I’m thinking folding knife, sheath knife, non-tactical earth-toned clothing according to the weather, a rifle with maybe a shoulder bag containing several extra mags… maybe a pistol and one extra mag. Not too cumbersome. If I were doing work outside I might forgo the rifle in favor of just a side-arm… or have the rifle in close proximity.
I do have soft armor and would consider wearing it when ‘going to town’ was necessary should the environment warrant it. (I might would wear it now if I had to make a trip into the city at night for some reason)
As for concealed carry, there might be good reason to carry concealed depending on how things shake out. Open carry could make you a target, depending on who the ‘heavy hitters’ are in the area… and there will be some.
