Chris"  I answered that I do carry a back up on me, however that is only if and when I go or plan to go outside my normal activities, normally I just carry one handgun and a extra magazine. :D    JIM

I carry either my S&W model 66 in .357 or my Colt Defender 45ACP as my primary weapon, I also have a NAA 22MAG with a clip holster attached to my pocket. It looks like a pager in my pocket. I 22MAG will kill you.  :twisted:

When I'm working (PI) I carry an AMT .380 in my pocket, along with either a Glock 22 or a Kahr K-40 on my hip.  When I'm not working, one will usually do.   :)

Most of my driving is done in uniform, with the gun openly carried in a belt holster, but depending on where I am going off-duty, I will often keep a handgun in the car.  It's not legal, but unless I am attacked, that gun will never be seen!  After 20+ years of working armed, I feel totally naked without a gun.  I've also taken to collecting and wearing small, easily concealable knives as backup weapons.  The grenades stay in the trunk! :wink:
