Surefire mag or drum? I heard drums jam
let's party, you sound cool. but what caliber now? not that it matters, 100 rounds of hate pouring down on anything sounds like a good time!
50bmg in the winter 22lr in the summer lol
Since I carrying for self-protection, not law enforcement, all I need it what will fit in one mag, the one in the gun. Honestly, this amount should be plenty to stop an attack of 1-3 attackers. if I need more than that, I'm likely in south Chicago.
Depends on what season and what I am carrying.
Spring/Summer usually depending on attire I carry 2 firearms and a edged weapon/knife. 7+1 of 9mm, 6+1 .380 ACP
Fall/Winter usually depending on attire I carry 3 firearms and a edged weapon/knife. 8+1 of 45 ACP, 5 357 MAG and 6+1 .380 ACP
What, no blunt weapon like a bat or a club as well? Fail
Apparently I pissed some people off. Good, I'm glad. However, I was not trying to say what you should carry because honestly idgaf. But if you need a pocketbook bigger than my wife's to carry all your ammo maybe it's a bit excessive. I carry what I feel is enough for me, not all of Gotham but if you think you need it have at it

I didn't think you were telling people what to carry. Just sayin'
Thank you, I agree. However one person said 100, another said 500 and someone else said w.e plus a freezer bag. I asked my buddy who was infantry in the marines and has multiple confirmed kills, he told me while on patrol they carry 180 rounds, if you think you need more than a marine does during war I think you're crazy. Not to mention many other posts agreed with me. Personally I don't understand why someone would want to carry the weight of 30+ rounds on a daily basis. However I never advocated anything near mag limits. Obviously six round mag limits is ridiculous and we should be able to own large capacity, I just don't want to carry them daily. Also I never called myself a dbag (not my words) many of you could have made your point without sounding like a dbag yourself (explain why I'm wrong, which some if you did and I respect). I train often and feel confident in my abilities and accuracy to protect myself with slightly less rounds. I don't think 15 extra rounds are necessary in my daily routine, however if you do then carry them, that is your right and I believe in that right. If you still think I'm a dbag then awesome idgaf but as someone else said I live in New England not some 'Stan

Its not that youre wrong or that youre right. Its the way youre telling people what they do and do not NEED. People here dont like other people involved in what they can and cannot do regarding firearms. Go read my post about risks.
Ohh and your war comparison sucks because 1 guy's individual preferances doesnt equate to everyone in war. Glad he came home safe but he weighed his own risks to come up with the number of rounds while someone else decided more or less. Its the individual's determination not yours and to call someone crazy to determining more than you... That makes you a dbag.
You don't know what you'll need until you're in the fight. You don't know if/when you're going to walk into a world of shit any day of the week. Its all about balancing the risks with the rewards, but to say you definitively that you know you wont NEED more is setting yourself up. I'm hoping that if/when I walk into that shit I'll have enough and hopefully a little extra when I walk out. To each their own, MYOFB, etc etc.

First off . . . 30 rds of what? .380 would weigh ounces, whereas .45 would weigh pounds.
Second . . . when I read some of Zappa's pager posts, there are parts of Boston that are "war zones", seriously. As a kid growing up, my Grandparents lived on and near some of those streets where almost daily shootings and stabbings are being reported. I used to walk around there with no fear and today I wouldn't even drive by that area with multiple guns on the seat of the car.
There are manners of dress where the extra ammo balances out the weight of a gun on the other hip, such that it isn't really a burden for most of us. Good holsters, gun belt and ammo carriers of some sort make all the difference in the world. When I carried a .380, I also carried an "ammo wallet" with 12 or 18 rds of ammo in my back pocket plus a spare mag (probably held 7, don't recall as I haven't carried a .380 in probably 10 years or more). When I carried a full-size 1911 (all steel) I carried 2 spare mags (total of 25 rds), again no big deal . . . because due to listening to some smarter friends, I bought/wore proper equipment (real gun belt, top-notch holster, good mag holders, etc.).
Like almost everyone, when I got into CCW, I bought the cheapest holsters, wore a cheap belt and never had any mag holders. Yes it was uncomfortable and dumb on my part but I didn't know any better . . . all my fellow shooters back then were bullseye shooters, didn't CCW so nobody to learn from. You guys have a leg up by reading these forums, trying/seeing some friend's gear and some shops even carry a limited line of the better stuff now (unheard of in the 1970s-80s)!
YMMV
Reality bites...it can be tough to hide a G17 under just a tshirt.Letting the weather dictate your defensive posture? Bad idea.

Let me guess...you assumed pants went with that tshirt right?REALLY?
That must be why I carried a FS 1911 IWB under a t-shirt for ~2.5 years. Nobody noticed and it was never exposed.
Just sayin . . .
