Good List, RAH 'n'all...but it was lacking....

I would suggest (as per my own inventory)
1 ea. Garand 30-06 (hunting.....or "reprimand")  500 rds of Ammo
    (Or if you're younger, a standard '06 or 308 semi-auto that is
     reasonably accurate)
1 ea wheel gun, large caliber  (I prefer the 41 magnum, myself)
1 ea semi-auto handgun 500 rds ammo (I prefer the Corp's workhorse,  
the 92FS,
      but others prefer the Glock)
1 packable 380 auto
Frangible ammuntion for handguns (1 load each) - keeps neighbor's safe
Powder, Press, dies, primers, slugs, shells (for barter and for  
reloading)

Adjust rifles and handguns (2nd set) to bride (30 carbine, 38 special  
lemonsqueezer, whatever)
Adjust rifles and handguns (more sets) to children (Ruger carbines,  
that kind of tool)

Why? 'Cause a lot of people can't afford the following survival  
schmuck and gizmos...
they will be forced to "forage," so to speak, and the forager's (aka  
"zombies") will need
to be distracted (discouraged) by the "foragee's"....I would assert  
that the number of
zombies out foraging will vary directly with the population density of  
the area within
radii of about 5 miles (walking distance...). The radii will increase  
directly with the
passage of time. I don't have time to cobble an equation, but if one  
zombie consumes
the one or two day larder of the foragee, then moves on, there may be  
an inverse square
law as to how fast the radius expands in that area. Of course some  
larder rots, so that
has to be factored into the equation. Another factor that come into  
play is cannibalism...as
per "Leningrad" and other places where zombies went foraging.

Anyway, I've added a couple of motivational posters to put up in your  
house if
you do have the schmuck and gizmos listed below to any degree:
