I have a gun, baseball bat and generator. And am american. But not for the reasons above.

I have a lot of rabbits and hares eating my veg (gun) live in an area where we have loads of powercuts (got genertor after a disastrous Christmas eve lol) and a bat to teach my boys to play ball. Always have bottled water around, as water pipes get cut by farmers round here (and in the US many have it for hurricane supplies).

Good to know i'll have something useful for armaggeddon ;-)
