9mm. Carbines and pistols are available. Easy to handle. Cheap ammo, especially if you handload. Free once fired brass at the range.
My take: get to know your neighbors because it’s good to be part of a community of interconnected people, not specifically for creating a neighborhood watch. By the time you get to know folks pretty well, you’ll have a pretty good idea of whether or not you’d loan them a firearm for any reason (let alone some kind of emergency).Like to ask preppers here a question. What do you guys think about forming a neighborhood watch? For instance, I could get to know the fellow neighbors in my condo unit and we could watch each others back. I know many of us here a gun enthusiast and probably have multiple handguns. Given that would you lend your neighborhood watch people your extra handguns? Since these people are unlike "gun person", perhaps loan them a revolver? Or is this a bad idea?
I'm with you. I could even be convinced of a 9mm / 308 combo if hunting is a real consideration.

If you have the right neighbors. Everyone should have guns and ammo to disperse to trustworthy people they know/trust. Having extra guns is a force multiplier. Guns and ammo are also invaluable for trade. Make sure you trust the person you hand a gun to.....they may decide to take all your stuff.
Having a dedicated and secure place to bug out to is important. I've got a variety of options and plenty of ammo in my dig in position and at my bug out location. I just have to worry about the trip. I'm primarily going to be worried about 2 legged predators in that situation... hunting ammo will be waiting for me if I make it to the destination. Not worried so much about food, even if we have to walk (that will be waiting for us)... focus will be getting there fast, safely, and quietly. Common AR platform and double stack 9mms for everyone... maybe a suppressed .22 just in case.
I have a group and a couple of places. We have a loose plan.
We have a plan. Code name: Alamo

Ugh. I've gone round and round in my head about this.
There's exactly one guy in my neighborhood that I would trust to join up with. The rest are unreliable. Some are downright hostile Socialists. (This is Maryland, after all.) I'd have to kill half of my neighbors just to put together a neighborhood watch that wouldn't murder me in my sleep or hand me over to Biden's Gestapo.
Charlie Maloney has a sign on his website: "Beware the man with only one gun."
I simply can't afford nor can I be bothered to stockpile 20 different calibers of ammunition for every conceivable circumstance. I keep a shotgun for intimate encounters and .30-06 for long distance phone calls.
Within those two calibers there are many options of ammo available to cover many different situations.
