I used tackle box loosely. It'll be kept in the house when its not in my flyfishing vest or pack.
I owned several 40s, even had a 357Sig. Won't own another. I've been looking at the g2c for a while. Shot a friends quite a bit. Heck of a gun for the money. I also like the mk 3 idea for a 22. Probably even heavier than the G2 or lc9.

I also had the cz-52, and i think i'ld take the old Makarov first.

If I didnt like my S&W model 37 so much i'ld just pack it.

A rational person would just grab a 22 for snakes and squirrels. That would pretty well cover it.
