Do you carry more than one gun frequently?

[Brian41]

I usually carry one but if on a car trip 'll have a second one in the console. Sometimes if I want to carry more gun for some reason my Model 37 would stay in my pocket too.

I'm a big believer in the New York Reload (carrying a second, loaded handgun). I almost always pocket carry two J-frame Airweights in .38 Special with a speed strip on my belt. The only time I will carry one handgun is if I either have too much stuff to carry and there is simply no room, or if I'm carrying a long gun (i.e. if I'm hunting). I had an experience a few years ago when out walking my dogs (we were attacked by two Boxers) that convinced me that having two guns - especially if they are accessible to either hand - is the best way to go.

Regards,

Dave

One. I've never carried more. For over sixteen years (concealed carry in Kentucky wasn't legal until the first of '98) it's been a pocket-carried J-frame. Sometimes with one or two speed strips in an old pager case on my belt, but usually not.

I have no one else to arm, and I don't get out a heck of a lot anymore. I feel okay with the snubby alone.

Well, now I'm disappointed. Thought I was the only one with the idea to carry speed strips in a pager/cell phone case. The disappointment part is that I was about ready to put a patent on the idea, so anybody else doing it would have to pay me a royalty. Acebow

I carry two Revolvers, a Charter Arms 44 Special and a Smith and Wesson 38 Spl 642-1. It is quicker to draw a second handgun than
to load from a speed loader. Since each revolver holds five rounds
that gives me ten before I have to reach for a speed loader. Those
with semi automatics usually have 10 or 15 before they have to
reload.

I only carry 1 gun at a time, usually a S&W 642-1, with a speed strip in the watch pocket of my jeans. During hot weather it is usually a BG380 with 1 spare magazine.

 

[colmar pocket]

I usually carry a 442 in my old Army field jacket pocket in the winter as my primary is covered by a few layers of clothing . Also keep it "442" or my Makarov handy while driving as the seat belt is in the way of reaching the primary .

For those whose employment and or psyche require more than the usual amount of concealed equipment: guns, ammo, cuffs, or even first aid gear. The answer is a custom made vest. Material, or combinations of material are a matter of choice, but the main principal is to have a fairly stiff load bearing inner vest, with a lighter "dress" outer vest attached togeather only at the shoulder seams. That way you can put a hell of a lot of gear on the inside of the inner vest and the outer vest still hangs loosely and doesn't look weighted down, and the stiffer inner vest also stops the gear from printing on the outer layer. Dedicated pockets for the gear on the inside are pretty much a must. Most leather shops will make you one for about half the price of a mod 60, one from a custom fancy clothing store gonna cost you more than a mint 27.

Beware of the man with 2 wallets

 

[DevilDog72]

I read something like this..." beware of the man with but one gun, for he surely knows how to use it". I do not recall who penned this.... I carry one and a reload every day.

 

[PatAz]

Never have but when we travel or are together my wife and i both carry.

 

[john629]

I'm out and about at 2 or 3AM,five nights a week for a part-time job.For these times,it's usually 2 guns.A Glock 36 as my primary and in the summer,a Ruger LCP.During the winter,my second gun is usually some type of S&W revolver in .44 .

 

[Acebow]

john, I'm curious; do you carry Magnum or Special rounds in the .44? If it's none of my business, just tell me; my feelings won't be hurt. Acebow

 

[john629]

I always carry Specials in it.Usually 200 gr.Silvertips.

 

[Semper Fi 57]

Not as often now. Before I retired, I ALWAYS carried two.

 

[Acebow]

Thanks, john. I like your choice. Acebow

 

[Highhawk1948]

I have been slipping a rifle in my truck when I'm out and about for a while now. I do conceal carry a Colt 1911 with an extra magazine.

 

[TTSH]

I had occasion to carry two guns at times in my younger days, but not anymore. Just don't visit what I consider unusually high-risk places any longer. Hardly ever carry at all anymore, but when I do... just one gun.

 

[Derosa]

One is none; two is one.
