Just finished reading the last two books from William R Forstchen in the “One Second After” series and all are very good and eye opening….. One second after is the first then there is “One Year After” and the last two are “The Final Day” and then “Five Years After”…….Highly recommend reading in order but all are great books and really make you think about how bad things would get if we lost power, transportation, food and water…..I’m not a prepper but after reading the Forstchen series books I’ve stocked up on canned goods and enough water to last several weeks……We have a cabin in the north Georgia mountains in Blairsville and I suppose we would head up there if things got too crazy in Atlanta like 9 shootings and 6 dead last weekend isn’t crazy enough……
As for bug out guns I would of course have my PM9 in my pocket and my S&W M&P 9 in a belt holster with all the mags and ammo I could grab in a bag…..I would throw several boxes of 12 gauge in there with as much .223 and 30-30 I could carry and I would sling my trusty Mossberg short barrel shotgun on one shoulder and my Marlin 336 lever action 30-30 on the other shoulder and my AR-15 slung over my head in front……Slings are absolutely necessary for any useful long gun to be able to keep your hands free…….I would first try to hold down the fort as long as possible but in a war zone like Atlanta or any large city if SHTF it would soon become not worth it to stay…….
