I would simply point out the fact that ANY gun that you aren't used to, haven't practiced with, and aren't proficient with isn't nearly as good as the one you take to the range often. I'm staying as far away from any store selling guns that I possibly can if the SHTF. It will be a riot due to everyone thinking they can get there and just grab anything to head on out and face the horde. I'm headed to an old school with big thick walls, grates over the windows, and only a few doors that I have to chain shut for the first few days. Most have a cafeteria that will last for at least a few, and lots of water. They have high roofs so that you can recon the immediate area with a decent pair of binoculars and just sit tight until the histeria dies down a bit. Then plan out your next move. I'd be taking the guns that I practice with often, AR15, AK47, and pistols in 9,40,&45. The shotguns would also be along for the ride. This way, anyone else who shows up with any prior knowledge of firearms could at least have a chance at being familiar with something I have on hand. I like 9mm for handguns due to capacity, and AR's and AK's for the same reasons.....
