Obviously, a person's primary rifle, but what else?

I'm bringing the following:

My .30-06
My wife's .243
Lee-Enfield .303 as a backup
.22 rifle (for tree rats)
My 9mm carry piece
a .22 revolver for fun

Am I over-armed? LOL...

couple 30-06's a 7mm and a few shotguns in case we head south of the highway to the no rifle zone.  Also tons of bottle rockets.  We get massive black bird swarms that land in the trees above the cabin and its deafening.  One bottle rocket and back to peace and quiet!

The new 243 and the 270 for backup.  Man I have always wanted a Colt Python HD. About 20 years ago a buddy and I went to Gander in Maplewood I think it was.  He bought one new for $600 and that was a lot then.  They guy said they are going way up in price so better get em now.  Man I wish I would have..

Man those 220's are shoulder crunchers.  I wonder what it's like to get hit by one of those flying ashtrays?

Now that sounds like fun!  I used to run the squirrels out of our birdfeeder with a paintball gun.  You haven't really experienced pure unadulterated joy till you've laid down a stream of booger green automatic fire on a grey squirrel. Man, they can really run fast when someones trying to paint them!  I got one to run down the road one time when he bailed out of the feeder, and I was lobbing in a steady stream of paint balls from 70 yards out.  He was not a happy camper, and I wouldn't doubt he's still running!
