42. If there were an AED the size of a 1911, yes I absolutely would carry one.

Not that I carry a 1911 these days, just saying.

I guess I sort of do carry one as CPR and first aid cards (yes I know it's not the same, more an illustrative point), and what first aid stuff I carry...couple of gauze pads and packet of QR take up about the same space in my wallet as a condom and I'm far more likely to need the former. A firearm is debatably part of "being prepared", but it's not the entirety of being prepared by any means.
