[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 3831037, member: 35036"] Talking about shtf of whatever, you’re an hour from the house. If it’s “what everyone expects” you have a day or two before people get violent. Plenty of time to walk home with protection. If it goes from a morning commute to WW3/mad max with dudes chasing you with crew served chainsaws and alcohol fed flame throwers in a matter of minutes, I wouldn’t want to be trying to be some trendy navy delta force black ops operator in the streets. If you have a family or kids, I doubt you’re going to want to go out looking for gunfights on the walk home, if you have to walk. Your sidearm and a few mags should be more than enough. Statistics wise, if you get into a gunfight, your life expectancy drops like a rock; period. Rifle or not. I feel like a rifle in the vehicle isn’t for if SHTF or whatever, it’s because you’re expecting a fight where you’re going or along the way. Stuff falling apart is a whole other scenario, and typically you don’t need one for the first 96 hours at least. [/QUOTE]
