Six miles from me. This video is my answer to: Why do you carry a spare magazine?
Do you carry a spare magazine?

I was out walking in the back 40 yesterday and one of my magazines fell out of my magazine carrier. I got lucky and I found it but that's as good as reason as any I can come up with for carrying a spare magazine.
I always carry a spare magazine. Statistically, the odds I will be in a self defense shooting and need to reload during said shooting are astronomically low. John from Active Self Protection had a video a few years ago where he said in all the thousands of videos he's reviewed, he has never seen a private citizen reload their firearm. I'm not sure if that has since changed but even if it has, I'm sure its an incredibly rare occurrence. Despite that I still carry a reload primarily incase of mechanical failures with my primary magazine; also having the ability to reload and keep shooting if more rounds are needed are just a benefit of that choice.
I hate carrying a spare in my pocket when I’m by myself, so it’s just 10+1 in my P365..,I don’t even use the higher cap mag so the pistol conceals easier. When my wife and I go anywhere, I slip a 12 rounder in a pocket in her huge purse. She’s got so much stuff in there, she hasn’t noticed the added weight…yet. When we get home, I surreptitiously slip it back out of her purse. I figure when we’re together, I may need it to help protect her more so than when I’m alone.
