It is absolutely a personal choice. I guess who you put more confidence in and life experiences.
With my experiences I choose to always carry reloads and a lot of times a second gun. My prayer is I never again have to use either one of them ever again.
It is a lot like those who carry a gun and they know they could never use a firearm to protect them or anyone else. Best thing is NOT to carry.

Re: How Many Reloads Should A Private Citizen Carry?
I use to always carry a back up and many times still do. I heard Clint smith say one time that your back up should be just a large or larger than your primary gun. Well my back ups have always been smaller, but by no means mouse guns.

Re: How Many Reloads Should A Private Citizen Carry?
I have been in one gun fight in 1986 or 1987 in Upshur County Texas. I have pulled my pistol on two different occasions after LE. I may be the exception, but I have met many folks who were involved in gunfights and I have never heard them say. “I just had too much extra ammo.” I have and always will carry at least one reload as a 1911 guy I usually have two.
