My agency only issues 56 rounds of duty 5.56 ammo. 62gr gold dot. So any extra ammo used, while it may save lives, is on my head.

I already have a hit vest b/c of my assignment. But I also have a ditch bag. Ammo, water, batteries grease pencil, basic 1st aid...stuff like that.

6 AR magazines is a lot in my opinion...for me. But I would not begrudge a fellow LEO for carrying it.
