Not "near zero" but 5% over all. How do you know which one you are gonna be in? I will still carry a reload, whether it is for when I think the fight is over or to stay in the fight. It is all well and good, but it takes little effort to carry a reload.

I agree....I'm not sure of the OP's point in posting that. If there's a 5% chance of needing more than 8 rounds, that's more than enough reason to carry the spare. To me, it's just lazy to not have backup ammo. I wouldn't bet my life on 95%.

Keep in mind that having a large cap or spare mag may be used against you in a court of law.

Only if you're in one of the communist states that has a limit on magazine capacity or total rounds carried on your person. In Michigan there is no limit on either, nor is there a limit on how many guns you can carry.
