Thanks for the thoughts.

Even though I said EOTWAWKI, I'm not really expecting such a breakdown in police forces that I would feel comfortable toting a rifle/shotgun around. I'm thinking more NOLA-style breakdown of civil society where I may have to defend the apartment and/or walk out of the city, but there are a lot of bad dudes around. I have a feeling walking around NOLA carrying a shotgun would have been a good way to get shot by the cops.

Interesting idea about the Glock. Hadn't really thought about picking up ammo along the way. Could the same argument be made about P226? I thought that was also an approved NYPD service weapon. (Could be wrong, though.)

What about pre-ban magazines? I still see them available on-line some places (probably for guys like me where we still need pre-ban stuff). Any reason not to trust a pre-ban magazine? Age?
