I'm fairly new to cc but have become diligent about always having a firearm with me. Wondering how many people actually carry a spare magazine with them?? Just curious thanks.
Do whatever you're comfortable with; I don't see the point of arguing over the appropriate amount of ammo/mags because it's such a subjective topic. Just having a gun on you (and being ready/trained with it) makes you more prepared than 99% of people.
I always have a gallon of water, some food, and emergency supplies in my car. Should I upgrade to three gallons, a weeks worth of food, and a trauma kit?
Someone once said I don't remember who:
The average gun fight requires three rounds.....????
But I don't think they were talking about Chicago..........:faint:
Always at least one reload. Very rarely, a second.
Magazine failure is the weakest link in any semi-auto pistol. I'd hate to have the base plate fail on my magazine or have a gun malfunction where a fresh magazine is needed. Any type 3 malfunction. Secondarily, I'd hate to have to use my firearm in self defense in a potentially hostile environment holding an empty (or nearly empty) weapon while waiting for LE to show up.
A spare magazine weighs only a few ounces. For me it helps to balance the weight carried. I can think of no reason not to carry one. Even when I carry a revolver, I put at least one speed strip in a pocket.

Depends. I usually do, but if I'm carrying a high capacity gun I may not. Low power, like a .380 or less than 10 rounds and I'm probably carrying a spare.
One spare mag always. If you can't get out of a bad situation with two mags then you probably should have brought your AR.
