Before each of the major hurricanes this year, I’ve seen people arrive at this site after searching for “hurricane gun”, and similar terms.  At first I attributed this to people worried about the wrongful gun confiscation after Hurricane Katrina, but upon further review it seems that was not what people were looking for:

Instead, it seems that people were looking for a gun with which to defend themselves during/after a hurricane, and many seem to have settled on the AR-15.  I’m basing that conclusion on the pages of this site which were viewed, and reports of increased AR-15 sales in the hurricanes projected paths.

So, it would seem that the AR-15 is the “hurricane gun” of choice for law abiding citizens who wish to defend themselves during a natural disaster.  Although I’m more of a fan of shotguns, the AR-15 does have some excellent self defense features that can allow a law abiding citizen to defend themselves from criminals during a natural disaster.  Being a resident of the midwest, who does not have to worry about hurricanes, I’m now curious what would constitute a good “tornado gun” or a “flash flood gun”… :)
