Oddball question from a lifelong Okie, new member, long time lurker.Should I carry a second gun in remote places? If so, what should it be? I carry a 380 now.I spend a good deal of time in rural areas of oklahoma. Like remote-remote places and I'm often going it alone. For a city kid, this is as remote as it gets. Generally more than an hour from the closest emergency services and regularly outside cell services. Since I'm not a large guy and I often have expensive gear with me, I always carry a p238 with a round in the chamber. I've had to fire it at packs of dogs 3 times and thankfully, my shots have never hurt the dogs but driven them away, which is the idea when theres a distance. I love dogs and simply want to be un-bitten.so why would I want to carry anything else? Recently, several friends, family members, and a few talkative strangers have recommended carrying a second pistol for what they deemed more dangerous parts of the state. One friend told me he would keep a shotgun in the car for SHTF moments if he were me, And enough strange encounters like strangers following me for miles and miles and  friends have suggested this that I'm considering it. So, do you think I should carry a second arm? What would it be? I've considered a second 380, since I already have that ammo, but more stopping power might be nice. 9 mm? .40? 5.56 pistol? Semi-auto Shotgun? If you have one you're trying to sell and a compelling case on adding this to my rural carry, lmk</blockquote>
