Maybe, it depends on the factors, ie...# of BG's, their motivation, who is in your care & their ability to move or fight etc... . The option could prove valuable to have.

So, on your own (with no immediate back-up & possible 911 back-up) you need less rounds?

There's a lot of assumptions there that may not pan out.
Just what kind of deadly force issue was he thinking about?

I just really would like to know the break down on the number of folks that consider a carry weapon for self defense or for a gun fight!

How much difference is there between the two?

It seems like most people responding carry 1 extra mag. with a few carrying 2. If they carry a high cap gun, then 1 spare bumps their total over your 30 round comfort ceiling.
