How many of y'all carry extra magazines on your person?

Yes I always carry a spare mag. To me it is less about needing extra ammo and more about having a backup in case something goes wrong with the first mag. Though extra ammo is nice too.

Really? The whole state?

...no, I don't think so.

I do get down to "the heartland of al-Shabab's American recruiting grounds", otherwise known as "Minneapolis", every couple of months. I'll likely carry a gun as I often have in the past. Probably skip the extra magazines though and just stay away from the terrorist hangouts.

I carry at least one reload depending upon where I am going.

Yep, always one extra mag.

Depends. If I carry my Glock 19 then no extra mag. If my Springfield XDS 9' then I throw an extra mag in my pocket.

I have a good imagination. I can fantasize about protracted firefights as well as anybody here, I suspect. Where that falls down, for me, is the reality of applying that fantasy to my real life.

You can look at it the other way as well. It might suggest you are a bit overconfident that a scenario will cooperate with how you envision it.

But since you are totally unaware of my lifestyle and location, you really wouldn't have a clue about that, would you?
