That's definitely the way to think. First time I had heard anyone say that an extra mag would be used against me in court if I had to defend myself. That's why I posted it here. Figured most people here feel the same as we do and would get a chuckle. Not sure where he got those "Statistics" from but I think I will take my chances and keep carrying extra mags.

Good information, only one quibble: the “spare magazine” meme is overkill for most people. Statistics show that most non-LEOs end an encounter well within five rounds. If you carry a gun with a 10-17 round mag, having an extra on hand can be too easily painted by prosecutors as “going out looking for trouble.” Yes, mags can fail, but a mag carried in a gun is more protected from damage than one carried in a pouch."

Good article. I couldn't help but read the comments below the article and one caught my attention. I didn't realize carrying a spare mag meant you were looking for trouble.
