TASK: Pick exactly ONE of the following to take with you.
CONDITIONS: You are alone (plus your cat--or dog, if you're one of THOSE types) in your home area in North America, and society in your area is facing a breakdown of order to a notable, but unknown, degree. You (and the kid) must bug out NOW, and are able to take exactly ONE of the following weapons, fully loaded with 50 additional rounds of ammunition plus clips or loaders/strips as pertinent. (Your choice of .38 or .357 if that is your option--please mention said choice in your response). You will be free to scrounge for more as called for. (I didn't see nuttin'.) Discard any local possession and carry laws, but note that arms you may have stored elsewhere very likely will not be accessible to you. Keep in mind that while .38 Special is the more popular revolver round in the world, 9mm is the most popular pistol round, period--including in North America.
STANDARD: Survival and getting to a place where you can secure survival --and perhaps ultimately further action in support of our American heritage--is your goal.
TECHNICALS: The weapons function virtually identically, but the 9mm version requires the use of star clips, which makes reloading during a fight virtually impossible. (But see TDF 31 for a perspective on that.) See here for more specs: Ruger® LCR® Double-Action Revolvers.
You and the quadruped have to leave NOW!
