I would suggest that your primary CCW weapon 9mm and up with a few spare magazines would suffice for local travel. Lots of people envision that the mass waves of murders will ascend upon them as soon as the shit hits the fan. More likely the observant person seeing police and fire units rushing to wards a certain direction would prompt one to turn on the local radio station or were legal a police/fire scanner to hear whats happening in your area.
If suddenly the shit is going to drop right in your lap while driving I would suggest that it would be very unlikely for someone to stop when already armed with a CCW pistol to assemble a long gun on a township or city street to engage that threat.
Now if one is at work and is legally able to keep a long gun in their vehicle I could see having it ride shotgun on their travels home but if some how you were stopped by the police I would follow all police commands and keep both my hands outside the drivers side window and inform that officer of both my long gun and pistol.
With the above said I would personally just drive out of the area asap and only if absolutely necessary address any real threat which could cause me serious bodily harm or death with my pistol. After the engagement if it were safe to wait for the police I would do so but if it appeared another threat to my person was about to occur but I had time to safely relocate I would vacate the area to a nearby place of safety and call police to report the incident.
Now laws vary from county to county, state to state so check what is legally permissive were you live or travel.
