Everyone seems to think that shotguns are the ultimate zombie killing firearm. While they certainly would have their advantages (stopping power, easy to use, ammunition is very common) the fact of the matter is that shotgun shells are heavy. Like REALLY heavy. Most couldn't carry more than a few dozen without starting to slow themselves down, especially considering people are carrying other supplies as well. That's why I would go with a .22. Sure the stopping power sucks, but stopping power becomes less and less helpful more zombies you face. With a .22 you can literally carry thousands of rounds of ammo, and with a small amount of proficiency, pull off head-shots from greater distance than with a shotgun. Also it would make hunting for small game to eat much easier.

Just remember these rules: Cardio, double-tap, and seat belts.
Give me an M203 and a 9 mm with hollowpoint rounds and I'll survive with ease. A chainsaw and some Skittles would also be useful :)
Shovels - sharpen the edge, makes a great polearm cleaver.
Bows and arrows - you don't want to use guns if you don't have too. The noise will attract more.
Axes - both the classic cutting ax and hunting hand axes
Knives - all lengths and sizes. If a zombie gets too close, a knife to the eye will do the trick.
Steel toed boots - How many times have we seen people frantically kicking at zombies with their feet? Might as well wear shoes that make it worthwhile!
I would also stock up on Carhatts, gloves, and motorcycle helmets. Human teeth are strong, but as long as the teeth don't tear through the fabric, even a bite won't infect you because the saliva doesn't make contact.

I feel like most people would be horribly unprepared, regardless of how many guns they have. 90% of people who say they can fight off the zombies will probably die. Zombies are serious sh*t.
My brother and I collect guns, so we've already got a 12 gauge shotgun, two 9mms, .22lr pistol, a .45acp 1911, a .357 sig glock, an ak, an fn fal, and a bolt action 30-06.
Machine guns and a sword. Maybe a few shot guns. They're heavy but have longer range and cause more damage.
