As for carrying a gun, I carrry a Bersa .308 on every bike ride...

 
Bersa .380

How many times did you have to look that up?

Only once, to make sure my memory was accurate.  I only provided a
minimal correction and left out my usual detailed comments, references
and of course URL's because I was in a hurry to go somewhere.

I knew .308 was wrong because .308 Winchester is a hunting rifle round
and is not normally used in small pistols.  To be fair, I've seen bolt
action pistols that use rifle ammunition.  I'm told they have a rather
strong kick. 

Compare the cartridge sizes:

".308 Winchester"
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.308_Winchester>
Overall length:  2.800 in (71.1 mm)

".380 ACP"
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.380_ACP>
Overall length:  0.984 in (25.0 mm)

Of course, you're going to ask where I obtained carnal knowledge of
firearms and ammunition.  You then will probably claim that I obtained
my knowledge via a Google search or from a book.  To save you the
trouble, I'll answer now.  It's none of your business.
