I know I should, but I rarely do carry an extra speed loader/mag. Or a knife. Or a flashlight. Or a cell phone... I'm retired and I do NOT miss the Bat Belt!
Most likely, one way or another, it's gonna be over for me or them before either of us gets past 6 - 8 rounds. I'm always looking to see trouble before trouble sees me.
I'm interested in self defense while I get the heck outta Dodge, not charging up San Juan Hill mall to save the day.
Maybe for the New Year I'll resolve to carry a reload, and that other stuff, all the time... would really suck to be floating up and away looking down at my body and thinking "really shoulda had that..."
Maybe I'll get a nice Man Bag!? Know of any?
