I carry 2 spare mags for the same reason that I (a non-smoker) also carry:
(1) a rechargeable butane lighter/torch, a high quality pocket knife, a good strong pocket flashlight, a tourniquet, and a cellphone on my person; and
(2) a pair of binoculars, an IFAK, something to eat, writing materials and spare glasses, a large fixed-blade knife, a multi tool, other sundries, and water bottles in my 24 Hr pack; and
(3) a case of water bottles, a light chest rig with spare mags for rifle and pistol and an admin pouch, a bivvy sack and woobie (sleeping bag during winter), a well-stocked STOMP bag, a spare pair of boots, a camp stove, etc., etc. in the back of my vehicle.
Need to see pix of this setup in a different thread, maybe? I'm waaaaaaay behind, but have some things with me just as a matter of course - it also depends on where I'm going and *how* I'm getting there (ie - flying to Chicagoland - if I'm carryon only I've got my tactical pen and a flashlight, if I'm checking a bag then I've got a great blade too along with a torch and cigars of course, if I'm driving...well, you know...).
