[size=12pt] I have a Rossi SS .38 spec, from when I lived in Mobile and then Montgomery. Never had to pull it, but driving through certain areas it was nice to know it was there. Simple to use and carry.

Here's what I carry.

Also have to worry about other states laws when traveling.

States That Honor The Alabama Pistol Permit
Alaska, Arizona, Arkansas, Colorado, Florida, Georgia,
Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi,
Missouri, New Hampshire, North Dakota, North Carolina,
Oklahoma, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Vermont

[Note: all law abiding citizens may carry a firearm in the
open or concealed. No permit or license required],
Wyoming.

Up here in Liberal-topia there is no legal concealed carry or open carry. I see gun shops advertising that UT and FL permits can be obtained by out of staters at classes taught at their range. Anyone know the comparative merits of one versus the other?

I recommend the Taurus TCP .380 automatic. It weighs only 9 oz. unloaded and is very easy to conceal. It is almost identical to the Ruger LCP, BUT the slide locks open after the last round allowing faster reloading. Just pop in a fresh magazine, hit the slide release, and you are back in business. My son carries one in a "wallet holster" in his back pocket. You actually fire the gun in the holster. Sounds awkward but it actually works very well. Looks just like a wallet in his pocket. Make sure whatever you buy is comfortable to carry, because if it is not you will leave it at home. Might as well buy a large frame with more bang if you aren't going to carry it. That's my opinion and I'm sticking to it.

I'm about to buy a Kimber Ultra Carry II - .45 ACP
Had one several years ago and sold it - much to my dismay.
Sweetest shooting, most accurate pistol I've ever shot. And that covers a fair amount of territory. There is a reason the .45 has been around since 1872. Very effective at stopping critters of both 2 and 4 legged variety.
If I'm not able to conceal a bigger pistol, I have a Beretta .25 auto that slips into my front pocket. Choice of last resort as effective range is about 4'.
FWIW - bedside piece is a Remington Model 870 12 ga, whacked off to 18" bbl w/ 5 round extender. Gives me 7 in the mag and 1 in the pipe of #4 Buck

I have 3 that I like to carry depending on the weather and what I am wearing....but always try and avoid places that I might need them....with that said....sig-sauer sl .380...lcp-.380....Taurus millennium pro 45(in the winter)....in the woods, at my cabin..... always my glock 22 (40 cal.)
I have 2 permits....one for Ohio...and the other from Utah were it covers Alabama and 10 other states(that the Ohio doesn't).... on my travels....did an FBI background check for that one, and very extensive

and pray I never need to use them!!!!
