guide Gun" in .45-70. Just because...
Honorable Mention would be a Kel-Tec Sub2000 (Glock mags) in 9MM.

I am good with my Mini 14 but I do wish it had a wood stock. It is plenty accurate enough for real world use. I have a couple of 22 rifles. That is enough.
EDIT: I just ran across Ruger 30rd Mini 14 mags for $27 plus shipping. The wife is going to be pissed but I ordered a couple. Now I just need to sell something to cover the cost. You guys sure I can not interest anybody in a nice sword?

I don't think it would be proper for someone to tell me I have to settle for only 3. I think I might have a problem with that.
I wish the ACR was still a thing...that was a cool rifle based on the AR18 (and I am fond of piston guns)
Why not 2 ARs, a Winchester model 90 - 30 30, Remington model 7-260, 12 ga, 3-16 ga, 3 22s, a Browning 30-06 oh crap the list goes on...and around 10k rounds of ammo.
If things go south, I could use a few hands to man some guns...

As a former resident of California, I've already been through the stress of the government trying to turn me into a felon every legislative session. Now that I have my AR's in the configuration that the good Lord intened them to be in, I'm not going back. I may buy some other rifles to supplement what I have, but I'm not abandoning the AR or AK platforms.
That being said, I don't begrudge anyone who is starting to think that maybe another platform is a viable alternative, say a Mini-14, Ruger PCC or a Kel-Tec RDB Survival rifle, all would be effective tyranny repellant. Hell, when I lived in CA, I bought a few SKS's and an Enfield in preparation for an outright ban on Semiauto mag fed rifles
