On guns
Three are necessary, although the logically you can argue that "one is none, two is one."
The first, I would recommend a stainless steel revolver, .357 magnum so you can shoot either .357 magnum shell through it, or if you don't like all that kick you still can fire .38 specials through it. It's basically two guns in one, a .38 and a .357 all in the same efficient package. I recommend revolvers since they are almost impossible to jam, and you don't have the same amount of mechanical issues that semi-automatics have.
My recommendation: Smith and Wesson .357 Model 66 Chief's Special
The second, would be a short-barreled 12 gauge shotgun, as they are ideal for home dwellers. These are not used for hunting, they are really designed for home defense. You simply cannot go wrong with 00 buckshot, and with 7 in the tube you can get a lot of stuff done with one of these, fast.
My recommendation: Winchester Defender 1300 pump action shotgun
Third and last, a "scary black rifle" if for no other reason than the hippies don't want you to have one. Besides the withering firepower, the deterrent factor is high with these in a SHTF/Katrina style situation with the proven ability to reach out and touch someone, and in an urban environment these rifles are terrifying. I prefer the AK-47 variant, and I own this and an AR or two. The AK is less accurate, but the larger 7.62x39 round has a lot more stopping power and provided you are under 300 meters from your target the rock-solid reliability of the AK makes it my choice in a pinch.
My recommendation: Arsenal AK-47 assault rifle

That's a beautiful revolver you have, by the way. I hope you don't get jealous when I say that? As well, I really like the AK. Nothing personal, and though I believe in having them and do have one, shotguns just aren't my thing (at least I didn't say her hips are too big or anything).
I just got my XD .45 tactical the other day, and put 100 downrange. Beautiful. Next up either a .357 (and I think I'll have to look for a sister of your gun if I go that way, twin sister) or a S&W .460 magnum. Then, a .308 bolt-action, which will have me as good as I dare get here in liberalville. An Ak later, maybe a lever-action bush gun if I don't get the .460. Hmmm, decisions...
Oh, great advice on guns, by the way and in my opinion. No home should be without a similar set-up. I just think if I had to choose, I would lose the air-bags in my car, soda in my fridge, and whatever else to get the guns, and not even including that they are fun to shoot as part of the equation. Besides, they are one time purchases with small sips after that (mostly, it's up to the owner:).
