Re: Carry your spare mags!
Most of the time, I only carry whats loaded in the firearm. Occasionally I'll have a spare mag or New York reload with me. Only though when a threat potential is high like visiting unknown areas or places known for its high violent crime rate.
I dont buy into the statistics at all, they are padded by both sides for either's agenda. If 10 violent attacks per 100,000 people on average happen where the use of force would be justified, then with the 52% chance of multiple aggressors is only 5 in 100,000. Odds are well in my favor that I'll be one of the 99,990 or 99,995 people that weren't attacked.
The numbers of people who are attacked by a single or multiple aggressors is only a minute fraction of those who lawfully carry. Most people go abouts their lives without such an event. When most attacks do occur, its over in about 1-5 shots from either or combined sides before someone retreats or the other is dead/incapacitated.
If I carry my derringer and I'm never attacked during my life, then the quantity of ammo was more than enough to handle the situation.
