After reading SIG's thread, I was curious how many others out there are like me that carry more than one gun on a daily basis. (I'm also looking for a good knife to carry, any suggestions?)
When I went to my favorite gunstore to purchase my backup gun (a Det. Spl), the store owner asked if I was an LEO (I'd mentioned I was looking for a good backup gun). When I said no, "I just want one", he gave me a strange look as though I were crazy.
I personally think it's quite prudent to carry more than one gun on you. You never know what might happen, when you might need that extra firepower. Whenever I go out, I'm packing 31 rounds total for my P228, and 6 (right now) for the snubby. I'm also considering purchasing a HKS speedloader to carry w/ 6 rounds in it so I can reload the revolver.
Who knows what situation you may get yourself into, where your auto might jam, or gets taken away. I am constantly thinking about stuff like that when I'm out, assessing the situation and scanning the crowd. In a parking lot, I keep my left hand free (my shooting hand) and my SIG easily accessible. Sometimes I have my hand in my pocket, where my Colt is hiding.
We, who do this are sometimes scoffed at for being paranoid, but I take issue with that. I want to hear your thoughts!
