Oh Crap-Gear

Some thoughts on gear selection, remember what you have with you is what you'll have to fight with, home in the safe won't be of much use.

For short trips to town etc, I carry my HP or a 1911, and some spare ammo, and a blade or 2, and my Surefire, there is always a "72 hour" hour pack in the car, and an ammo bag.
For longer trips I add a Car-15, mags, and another fullsize handgun, one or 2 more lights, and spare batteries, etc, in a stealth gun case in the trunk. For trips out of state etc a pump action shotgun and a mix of Shot, Buck, and slugs are added to the mix
