My primary carry gun is a S&W shield c9, 8 round magazine. Came with an 8 round and a 7 round. bought an extra 8 rd when I bought the gun. I also have a Ruger P89 I carry once in a while, it has a 15 round magazine. Places I go don't generally have gangs or mafia groups or even Antifa or BLM waiting to do you in. What they do have is sick jerks that will use a gun to intimidate you to rob you but they are few and far between. I live about 120 mi from Portland, Ore. I never go there anymore! If for some reason I had to, I would carry the Ruger with a spare magazine, maybe two! I believe that it's easier to avoid trouble than fight your way out of it at least less dangerous. I spent 30 yrs driving road truck's mostly refers and have been into every hell hole in the US. Do it enough and you learn to survive! Never but one time pulled out a gun in those days, Union strike in Illinois and made to mistake of stopping and asking direction from one of them. Never did that again and just the sight of the gun stopped the guy in his tracks.
If you want to carry three back up guns I think your paranoia has got the better of you. Even if you lived in a place like Portland, Ore I'm certain the time you have trouble will be when you go looking for it. The idea that you have a right to go pretty much where you please is right but do it in the wrong place and you just may get into something you'd rather not have got into!
