can I play devils advocate for a minute? First I just have to say I think its great that you oc & think its awesome to see that much hardware, personally if I had that much hardware & a wife that would let me I would do the same!
Okay so now for the flip side: a question that almost everyone asks me: why do you need that many rounds? (I always carry 24 rounds, 2- 12round mags). First they notice my XD .40 so they start asking about taht then they notice my extra mag. In talking with these people they always ask are you that scared or paranoid to need that many rounds? I guess their logic is if you can't hit something with 1-5 rounds then there's a problem, & having to be accountable for those bullets in a shooting scenario etc.
I was just curious if it was just for show or like these people are you that paranoid. How many roundsdo you or anyone normally carry?
Personally I am nervousjust having 24rounds let alone more, I get even more nervous with large crowds/people, I'm always watching peoples hands, I've even had to put my hand on my firearm on occasions.I'm comfortable around guns, shooting, but when I'm carrying openly, in public or whatever I get a little nervous...does that make sense?
