Before the boating accident, I used to keep a Pink youth Rossi .410 single-shot in the car sometimes. I work in Maryland, so that was the least likely thing to land me in Baltimore City central booking if found. It was still likely to deter one attacker, maybe two, long enough for me to get away. If there are more than that, and no other good guys are armed, I'm probably a goner anyway.

Something like this...
