4 Guns You Need to Own

As with any good debate there is no clear, right answer and there are more opinions than anyone can process. So, you ask what makes me think my opinion is the right one, or the one that you should follow? Simply, I don’t. I have my opinion based on my experience as a firearms instructor for various police departments, my years in the Army, my desire to find an inexpensive way to live, and my understanding of keeping things simple for the beginner or curious. With that said, I understand that this article is among hundreds if not thousands that maintain the writer’s stance on what gun you should have for whatever situation you foresee yourself in. My breakdown is simple, inexpensive, and all encompassing. Not everyone is suited or capable of handling a .45 caliber pistol. Just as not everyone is capable of spending $700-$1200 on the currently popular AR-15 style rifle. I loved my M4 in the Army, and I love my civilian model now and recommend one to anyone if they already have the other 4 guns in this article.

I truly hope this article helps clear up the debate for you, and helps you take the next or possibly the first step in purchasing your first piece of self-defense. For those of you that already have a working knowledge of firearms I challenge you to consider this information as well. As always, any comments or questions are appreciated.

So, let’s get this started. First off, there is no order in which you should buy these guns. If you have experience with rifles, shotguns or pistols then go with what you know first. I believe there are 4 guns that you need to have in your house to cover every scenario possible from a regular day to doomsday. Once you have these 4 guns and sufficient ammo, that we will discuss later, then you can keep your eye out for specific guns that you would like to own for your own situation, and I will discuss a few of those in this article as well.

1. The Legendary .22 Rifle

The .22 rifle is perhaps the most commonly owned gun in America. Most of these type articles will agree with me on this; a .22 rifle is a must have. Let me explain why. Let me breakdown why so many Americans own this rifle and why this is on my list. A .22 rifle is one of the least expensive firearms to purchase. I recently bought a .22 for $110 at Wal-Mart. It has a 10 round detachable magazine and a black synthetic stock. They are generally priced in the low $100 range and the tube fed rifles can hold up to 17 rounds. My first recommendation is a firearm that will cost you roughly $100. That is a small investment. The ammunition can be somewhat difficult to find due to the popularity now. However, if you check with local gun stores or places other than Wal-Mart you can generally find ammo. Ammunition for a .22 is inexpensive as well. The local gun store has plenty of ammo to choose from. The basic ammunition I bought was a can of 325 rounds for $21.95. That is a lot of ammo for a small price. The low cost per round is a critical aspect of owning this gun. So basically, for an investment of $200 you can have one of the most common firearms in America and about 1000 rounds of ammo for it.
