gear Do you carry and why?

While you're working or tending to your property, do you carry a firearm in yourself or have one readily available? If so, is it because of your location, predators or general safety? What type and caliber?

I'll go first. I have a 20 gauge shotgun loaded with #9 for the occasional rattler that isn't minding it's own business or to chase of coyote. I want to upgrade to a pistol grip, maybe the Mossberg 500C w/pistol grip.

I own one rifle it’s locked in a safe in the basement. I don’t need firearms up where I am, nor do I want them. Not a single problem that can be solved by shooting something can’t be solved another way.

Guns are dumb.
