    Default Carry two guns?

    Any of you carry more then one gun daily? Like 2 9mm or something like that. Is it legal? I dont plane on doing this. But curious if anyone else does. I see it in alot of movies an im sure some people other then cops do this.

    Thanks

    I carry a Glock 23 and a Kel-Tec 3AT daily. My Father always said "if you are going to carry one, might as well carry two". Probably being a Cop for 40 years lead him to that

    Be safe (and have one for each of 'em).

    It's a "License To Carry Firearms".

    You're supposed to carry more than one. It's the law.







    OK, it's not a requirement. But it's certainly permitted.

    lol @ pea shooter. But, I guess he got a good point about if you carry one. Might as well Carry 2. But, is it called for? Unless your in the ghetto or something. I Think it would get a little heavy. An a little over the top. But, I thought about maybe carrying 2 compact 9mm. But, I feel might be a little much. Since ill probley never even need to pull out one of them. Well I hope I wont. An you know where u can get one of them Vest type holsters? That have holster on each side of your torso area? I dont know what they are called. Shoulder holster? I never hear them spoke about. But id like to get one if i would ever carry 2. To conceal nicely under my jacket. Or zip up Sweetshirt.

    A few months ago, I started carrying 2. The way I see it is that it would be much easier to draw the second one than reload the first. Main weapon is a S&W Airweight 38,BUG is a KelTec P3AT.

    God willing, I will never need to use either.

    I recently Heard Jason Schafer put it this way.... "the fastest re-load is a second gun". also made some sense about having one on your hip (while in the car trying to get it if you needed it - and having a BUG on your ankle)... in this case the BUG is much easier to get.

    I usually always carry at least two guns. One in an ankle holster, the other in either a pocket holster, an inside-the-pant holster, and/or a Blackhawk Serpa.

    I apply the concept that when it rains, it pours. If you are unfortunate enough to have to use a gun to protect your safety or the safety of a loved one, you may also be unfortunate enough to be faced with multiple assailants, a magazine malfunction, a squib load, etc...

    Also useful in the event that you find yourself in a position where you cannot reach your primary gun.

    Maybe there's also an element of creating the necessity... sure, on the surface it might seem excessive to have purchased five handguns in the past four months, but if I carry them regularly, then it's not excessive, obviously.
    Safety is a good tool for tyrants; no one can be against safety.
