Re: "Anything more than five rounds and you are a problem"
i carry 45 rounds, does he really want to tell me how to freedom?
truth being, i don't need any of them, we all know that simply displaying a firearm makes criminals drop to the ground and cry.
if only i could get a glock that could rack like a 12ga, women's panties would fly off.There is no way to make it out alive...

Re: "Anything more than five rounds and you are a problem"
A cousin of mine, who is an ardent 2A supporter and carries daily, told me that according to research almost all civilian gunfights are done in six shots or less, so he doesn't carry more than that and thinks it's stupid to carry more.
I can't call him a fudd knowing his stance on MSRs and other things, but I do think he's wrong on his carry approach.
So long as it doesn't translate into "let's ban mags above six rounds" I honestly don't care.

Re: "Anything more than five rounds and you are a problem"
Actually, lately, we have been the primary prey. And not because they interfered with them committing a crime, but simply because they were cops.
I have no issue with law abiding folks having large capacity magazines for their self defense. Lately in Philadelphia the bad guys must have discovered the extended Glock magazines, because we have had shootings with mag dumps of over 30 rounds 9mm and 22 rounds of .40 S&W on shooting scenes.
And there is a little difference with the police and weapons for civilian self defense. While extended magazines should be normal carry for your self defense, you don’t normally switch into a hunter mode and aggressively track down assailants. The police aren’t better, just different.

Re: "Anything more than five rounds and you are a problem"
I agree that cops have the extra duty of aggressively tracking down assailants. But they aren't firing rounds into every nook and cranny as they do so; at some point, they encounter an armed bad guy and at that point the physical dynamic looks a lot like a homeowner fighting off a home invader.
The fact that many shootings by police seem to involve 3 or 4 officers all emptying their guns into the suspect, is a topic for another day.
As for cops being the primary prey of bad guys, I'd word that differently. Most criminals target non-police for their robberies and rapes and kidnappings and sport beatings. A relatively few animals will sneak up on cops and assassinate them as they sit in their cars, or call them to a scene and gun them down from cover. Doesn't seem like most of these cops get a chance to shoot back at all, much less use up a limited capacity magazine in the process.
We ultimately agree, though, that law-abiding Americans (cops or not) should have the best chance to fight back and survive a gun fight. With an increasing frequency of semi-armed mobs rampaging and hitting people and burning stuff and dragging the innocent out of their cars, we only encourage them if we have ineffectual pea-shooters holding 5 or 6 rounds, or even 10. What police discovered decades ago, and remains true, is that a display of overwhelming force will prevent the violence from occurring at all. A gang of 20 thugs carrying baseball bats might rush you with your S&W Airweight, and you'll kill a few of them and they'll beat you to death; but pull out a 15 round Glock and they may scurry away with nobody getting hurt.Attorney Phil Kline, AKA gunlawyer001@gmail.com
