Going back to carrying a BUG

[MountainRaven]

We're considering a second pistol carrying concealed?

I think for law enforcement this is a serious consideration. They, unlike us, have to be able to close in and handle violent people and arrest them. A back up pistol is good nowadays not for a New York reload, because of the vastly increased capacity of modern guns, but in case their primary gets snatched. Then they may need the backup desperately.

Us ordinary packin' folk have no reasonable likelihood of that happening. If we have to reach for a back up pistol, we should have carried another magazine.

Three things:

1- OP is a LEO.
B- You're wrong about the, "reasonability," of having a primary carry pistol snatched.
III- A second gun can be used to arm a loved one or friend, in the event that a gun is needed and they didn't bring theirs (for whatever reason).
