I carry 6 (11 rounds) + 1 in the pistol minimum daily, and 1 in the Chamber = 78

I thought you always carried 133 rounds daily.
Oh, and how do you carry that many?

I will probably get a lot of flack for this but........Myself, I carry a 9mm with 18rnd mag.
My first thought is I hope I NEVER have to draw to begin with. Second, like hunting, if you need more than 2 or 3 shots at the most------- YOU ARE IN OVER YOUR HEAD---
Retreat and call 911.
That is just 1 extra mag for some weapons basically...I sometimes shake my head at some of the responses like people carrying 40+ rounds.
Most of us carry high capacity pistols so the numbers seem sort of wacky and many of us carry an extra mag more for a backup mag rather than for the extra ammo. If you look at the poll results in the two threads I linked to above you will see:I carry a speedloader for my SP101 .357Mag. I sometimes forget the speedloader but still feel comfortable with or without. I sometimes shake my head at some of the responses like people carrying 40+ rounds. I think, my gosh, what do they anticipate a firefight? I mean really, unless you live in Bagdad or having flashbacks of Vietnam why all the ammunition?
Screw 'em. It's still better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.Hey guys keep in mind that is you ever have to use your weapon inSD the DAmay try to argue in court that you have malicious intent for carrying so many rounds, and possibly argue your BUG is intended for malicious intent. I read a account of a guy that went to prison for carrying extra mags because the DA convinced the jury of malicious intent.
I know it is jacked up, but I can see it happening. The same article said if that man which was on trial would have had a better attorney he could have won the case, by stating that most CPL holders imitate LEO's that’s why we carry more ammo. The article also told of stories when CPL holders had to reload their pistol, and that we should carry extra rounds, but we should be ready to justify the extra rounds.
