Thanks.

You’re right about the knife, but you need to be careful about what kind of knife, and where you try to go with it. If you’re anywhere near government buildings, you’ll have the knife taken away. I’d also prefer not to ever be in a knife fight...I KNOW that I won’t be as good as anyone who is likely to attack me with one, and wounds from knives can be a whole lot harder to survive or recover from. I’d prefer to do what Sean Connery did in “The Untouchables,” and make fun of the guy for bringing a knife to a gun fight after I shot him.

I’m thinking about a “trunk gun” - a semi-auto rifle like an SKS or AK, or a very cheap AR. It’d be a BIG help when out in the middle of nowhere. Any number of people far more skilled and knowledgeable than me have said that the primary purpose of a pistol is to fight your way to your rifle, and I’m not going to second-guess them. Just having it may make it unnecessary to use it - NOBODY wants to attack someone with a rifle and a 30-round mag hanging below it.
