If you are legally allowed to, buy an AR, a modern double-stack pistol, body armor, and lots of ammo.
Your rifle will need a sling, red dot sight, light, and extra mags. Your pistol will also need a light, holster (with suitable belt), and extra mags.
Also buy two tourniquets and an Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK).

North American Rescue, Blue Force Gear, and Coyote Tactical are all great companies. Don't order from Amazon, you're trusting this stuff to save your life. Learn how to use them.
If you're on our side of twitter, you should have this gear and learn how to use it. Encourage everyone you care about to get this gear as well.

And remember, It's useless if you don't know how to use it. TRAIN TRAIN TRAIN.
Lastly, the best way to survive a situation where you'd need this gear is to avoid it in the first place. Be vigilant and be smart. Don't put yourself in a situation where there's likely to be a confrontation.

Reminder that you never want to have to use this gear. This is an absolute last resort, to be used in defense of your (or family's) life and home. If trouble comes to you, do what is necessary, but do not go looking for it. https://twitter.com/jackkessl/status/1266228391075876864?s=20
