To tell you the truth I always had doubt as to the reasons that some officers carried a second gun especially those guns that were not authorized for the officers to carry. Carrying one gun can be uncomfortable but comforting. Carrying 2 guns or more would be uncomfortable and no more comforting than one when I think of worrying about loosing an extra, having it stolen, or attempting to find a safe place for it to be stored when I go into a place that I can't carry it. did I say it's not for me?
