How many guns do you carry for CCW?

Just one for me..Springfield XD9 subcompact.
I am working on getting an SP101 .357mag.. for more carry options and possible BUG if ever I need it(not likely)
 
just one for now as a civilian...but when I hit the streets as a patrolmen later this summer, I intend on at least 2
 
I normally only carry my SIG 220 with one extra magazine, but that's more for convenience than anything. I have though, on occasion also had my SIG 238 in a pocket holster, as well.
 
I only carry one: 9mm XD SC. I carry multiple mags, so I should be able to contend with most situations should they arrise.
 
XD9mm SC in a IWB at the 5pm position, .38 special S&W Bodyguard on a left ankle carry. Reason for 2, if the XD locks up the revolve is a backup. Carry 1-2 extra magazines for the XD all of them are 16 round.
 
I pocket carry a Kel Tec p3at every day due to the need to deep conceal at work but at night and weekends I carry one of 3 larger carry guns and just keep the pocket gun there at all times. So I guess my answer is one or two depending on the time/day of the week.
 
always one, usually two, occasionally three...

always one, usually two, occasionally three...

i always carry either my Colt New Agent 1911, or my Keltec PF9

or usually i carry both, as the colt is in a shoulder rig and the keltec in the belt with a belt clip

three on the rarest occasion, more because im trying out different carry options, than out of some paranoia


i always have two when im working at the gunsmith or in the retail shop,


when i carry my colt, in its shoulder rig, i carry two extra mags on the other side of the rig- i do this more out of weight distribution than the "NEED" of having 22 rounds.

I always carry one spare mag in my pocket for the Keltec- when i carry the PF9 of course

with or without the colt i do some times carry my sp101 in my back pocket instead of the keltec, but no extra rounds because its hard to carry extra speed loaders and not look bulky

Huh? Guns malfunction, weapons get dropped/knocked/taken away.

Exactly my point. If you're not training for those situations with your primary carry, then IMO, you should take the money you would pay for a BUG and buy ammo for your primary, and practice, practice, practice. Get good at clearing malfunctions and weapon retention. Sharpen up your situational awarness while you're at it. JMO.
 
It depends on the gig. Working police are most likely to need a backup. A regular Joe or Jane ought to make do with one--a good one. Be proficient with it, and forget it's there until you need it.
 
When I carry - 1.

I'm not a cop so I don't go contact people who might want to wrestle me. And I go to bed at 9 o'clock, long before the goblins are generally out and about :-)

(can't carry at work nor park on their property with a gun in the car so.... too bad for me.)
 
73 never know when they will fail...... course never had anyone try to mug me..... no dark alleys...... but I did see a utube about a coyote was attacking a guys boot.....
 
One is none, Two is one and three is not enough

"Be polite, be professional, but have a plan to kill everyone you meet."
 
I only carry one gun at a time/with one reload, I am not a cop, thank God (to old and fat). :)

I carry when ever I legally can, and when not at work (stupid rules), but after 25 years I am not about to give up that gig just yet.
 
Two at all times
