Have carried for 40+ years legally. As I have said, the 2 have varied but always 2. I feel I should clarify why always 2. NOT for more ammo but in case my primary goes down. The 2 I currently carry have a total of 12 rounds. If it was an ammo decision, I'd just carry one gun with 12 rounds. That's not it for me, never has been. I've owned over 100 cars in my life and I have never had a flat tire in 55 years+ of driving. I always carry a spare tire.
