Sorry I was so brief. Perhaps I should have written "a mag gives you more options".The Annoyed Man wrote:The choice to carry a pistol but not a spare magazine doesn't make you a sheep. That was kind of un-called for. That said, I always carry a spare, or a speedloader if I'm carrying a revolver—for mechanical reliability reasons as mentioned above for my semi-autos, and because my carry revolvers are 5-shot snubbies. But, I rarely carry a second backup magazine/speedloader, the exception being when I use a shoulder holster.fulano wrote:Options. A sheep has no options.
No carry (of a gun) is a sheep.
Every piece of tactical gear is another option. A spare mag is an option.
I carry a gun, a mag, a knife, cord, and usually a light. Each gives me more options.
There is a limit. For me its where I am or where I'm going. In town I carry the above. If I'm in the back country, I carry a pack with lots and lots of options...even a dry pair of underware
