I'm not really looking for protection. I need to hunt and survive when the Zombies come and I head into the wilderness. Deer squirrel occasional intruder
Savage made a neat little over/under combo gun Model 24. 1 barrel shotgun other barrel rimfire or centerfire rifle and a couple medium bore pistol rounds. They don't weigh nothin', shoot well, and break down. Probably hard to find the larger calibers, 22LR is the most common. I have one in the closet myself, 22 over 20ga.
