Not too bad. Couple questions, though.
How much ammo are you planning on carrying? Also, is there any reason why you don't include a sidearm?

Have you thought about putting some plastic and/or ziploc bags in your backpack? Might be useful in storing the stuff you scavenge.

firstly, yes i was thinking about organizing some stuff in my backpack with ziploc bags, and also i am carrying about 75 shells on my person, plus a few extra boxes of shells in my backpack, it may not seem like alot but I should be able to get to the gun shop on the other side of my small town with less than 5,000 people. I will restock on guns and ammo at the gun shop there, and to answer the question about the sidearm, i have handguns but they are pretty much crap now, due to the jammed cylinder on the .38 spl. snubnose revolver , and the broken safety on the .32 acp. so yeah i am not a very rich guy, i just work hard for my guns. thanks man. Do you find this valuable?

I see.
What kind of shells are you planning un using? 00 buck, slugs, etc.?

Also, as I said on your plan, going to a gunshop isn't the best idea. Hundreds of other people will be thinking the same thing. Given the choice, I'd avoid a trigger-happy mob.

Very true, about the mob, but I myself think that where i live alot of people will be caught unprepared like what you see in resident evil movies, and also, I will be using No.4 birdshot, and 1 oz slugs for my shotgun, which by the way has two barrels, (one barrel for buckshot, birdshot, etc. and one barrel for slugs). So yeah, trust me, my plan is fool proof. 2  out of 12 found this valuable. Do you?

Meh, there ain't a plan ever been written that's foolproof.

And given the fact that the Mossberg 500 doesn't have two barrels, seems like you're trolling

Edit: Quoting OP, just in case.

1) The goal isn't to make a plan that is completely fool-proof; that's impossible. The goal is to make a plan that is effective and precise but can be quickly re-adapted if something goes wrong.

2) Any plan that involves heading to a gun shop is definitely nowhere near fool-proof.

3) Any plan based on the content of movies is definitely not fool-proof.

4) It's even worse if the people in your area are caught completely unprepared. In situations like this (such as after natural disasters) where people feel their lives are in danger, unprepared people have a tendency to act batsh-t crazy.

Just look at videos of New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina, or even the crowds at stores on Black Friday where people are pepper sprayed and trampled (and these people don't even believe their lives depend on getting what they are after in the store - imagine how crazy they would act if they did believe this).

In short, you'd be competing with 5,000 batsh-t crazy people tearing up the town, not to mention the gun-store owner who is not going to want to give up his weapons and is heavily armed.

He means smoothbore and a rifled barrel, not that it's an SxS or O/U

first off i never said i had a mossberg 500 with two barrels, i meant i switch out a barrel from the gun and put in a different one. Think before you smart off to me, and thank you to those of you guys for backing me up. 2  out of 10 found this valuable. Do you?

"...and wine about my plan all you want but i will get out alive."
I don't believe anyone was whinning about your plan.

Anyway go get'em tiger. Good to have another tough guy around here. Some of these guys are a little wishy washy. I like someone with some confidence.

I see. That's my mistake, and I apologize.
Edit: Although, in all fairness, you did say it had two barrels. Just not with the meaning that I took from it.

However, as Timber said, I wasn't whining about your plan. I was pointing out a legitimate problem that has been said of many plans. Assuming that others will be unprepared can be a critical error.

Okie Dokies then, and i realize my plan is a longshot too, but then again assuming the gun shop owner is zombiefied, (which he may or may not be), but if he is zombified i'll blow his head off and clear the shop and hunker down in the gun shop, with barricades of course on the windows. Also if theres anyone in the gun shop, i'll scavenge abandoned homes, and other abandoned stores like grocery stores, and get supplies then head back to my home, and besides zombies might have something i can use on their corpse if i get lucky enough. 3  out of 12 found this valuable.

Well, the main issue with that is, during the first few days of infection, very few places will be totally abandoned. Only with time will the population begin to decrease.

If you can stock enough supplies in your home to avoid going out during the initial panic, you stand a much better chance of survival. It's always better to have stuff and not need it than need stuff and not have it.

and that sir, is why am not going anywhere when zombies happen, I'm staying in my home, those plans i went over were more or less a last ditch plan so to speak, and yes i have more than enough shotgun shells to last me years, and the point of my kit is not to last a lifetime, but to last me a long time. 4  out of 4 found this valuable.

Guess what, everybody, i got a new gun, it's called a walther p22, and yes it's caliber is .22lr, and the best part we bought hundreds of rounds for it, plus a holster, and it came with a laser sight, which is good for if it's night time and you can't see your sights. I now even have mag pouches for carrying my magazines
Good luck when zombie apocalypse strikes people.
