I'm going to a gun show tomorrow. What should I buy?

**crackerjackson5** · 03-15-2013, 09:57 AM

I currently don't own a gun but I'm looking to get prepared for the end of the world. I've got about $1000 budget.

Please buy one and use it to end your life

A Colt .45

Buy 1 bullet

Then kill yourself

if you prefer a semi auto

What an odd question, depends on what you want it for, what your usage will be, what is comfortable for you etc. you're gonna lose that grand quick with no idea what you're looking for.

If it's for personal protection in your house get a handgun or a shotgun. Have you even shot a gun before? You might want to know how to use a gun before you go buy one.

just as lethal as a regular AR-15, but more pretty

It's for home protection. I've shot skeet numerous times but I don't have much experience with rifles or hand guns.

Three firearms choices for under $1000 for beginner prepper/survivalists

Stick with a pump action shotgun. There is something psychological that stops people in their tracks when they hear a shotgun racking a shell.

**HeinousMark** · 03-15-2013, 10:13 AM

Ruger 1911 and extra mags, holster, and ammo

**pheelios** · 03-15-2013, 10:15 AM

I own a Ruger 10/22 and a Ruger P89, next will be a Ruger mini 14.

**Wesmantooth** · 03-15-2013, 10:19 AM

just keep a heads up for those shells they can be hot

10/22 is a great little gun. I don't think it's ever jammed once on me, and I can't say that for any other semi-auto 22 I've fired. They're just a solid dependable brand that's reasonably priced

**BudBudha** · 03-15-2013, 10:25 AM

Saiga12 with a 20 round drum

Even if you're in California you can still get drums

I put a Ram-Line Pistol Grip Folding Rifle Stock on mine for the hell of it. It's always been reliable.
