“Search” won’t pull it up for some reason, but Google worked just fine. (It did pull up this hilarious story of Scylla meeting a goat that I hadn’t read before.
Here, from 2001, is the story I was referencing in my prior post. What got me was his well-told description of how people in farm country often experience shitheads dumping their unwanted pets on their property. The dogs nearly always die of course, often horribly.
Thanks for the answer about the hose, Scylla. For your main question, I don’t usually carry a spare magazine. I used to at first, and then it just became too big of a PITA.
I couldn’t remember the weight of an ASP, and whether it was heavier or lighter than the Glock I usually carry. I figured though that it couldn’t weigh more than a pistol/holster and a loaded mag.
Anyway, I can’t think off the top of my head, any citizen lethal force encounters while carrying a modern concealed semi-auto handgun, where the presence of another magazine would have been the difference between life and death for the citizen. Maybe the death of Mark Alan Wilson, as IIRC, he was killed while reloading his pistol?
It’s infinitesimally likely that the presence of the pistol itself will ever be needed, nevermind another 13 round + reload. Carry a first aid kit instead (along with PPE) and know how to use it. I’d think that would be a lot more useful. It’s a free country.
