plans for the inevitable undead uprising
jhocking:
I think we should make a website. Sort of like how there are websites that use Google maps to show where the nearest movie theater is or whatever, we need a website where you can quickly find where the nearest gun store is, and also a few other resources that are useful in a zombie outbreak.

Joe hit my biggest gripe on the head. The vast majority of people do not have guns or access to guns. Even those who do, you've got a higher likelihood of being caught without said gun than with it, unless you're a cop, military officer or nutjob who carries it at all times.
If I really wanted, I live about two blocks away from a police station (Which is, in point of fact, directly on my route out of the city). For the sake of argument, I could, with the brightest strokes of luck, get access to a gun in a zombie outbreak. However, I would have to get from here to said police station unscathed, get into the police station and then find and gain access to the weapons room.
Sure, it's in the realm of possibility, but it's unsafe, unsure and taking up valuable time that would likely be better served outright escaping.

That is one of my biggest gripes re: this thread also. There are things I have presently and there are things I could get with little to no difficulty in order to plan for such a thing. A gun is probably not one of them. Of any kind, especially not a fucking submachine gun or someshit like that. I could probably get some kind of target/competition shooting gun for use at a range, but that would probably be very low calibre and next to useless against zombies :(
It would be great for me to say "ok guys, I am putting together a go-bag in case of zombie infestation. In it I have an AK-47, a few berettas, ammunition, a couple of ball-peen hammers, a baseball bat, some canned food and a can-opener, some empty bottles for water, etc etc etc" but I may as well add onto the end of that "and then I am going to fly away in my fucking Apache attack helicopter and live happily ever after" because it's just not realistic. Hammers, baseball bats and crowbars I have/can get. Pistols, rifles and tactical thermonuclear weaponry, not so much.
Hell, if I am being picky even riding off on a motorbike is a bit iffy at the moment seeing as I do not currently own one. But at least I could at some point buy one in order for it to be included in my plans. Sure, this is a theoretical fantasy thread, whatever. But isn't the entire point of a modern-day zombie setting to make your plans feasible? Else I'm just gonna start casting "turn undead" and smiting and shit.

Your reference to DnD is making me think very condescending (and very nerdy) thoughts about munchkins.
