If I carried one, it would probably be a short AR or braced PCC. Unfortunately with driving the kids places and working in DC and MD on an almost daily basis, I don't carry a gun with me at all. The irony of needing one most in the places you aren't allowed to have one...

I go with a PTR 9KT with a folding brace, holosun optic, in a Condor triangluar backpack (gray, no MOLLE attachments so it doesn't scream "There's a gun in here!")

I carry a Sig MPX-K in a north face messenger bag. Nothing screams I have a gun in this bag than a tactical bag with a bunch of molle all over it. I don’t keep it in my vehicle overnight, just when I am driving. I only carry one 30rd mag, I figure if I need more than that I probably should GTFO! I only carry what I am willing to trust my life with!

I thought of both of those and I think they make sense. What about a 'short' shotgun, braced or pistol grip?
I seriously avoid going to either DC or MD as much as possible. Would likely have it in a non-descript bag I take in/out just in case. Shotguns are great within certain parameters, but maybe not precise enough for this application. Plus limits in capacity, etc. Really like my Suarez Tac-14, but wouldn't be ideal for a truck gun. Thinking rifle caliber is ideal in the .30 cal range, Blackout or 7.62x39 in whatever platform you prefer. I hate AKs, and the new Bren 2 looks pretty awesome. Might be getting one soon to try. Second to that a short .45 or 9mm like the MPX mentioned above or Scorpion. (Had an MPX, unreliable POS for me. Sold it, have a Scorpion pistol and bullpup and recommend them highly).

Gunfire always attracts attention. This can make a bad situation much worse.
I carry a 45 caliber SBR with a suppressor. Like a MAC 10. Very effective and virtually silent.

Goodness,you boys live in some rough neighborhoods! took an assesment of what is in the truck,and the list is as follows: 80# draw short bow/six arrows Collins 24" machete Romanian break barrel .177 air rifle w/tin of pellets slingshot with bag of .32 cal. lead balls
..... and my favorite,the self defence tool that raises no questions,a full-size Vaughn framing hammer with hickory handle. Sure,you can "strap up"as hard as you want.But why bother,if you get caught with your pants down,you caught!

I base my decisions on past experience.
In other words... of the last 20 times I've drawn a weapon what has been the purpose and was that weapon the correct choice.
Hit a deer at night in a rural area and need to dispatch the injured animal out of kindness...
Shoot a coyote that is attacking the neighbor's dog...
Three guys assaulting a young girl and I felt obliged to intervene...
Carry whatever you like based on your experiences.

If I knew what I was going to encounter which required a gun, I probably wouldn't go there. As it happens, I'm a son of God, not God, so I try to be ready just in case.
