I haven't dove hunted for 55 years and then used a 20 Ga. Back then, all I had was a single shot my dad let us use.

Re: Concealed Carry

Yes, if I have pants or a robe on, I have a handgun. At least a J-frame in .22 MAG up to a .44 MAG, and normally, there is a long gun close. In this country, I have, but on rare occasions, shot critters.
