This is the reason why "capacity" and carrying a spare magazine are good things and why none of the rest matter.
I believe in carrying a spare, and sometimes do, but some of the levels of "strapped" I've seen is a caution.
Hi-cap pistol and two or three spare magazines, a BUG, and a folding fighter just in case you run out of ammo and have to go hand to hand is a bit...much. Besides, after a certain age range, your back starts to protest.
And he'll make quite a clatter when he hits the ground after a meth head clocks him with a wine bottle in the checkout line down at the local Piggly Wiggly and makes off with his hardware. (And if you don't think those people can spot your Roscoe, you're mistaken.)
These days I carry a revolver in an unconventional manner, keep my head on a swivel so I can lessen the chances I'll have to use it, and maintain a firm plan to unass the AO at the first opportunity.
Walter Mitty notwithstanding.
