ccw firearm exchanged.
my favorite ccw carry firearm has been a S&W md 60 in .38 spl, but with the way things are going in the country I has started carrying a glock 22 in .40 S&W with extra magazine for the extra firepower, for flashmobs-civil unrest. mr myopic.

Depending on the exact area I'm working possibly an AR with 3 mags behind the seat and sometimes a BOB with 5 empty mags and 200 rounds of AR ammo. It doesn't cost me anything to haul the stuff around so why not have it if needed.
Not select fire so not an "assault rifle". In fact, even if it was a select fire rifle, it could legally be carried in the back window gun rack w/o issue.
Re: the original post
If I'm going to carry a gun, it's going to be adequate for any circumstance I might expect to encounter. That's why I don't carry a mouse gun, a 5 shot, or anything that will fit in my pants pocket.
I live in a state where it would be legal to carry an AR 15 on a sling in public but I don't. Too upsetting for some individuals.
Why? Because like many others I've learned the concept of concealed carry is far more attractive than the reality of it. I put my P226 on when I leave the house, and have to take it off when I get to work. If I'm going out to lunch, I have to find out if where we're going serves alcohol or has some other business or regulatory prohibition against carrying. All the while I can't wear it it's sitting in the car where there's about a 1,000's times more likely chance of getting stolen than I am of getting attacked while its on me.
After a couple of weeks of carrying, the reality of lugging around 2.5 pounds of metal and dealing with all the on and offs and having to worry about the car being broken into, all to be prepared for an event that is almost as likely as getting hit by lightning just didn't make sense to me. There's lots of folks who are in high-risk areas or jobs, but for most people it's a PITA more than a benefit.
