Not sure I could pare it down to three as circumstances dictate the selection. But I can get it down to 4 from my virtual collection. IMHO these meet the basic criteria for home defense and putting food on the table.

 

M1 Garand

.45 Colt 1911*

12 Gauge Remmie 1100

.22 Mossberg -- https://peashooter85.tumblr.com/post/82243732775/the-mossberg-model-42m-b-lend-lease-22-caliber

 

*Might swap that for an M1 Carbine, but ammo is not commonly available

No. Keep the pistol. You need an easily carried backup for the long guns.

Oh the horror! Even my "Training wife" allowed me to have 10 guns in the house!!!!


My "training wife" could not stand my banjo.
I still have the banjo.

I traded the "training wife" in for 3 shotguns, fantastic deal! With the current wife I had to buy her 11 guns until she found 7 to compete with. These days when she says "upgrade", I remind her who hasn't retired yet! :D

Hard call to limit it to 3 guns. My thought would be:

- S&W Mdl 29, 8 3/8" w/S&W shoulder holster. Sweet and accurate shooter.

- stock '87 SG.

- either a Marlin mdl 39A or Remington .270, just depends on circumstances. 

 

It's hard to look into the safes and only pick out 3.

Smith & Wesson .44 Mag for elk and deer, 2 .45 Rugers, 1 .45 Henry and a 10 gauge double for SASS, deringer, .44 Henry, long barrel 10 double, .22 revolver .38-55 and C. Sharps .50-140 for side matches and long range, .22 Model 41 and Les Baer .45 for bullseye plus my .44ccw revolver and .22 kit gun.

 

Three guns, impossible.  :rolleyes:

well the training wife , got rid of all my stuff, tools , boats, guns , and fishing equ 

...reckon it was a good trade . for her to be gone 

 


I traded her the house, the car, the furniture and the bank account, for the son.
I didn't think it was possible to put a house, car, furniture and a bank vault up her nose... but she did.
47 years later, I still have the son, and he calls my keeper (40 years) "Mom".

One thing I did lose, was my Remington #6 takedown.
This was a falling block 22 that came from my Uncle Floyd, to my Dad as a boy, to me as a boy, and then to a burglar.
I learned how to crawl through the sage bush in S.W. Idaho as a kid out stalking prairie dogs.
Only had one shot, had to make it count.

Like others, it would depend upon the circumstances, but I think I've narrowed it down to one......AH-64.

Small carry- LCP II in .380

Larger carry- .45 acp Shield

Largest carry- Dillon mini-gun (If my arms tire, I'll mount it)

I could do worse than my cowboy guns, given some serious ammo, which I have ready. I would have to settle for one pistol though. My gear includes a couple dozen rounds in the belt loops. I have sets in 44 Special, 38 Special/357, and 45 Colt. I would go with the 45 Colt set, my Baikal double, and my JM Marlin Cowboy.

Do you really think those who would restrict us to 3 guns would really let us keep 3 guns?

 

Look at it as more an intellectual puzzle and challenge than a political statement, and have fun!
