Guns, Dogs and Blades QnA

OK, if you have a 12 gauge and a fullsize pistol in 9mm, would you say that's enough to defend, or what would you get next?

Smaller handgun for conceal carry or a rifle for hunting and distance self-defense? I don't hunt, but I can if I have to in SHTF mode... and I'm getting a vibe. If a rifle, recommendations?

Or my favorite, just put the money into getting the old Valiant on the road?

Thanks!

Something you can harvest with based upon your geography. Unnecessarily large caliber is fun until you have to walk with it for days.
A well built AR platform will provide a great deal of functionality across any number of circumstances.

Something for personal protection. Dealer's choice.
