My line of work takes me, and often my wife, into some pretty rough back country, and often into some pretty bad neighborhoods. I keep gear in the vehicle for both of us that depends on the weather we may encounter, and enough food for two or three days. I also carry a Single shot H&R barreled for 20 gauge, with a swap out .308 barrel, a Ruger Single Six in .22LR/WMR,...and an old H&R 9 shot .22 LR,.....all locked and cased,...in addition to both of our CCW pieces accessable,......figure that oughta be enuff......
