How many guns do you carry

[Keith]

I carry one XD45/Xd40 or S&W 10 mm. I carry spare mag for all of them. I have been thinking alot lately about a second gun. Im not sure what caliber as it must be a small gun. Ive looked at derringers and now at .380 and revolver in 38. Alot of the smaller guns are not that small when you hold them and feel them. Ill keep looking.

I only carry one...and no reloads (though I do have them in the car). I ain't Chuck Norris...If there's a fight I won't be hunkering down behind a car door exchanging fire. I'll be running away firing wildly and screaming like a little girl.

Wait, I thought that was SOP. No?

Know thyself. I can relate.

I carry ( on my person) either my Glock .40 cal or my Glock .45 cal and when in shorts etc. I carry a Kel Tec .32 ACP.
In my truck I have a Taurus .38 with +P wadcutters and 2 speed loaders down in the drivers side door area. In the Mercedes I have a S&W9VE. Yes I carry, have loaded spare magazines for all.
Also in the truck I have a loaded ready to go AK47 7.62X39 under the rear seat. It has a red dot scope and 150 lumen flashlight on a pressure switch mounted to the front grip. 2 30 round magazines coupled with one in the pipe give me 61 rounds at the ready ( I hate hogs and have declared feral hog jihad :) ).....
In the house I have more AK's in 7.62 and .223 setup the same as described above except the .223 is scoped and has a bi-pod mounted on the front rails.
And of course many more rifles/shotguns and pistols.
Everything gets shot at least twice a year...cleaned and oiled.....
I have a minimum of a few hundred rounds for every gun and well over a thousand rounds for each AK.

I'll be sure to give plenty of warning before approaching, should we meet.

In all seriousness, why AK's? When I was cross training at Bragg I qualified with the AK. It was tough, reliable and would sling a lot down range in a hurry BUT was not terribly accurate...IIRC.

I carry a 23 on my person 99.5 % of the time, a Model 36 otherwise, and a Security Six in the glove box.

There are so many variables out there calling themselves AK's. I only buy/mod the SAIGA's. I dont know which AK you shot nor what ammo you used...but the SAIGA's with crap Russian ammo shoot lights out...now the 7.62 round is the worse...but the .308 and .223 are right there with any AR platform....when I say crap I mean maybe 2" groups out at about 150 yards...
But I will admit to not being a bench shooting paper puncher...but shooting hogs and deer mainly...and when I do target shoot it is free hand at human size targets....the AK doesnt miss.....Most importantly....(go back in the way back time machine here)...my M16 wasn't anything to write home about.....jam-o-matic...trying to keep that thing clean so it would operate was a PITA.....AK's you can drop em in the mud...rinse them off in the river and keep firing....
I have a Glock 36 myself...I put the Peirce+1 extension and a Wolff 10% spring...love that .45 :)

I carry 2. Walther PPS 40cal IWB and Ruger LCP in the pocket.

[frazzled]

Not a criticism. For those who carry two at the same time, whats the reasoning?

Kimber Ultra Crimson Carry II in warm weather (60% of the time) - Para GI Expert the rest of the time. One at a time.

My main carry is my Walther PPS 40cal. because I feel more comfortable carrying a caliber that I feel is capable for most situations (not that smaller ones are not capable). It just puts my mind at ease. I also carry the LCP in my front right pocket because having my hand in my pocket with my hands around the weapon looks natural and sometimes I feel that being able to draw from my pocket has its advantages. Also, I like knowing that I have a BUG should one fail. That's just me.

[DONT TREAD ON ME]

I only carry the one (SA 1911 Gov.) with 2x spare 7 round mags.

I pocket-carry the LCP everywhere it's legal. But I carry the Sigma .40 whenever I can. (I like sweater weather more than I used to!)

The LCP lives in the strong-side front pocket when it's alone. It moves to the weak side as a BUG when I have the .40.

I carry a spare mag for the LCP in my back pocket. It prints like a lighter or USB thumb drive. That gives me 13 rounds. The .40 is already 14+1, but I'll sometimes carry a spare mag with it. (With only 13 rounds because it rattles annoyingly with 14.)

Good grief, that's 41 rounds! I hope the only place I ever need that many is at the range.

I don't "carry on my person" two at a time...but I think the reasoning is this...
1) Bad Guy takes your primary weapon away
2) Your primary weapon fails
This is why I keep a separate gun in both cars.....and carry my primary

[PappaGun]

One at a time. Either the G 27 or xd 45. Still haven't found what I think is the best combination of weight, capacity, concealment etc. That's the good part about CHL! So many toys to try and buy. No honey, I don't think that ones quite right. I'm gonna try something else.

That's what my wife tells me every time she drags me shoe shopping.

I carry two sometimes. I would probably carry two at all times if I had a better ankle rig for my S&W 642 Airweight (BUG). The one I have slides down too easily and gets uncomfortable.

One day I carried all 4 of my handguns on a trip to Walmart/Home Depot (1 strong side IWB, one weak side OWB, one ankle, and one in a cross-draw shoulder holster. no jacket; just an un-tucked button down shirt) It was rather uncomfortable, but no one was any the wiser. This was out of curiosity, not necessity.
