2 gun carry

[yote hunter]

Was in the gun shop the other day and a guy came it to try to trade a gun, he said he only wanted to trade one but he was carrying 3, 1 in a IWB holster, 1 in the middle of his back not in a holster and 1 in a ankle holster..I thought ok well hes just brought all 3 to try to trade 1. Never did a trade, but upon leaveing I ask if he was a LEO and he said no... So I ask why you carry so many guns just trying to do some tradeing, he said I "Always carry 2" then walked on out... I thought Hmmmm.....

Sometimes I'll carry two, depending on the who-what-when-where-how circumstances of the situation. It plays the dual role of backup gun and arm-a-friend gun.

 

[BehindBlueI's]

I generally carry two.

 

[copo]

I carry two guns frequently.

 

[possum_128]

One is none and two is one.

 

[Mark 1911]

I often carry two, especially in the colder whether when my hip holster is less accessible.

 

[warthog]

I usually carry two myself.

Why only two?

Same here.

I've gotten lazy and complacent and downgraded my 2nd gun to pepper-spray

 

[nakinate]

Why only two?

Because I can't afford more at the moment!

It's a good idea to carry a [STRIKE]Drop-Gun[/STRIKE] Back-Up-Gun.
Say for whatever reason - your EDC fails, gets dropped, mag fails, can't access spare mags.

I do carry spare mags but also have a BUG that takes the same mags as my EDC.



Simplify.

I must be weird...

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Well this thread went about how I would expect.

 

[downlinx]

i carry 2 most of the time.

 

[iChokePeople]

Why only two?

5=1, 4=0.

 

[rhino]

THAT is a legitimate response!

5=1, 4=0.

I like the way you think, sir!

 

[SERparacord]

One for each hand.

 

[BJones]

I usually carry two guns. Why? because I only have 2 hands.

OP, carrying a backup, and/or tertiary gun is not all that uncommon among INGOers.

According to the following poll, about 47% carry a BUG at least sometimes.

Maybe about 13%, carry, dare I say it, a third gun.
