Personally, I don’t think you can ever have too much ammo. YMMV

AgreeWhat happens if there're more than one perp? I prepare for the worst and hope for the best. I carry a full mag and one in chamber total 16. I always carry the same weapon, always. My little pea brain doesn't like to think about what are the differences between what I carried yesterday and what I'm carrying today. I should get in the habit of carrying another full magazine. I've not found a mag holster I like or tried for that matter. Maybe weight for some is an issue. It's not for me.
Good read and analogy, points takenLike pretty much everything, EDC is an exercise in compromise. If I was "prepared for the worst" like BluesBrother said, I would have my wraparound 3A Kevlar with multi hit 5.56 green tip rated plates front and back, my helmet, 150 round loadout for my rifle, 69 round loadout for my handgun, knee pads, hydration, IFAK, and my radio.
I suppose I could walk around town like that for a bit, but eventually I would get in trouble with my bosses and end up poking holes in my vehicle's upholstery.
I carry a handgun with one reload (which one depends on where I'm going), a swiss army knife, my ID, keys, and a phone. I have a better-than-average first aid kit in the truck along with a ballistic vest and that's pretty much it.
I have always said that the mood on most forums seems to be "Anyone less prepared than I am is a sheep and anyone more prepared than I am is paranoid." This forum is certainly better than most, though! The conversations tend to be fairly civil.
well said. EDC is a very different need for everybody. not gonna lie, road trips are a VERY different load out for me. full size pistol, carbine of some sort, 3-5 spare mags for everything, lvl3a soft armor, hand held flashlights and a very complete ifak/gstk, tourniquets, (which i don't think anyone has mentioned yet for EDC) and other kit... slightly paranoid? you bet. prepaired? i hope so... train hard as often as you can is the best way to survive.Like pretty much everything, EDC is an exercise in compromise.

Mexican carry solves “el problemo“…I know what you mean . Summer clothing is coming up too and I wonder if my 2.5 python is gonna "fit in " , being an old fudd i hate the idea of looking into a pocket auto min. 9 mm but that 45 looks sweet but first will check out 5 shot 357 ,s for CC in shorts n t shirt
Most likely more than 4 -5 guys , mob might have been the wrong word to use but 4-5 wanting to do you in is to manyDid he have to fight off a mob with a firearm? I’ve been around a few big mobs when bullets starred flying and universally the mob suddenly realized they had pressing business elsewhere.
Of course there will be a distinction between an angry mob that gets a case of the bloodlust (usually undisciplined and easily scared off) and a disciplined group with a plan and an objective. You square off against the second group by yourself and any ammo you have should be used to break contact!

Excellent idea. I do have a bag for this. I'll be bugging in, not out. All my stuff is at the house and thats where all plans start out from. Be overly prepared and if nothing goes down, all the better...Question, do you carry a long gun in your truck?
I’m thinking about putting together a “get home bag” with more stuff than my EDC. I already have a FAK in my truck with chest seals and some other non-typical stuff, but thinking of making a “3 day” type survival pack and am thinking of a takedown PCC type carbine for it rather than another handgun.

Fully agree on keeping the EDC the same, I carry a 17 round mag with one in the chamber and a spare 17 round mag in my backpack which is never very far away. I want to be the most comfortable and accurate with the one I carry every day.What happens if there're more than one perp? I prepare for the worst and hope for the best. I carry a full mag and one in chamber total 16. I always carry the same weapon, always. My little pea brain doesn't like to think about what are the differences between what I carried yesterday and what I'm carrying today. I should get in the habit of carrying another full magazine.

On rare occasions I do, but I usually take my Mustang if I feel the need for a long gun because I recognize the chances of my truck being broken into are much higher than me needing a rifle in a hurry. I don't have any way to really secure gear like that in my truck and important stuff like that lying about on the floorboard and back seat make me much more nervous than not having a rifle.Question, do you carry a long gun in your truck?
