I am Retired and live in the Toolies, ie the Country.
My EDC is a Wilson Compact X Tac 1911 in 45 ACP, I also EDC a Freedom Arms 22 Mag Mini Revolver with 4 22 Mag CCI shotshells, for snakes.
I carry these 100% of the time, when at home.
When I leave my Place and go to Town, I load the 22 Mag with HP ammo, and add a S&W 38 Special Bodyguard to my EDC.
Sometimes I substitute other handguns as a primary, when traveling to a certain kind of hunt, ie bears, etc. But I always carry the S&W Bodyguard, and the FA 22 Mag. When on the road I also take the extra 22 LR cylinder for the FA Mini Revolver.
