Sights for rifles
depending on batteries after a major disaster might not be a good plan. So here are some sights besides iron sights that don't require batteries:
1 power scope, can work with or without batteries. doesn't have unlimited eye relief.
The lines of the crosshairs are very hard to see, very thin. I don't like it.

1 to 3 power scope, can work with or without batteries. doesn't have unlimited eye relief. When battery is one, it lights up pretty good, easy to see quickly.

works without batteries but it has been said if you are in shade and target is in bright light it is hard or impossible to see the dot. I confirmed this, if indoors and pointing out on a sunny day, the dot is not visible. The fiber optics on top are the way it adjusts the dot brightness relative to the environment. If the fiber optics good little light, it things is it dark outside. In darkness the dot shows up well. So good for everything except a sniper like situation.

join the NRA for free
Obama does want your guns. Don't be fooled.
Join the National Rifle Association for free, let our politicians know that we know we are not safer when you make rules so people who follow rules are disarmed.
Cowardly bad guys who don't follow the rules love unarmed good guys.

bug out guns
if you believe that you may need a gun for your bugout kit then here are some ideas.
If you know you are going to be in a gunfight, you don't take a pistol you take a rifle. Actually you take a rifle but you take a pistol as backup if the rifle fails or you run out of ammo.
AR-15 style rifle -- advantage is that it is a "good guy" gun and our military uses it. It is accurate but needs to be cleaned and maintained to function reliably. Lots of people in the US have this gun.
Ak-47 -- this gun is reliable and is reliable even when you don't clean it much or treat it badly or get it all dirty. Isn't the most accurate, but may be more accurate than you are when shooting for your life. You won't be able to make it into a sniper rifle though.
As for an Ak-47 go ahead and buy the best.

Lots of people make AR-15 style rifles.
Folding stocks on either rifle are worth it if bugging out in a vehicle are involved. Folding stocks were invented for getting in and out of vehicles with rifles.
Pistols
Revolvers are more reliable and simple for people that are "not into guns"
they are slower to reload for most.
Automatics are better for people "into guns"
.38 special, 9mm, and .45 are good calibers for two legged snakes.
A .22 pistol is great for the bugout bag for shooting at some food you might find during your bugout or after. In one of my bugout bags I have a Henry Survival Rifle in .22. Very compact, light and the rifle barrel fits into the buttstock.
shotguns are good if you can carry it. With a slug you can reach out to 100 yards and buckshot is great for close encounters. Put birdshot in there and you can hunt small game. It has been said if you could only have one gun it should be a shotgun.
To all the idiots out there that think that they are going to scare someone away by the sound of their shotgun chambering a round, all I can say is that I for one would say that anyone with any brains will immediately shoot toward the direction of that sound.

Carbine Class
I recently took a carbine class to learn how to shoot one of those evil "assault rifles." (true assault rifles are not single shot rifles they are fully automatic or shoot more than one shot at one time, so this is just more nonsense from reporters who don't know what they are talking about.. or politicians) So I was shooting a semi-automatic rifle. I digress.
Anyway the training was very good, and I worked out some issues related to quickly reloading, safely handling the rifle around others and doing immediate action drills when the rifle jams. We did alot of timed quick shooting at targets from many distances. Oh, and we also did some drills of transitioning to a pistol if and when the rifle has problems.
I recommend training to anyone of any skill level. There is nothing like group training and doing drills under supervision in a timed drill. And I stress whatever your skill level.... It is just usefull whether you are clueless or super advanced.
I highly recommend http://bluffdalefirearmsacademy.com/ in central Texas for carbine classes.
