You should carry a gun instead of apples and oranges...


Personally, I carry a semi (Shield, 9mm) but I am considering getting a 442/642 or LCR to carry in a small fanny pack when we go out walking at night. We live in a rural area, and there are loose dogs and even coyotes roaming about...we like to walk our small dogs, and I worry more about them being attacked than I do us. I've been going over various options for this, including a LCP/BG380, but the main reason I am considering a small revolver is so I can load a couple of rounds of snake shot...which pretty much rules out a small semi. I prefer a semi, but there are some applications for which a revolver is better.
