A full mag would be common sense, sensible and prudent, Much as filling your gas tank to maximum when crossing the desert at night. Both give me a specific end point, which helps me to prepare for known situations, and may serve as a life saver, depending on the situation I am presented with. True, you can load 1,2,3 or more short, but if your specific firearm accepts a full mag, ( which you checked before carrying, with live fire ) why would you load it down?? You can if you choose, but that brings us back to the desert when you only put 250 miles worth of fuel only to find detour that you need 310 miles secondary to detours!! Be Safe,
