I'm disputing that he had ALOT....
Define alot.
Alt....
Last time at his shop before his home..
At least 12 or 13 laying around....
AYOOB is spot on with everything else..
I was a huge fan of his...until he took advantage of my uncle.

I believe in peace, love and extremely violent weapons systems... just in case that whole peace-and-love thing doesn't work out.
Ayoob is good people......he is solid and knows his stuff...
But from my experience at Crimson Trace, he's a little touchy felt with the ladies.

There seems to be support for both strategies.
Keeping a gun on you has the obvious practicality of always being within reach and secure from the unauthorized.
Having to reach for a cached pistol that is close by may have the result of forcing you to move off the line of attack once you choose to act. If you are a target trying not to be hit, movement is often beneficial.
Supplementing the gun being carried with cached guns provides more ammunition (that doesn't have to be carried all the time) and a near-immediate back-up when one gun is disabled (fails, jams or or empties)...and there's that movement thing.
Wasn't there a thread here recently looking for accounts of when a reload was a vital part of a citizen response to being shot at? Lance Thomas has several examples of it potentially being the difference between winning and dying. He chose to use the New-York-reload over a magazine change but it seems to qualify.
I believe after the second attempt I would have found a new business. Good on him for not being ran out but I'd take the hint that I was in the wrong line of work or at least the wrong location.
And I like having a few around the house too, that way if I'm not carrying on my person then I'm not that far off from one.
Lance Thomas issue during those times was basically the background check and also they took his guns after shootings .
I was with my uncle one time and we went shooting at Angeles.
It's funny SteyrAug chimed in but I was shooting my dads AUG and it was Cali RAW properly and he commented that I bet Lance would love that.
End of the day ..he is one of the most fascinating people I have ever met and known.
The circle of people he knew was vast that had their watches and stuff serviced by him.
My favorite incident was he went ballistic on some reseller who supposively had some Rolex, Omega and other parts.
Turns out the parts were fake possibly Chinese...
Ahhh man he went ballistic on the guy delaying several customers having their Rolex repaired.
One time he had a Laker player come in who needed his watch repaired...turns out the entire watch was loaded with fake parts as he used to take it to another watch repair shop in Studio City. He took care of that guy easily..I asked him..why didn't you have his picture or something....
Why? To prove to people I'm not a racist?
At that time...remember the media portrayal of him was pretty bad....
He just didn't care....
At one time...a friend of his told him he could legally do an SBS or AOW in California...and he knows a gun shop in Glendale who can do it. He kinda brushed it off as too much paperwork.
Interesting guy....

Interesting caliber choices - the more gun fights the more high-capacity duty calibers...
Seems Ayoob didn't personally interview him and had to rely on source material. I first learned about Thomas in a documentary called "America Under the Gun" and he talked about having a firearm within two feet of wherever he was in the store. I don't think Ayoob intended to suggest otherwise, only noting that things began with less.
Given that Thomas seemed to not be interested in reloading that would suggest LOTS of firearms.

Some folks are wired different. When you work your ass off to build something from nothing, that kind of person is less willing to surrender any of it. It might not be practical or logical, but sometimes it gets really personal and certain types are willing to go "all in" because they already have everything invested.
Some guys will hand over a thousand dollars in a robbery but will fight to the death over "dads watch" or a wedding ring.
