If you don’t already have one, get one of those small/tiny pistols (32, 380, 22lr revolver, etc) so you always have something with you. I understand leaving your regular CCW in a drawer when taking the dog out for a quick walk, but now isn’t the time.
Always pack some kind of equalizer.
Yeh don’t I know it. Never leave home without a gun. At least until further notice. :-)
