    I hate to say it, but you should be. How many mags is enough?

    a 40 and a 30?

    6 mags?

    My first reaction is "This ain't the Moge or A-Stan" . . . . . but . . . .

    It sounds like crazy talk until you watch that video and then watch some riot videos.

    I got called out to work the other night and took my usual, shield with 8 rnd mag and a spare.

    Watching the video got me thinking.

    If you were pulled out of your vehicle and defended your life, or maybe someone else, with deadly force; what do you think the mob would do?

    If your lucky, they'll scatter. If not you will have several hundred angry people spy rounding you who are out for blood. And you just did the same thing Zimmerman did, in their eyes anyways.


    Strongly reconsidering my daily carry until things blow over.

    The Houston Barnacle changes its description of the urban thugs . . . now they are Swarming since its near the Barnacle's offices.

    Protesters swarm City Hall, courthouse over Zimmerman verdict - Houston Chronicle

    The ignorance is OVERWHELMING!!!!

    "We're here because we hope this will bring some attention to the plight of young black men in this country with regard to police brutality, with regard to shooting, and especially with regard to 'Stand My Ground,'" said protester Valerie Michaud, 57. The verdict, she said, "says we are fair game. It doesn't matter the value of our life. We have no value as far as the larger majority is concerned. That's what that acquittal means."

    Our Governor needs to get his ass up in front of the media and at least threaten to call out the guard to put down these criminal acts.

    This is not peaceful protest.

    I believe I have enough firepower to get myself out. It all starts with the truck itself.

    I am a firm believer in being prepared af all times. Stay safe people.

    Sucks.... everyday my job takes me in and out of THE WORST sections of San Antonio, usually while still dark (starting about 4am).
    I'm not allowed to carry in my company vehicle. I also never know if I have to go onto one if the bases, so that doesn't help. It can be unnerving sometimes...

    The first time I saw this: CCW Breakaways Cargos - High Capacity Concealment - YouTube I thought it was funny.

    I'm re-thinkng that reaction.

    Coincidentally, in my last pistol class the instructor said he had reconsidered his position on how much ammo to carry after the Mumbai attacks. He now favors carrying far more ammo than most folks consider worthwhile. There may be more merit to that idea than I had previously thought. It's definitely something I'm pondering.

    Will be carrying my M&P with tlr1 and spare mag. Might buy a 3rd mag. Can never have too many. Who knows what would happen if you shot some of these fucktards trying to pull someone from a vehicle. Hopefully they would scatter
