You'll need a servicable handgun (9mm/.38 Spl or larger), a concealment style holster (no cross-draw, 'small of back', drop leg or shoulder holsters), 3 magazines or 4 speed loaders/moon clips, mag/speed loader/moon clip pouches, a concealement garment (vest or jacket), eye and hearing protection and 150-200 rounds of ammo.
