[Frost__2001]

you know a funny thing no one really thinks about and going on the movies as a base point, is Zombies are attraced to sounds, and light, as well as food, so by going to a store where lots of light is, is well kinda a bad idea, it's why I'd say a weapon of choice would be a sword, or some kind of blade. also if you happen to be in a city if an outbreak were to occure being in an apartment building would be a safe place as the stair doors can be easily sealed on the ground floor and you can only exit out of them to the outside, the elevators would not be an issue as you can put them into service only mode. not to mention you'd have a advantage of height, and sight to your advantage.
