What 3 guns should every California gun owner have?

[Heavyhits]

Are the Mossberg 500 tactical legal in California? I ask this becuase of the pistol grip design....

[1064chubbs]

M1A .308, AR .223, 1911 .45......Shotguns are nice but not essential but a Mossy 500 would be good in any situation. 3 is just not enough

Pump action shotguns can have pistol grips as long as the overall length is 26" inches.

Please tell me where this exists.
I'll take two, one for me to keep as a spare and one for a buddy so he can quit borrowing mine.

I thought the same thing. I'd buy 20 and put them up on gunbroker, turn 50% profit.

Well, I could hypothesize and list what I think is best, or I could just list what I've actually spent hard-earned money on.
1. Remington 870 HD
2. Used Ruger GP-100 4"
Next is a rifle of some sort. I'm looking at maybe getting an SKS.

Ideally, if I had more $$$... (thinking of SHTF):
1. Keep the 870
2. XD-45 Compact
3. M1A or M1 Garand w/ stockpile of enbloc .30-06

I would argue the Rem 870, Ruger GP, SKS combo might be the best bargain for reliable home defense set-up. Nice, frugal choices.

M1A Springfield for the NATO round rifle. Benelli Nova 12 Gauge (shotgun that has served me well), and a nice reliable .45 ACP revolver.

Thanks, I've put a lot of thought into my acquisitions. The good thing about having to save up is you get plenty of time to research and contemplate.

This is a no brainer..

1. Garand
2. Rem 870
3. 1911

[daskraut]

M1A, a big bore bolt action (.30-06+) and a 12 guage pump shotgun

[KenpoProfessor]

I gotta go with

AR 15 platform with multiple uppers in pistol calibers (including .22) with .50 Beowulf for game.

Glock that will interchange calibers such as a M23 with a .357 Sig and 9mm barrel and mags. Also cuts down on extra holsters.

Any decent 12 guage pump for SD and hunting with slugs.

Have a great gun carryin' Kenpo day

[psriley]

Whatever I shoot with most proficiently

Whatever has the most common and available ammo

Whatever has readily available spare parts.

[Cpl_Peters]

m1a
12 gauge general purpose (big five special 870, mossy 500)
.40 caliber da/sa or dao handgun (sig, hk, glock, xd)

EVERY Californian? MOST Californians are total idiots, much less capable of handling a firearm. Do you want Paris Hilton to have a gun?
What about Barbara Boxer?
Dont forget Speaker Nancy!
