Indeed. I started carrying 3 extra mags with me wherever I go, just in case people get a hankering for burning, looting, and murdering outside the city.
I read about a guy who knew there was looting and decided to carry extra mags that day. That was used as evidence he intended to cause trouble when he was arrested at the protest.
You have to carry the extra ALL the time, because if you just carry it one day, that can be used against you.
I carry the extra every day. All the time. They're always within arm's reach now. Doesn't matter if I'm going into the city for some reason (an increasingly rare occurrence) or just going out to help my dad load seeds into the grain hoppers, I now ALWAYS have the extra mags on me.
No survivor of a gunfight has ever said, “I wish I hadn’t carried those extra magazines.” The fact of the matter is, you will never know how many rounds you need until you need them. In a gunfight, you would be surprised at the number of misses. I have seen good shooters send 33 rounds downrange to get 14 hits in a firefight. In firefights, the piece of paper shoots back.
The carry weight for 9mm is 1 lb for every 38 rounds. If carrying a 45 then that number of rounds falls to 21. Stop before you say something absurd “if I can’t get it done in six rounds, something’s wrong” or “I deserve what I get”.
I am often asked if I knew I was going to be in a gunfight how much ammo would I carry? “If I knew I was going to be in a gunfight, I wouldn’t go!” I know a few cops that carry 145 rounds. It is a personal choice but I do not leave home without at least 45 rounds in tow.
I'm providing security at this very moment. Abused woman and child.
The abuser thinks a protection order is for starting fires and has violated them numerous times in the past. I've got my 1911 with 5 extra magazines with extra capacity
within arms reach. I'll be here until the state can find a woman's shelter. Might be a bunch too many but better than not enough.
I can think of at least one good reason.
For a long time I thought "Who needs a gun that can fire a lot of rounds?", but with all the rioting and looting, I see a valid reason.

I carry 5 mags with me in a shoulder rig. I mainly got the 4 mag side rig because 2 spare mags wasn't enough to easily counter the weight of my 1911.
You should see a reason without all the rioting and looting.
You should a fucking fantastic reason right here in this bitch's tweet.
I can think of 75 million good reasons
pretty sure she and people like her are the reason civilians need magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.

My life is very valuable to me. I need to protect it from whomever comes for me and my liberty.
I need whatever I decide that I need. I don't need to explain it to anyone.
