Most people that carry a second pistol do it for reasons like they expect they might be disarmed and this second gun allows them to wait their turn and strike back (think undercover cops doing drug buys). If you are worried about your primary gun going down or not having enough ammo then you should carry a spare magazine. Actually, if you carry a gun you should have  a spare magazine any way not just for the added ammo capacity but because many malfunctions (on a clean and otherwise serviceable gun) are magazine-related.If in your scenario wild animals are a concern then just upgrading your primary gun to something like a .357 or 10mm would be sufficient.I carry an AR in a safe in my truck at all times with micro chest rig. This adds so much capability to address everything from a Mad Max SHTF get home from out of town scenario to getting a call from my wife as I'm on my way home to say someone just kicked in the front door and I want to go in there with more than a pistol in my hand if I can.I think the thing to do is consider what is likely and what is very unlikely but catastrophic if it were to occur and decide what level of risk you can live with. Also, ask yourself if you honestly have the training and ability to do anything about it. I know guys that say things like "I won't go there because I can't bring a gun" yet they are literally useless with one. They couldn't hit the broad side of a barn from inside the barn let alone get the gun out of their cheap holster they've never practiced a draw from. If this is you fix it.</blockquote>
