If I know bad winter weather is coming and I have to be on the road, I'm going to throw a sleeping bag, extra clothing, flash light, food and water in the trunk. The handgun I would bring with me would be my XDM 9mm that holds 19+1 rounds, plus two additional 19 round magazines. That's a total of 58 rounds. Realistically, I can't think of a likely crisis scenario where that wouldn't be more than enough. I feel sorry for the folks along the east coast who are hunkered down in their homes with no firearms and looters roaming their neighborhoods. But the right of self-defense is the main reason I choose to live in a state which respects the Second Amendment.
