I have a few questions about back up guns first off a little about me I just got into pistols recently I purchased my first pistol just about 3 weeks ago I like it a lot but believe I'm going to purchase a 1911 for concealed carry I fired a few and loved them. Now in the heat of the moment a lot of things can happen to where maybe I could be disarmed or just flat out miss or whatever it may be.would any of you guys be able to tell me if a second pistol carried on you I legal in minnesota? Do any of you carry a back up if so what do you choose to carry and how do you carry it? What are the pros and cons of carrying a second pistol? To you guys that choose not to carry a second why not? Me personally I believe the odds of me ever needing to use a pistol outside of my home in a self defense situation is less than 20% and even less of ever needing a back up but 20% is plenty enough for me to carry but where do you draw the line? When is it overkill? I believe as long as the second weapon is small enough deeply concealed it can't hurt to have it just in case. Have at it guys and thanks for your opinions and advice ahead of time.
