[QUOTE="HoLeChit, post: 2751892, member: 35036"] Not really much of a problem, I'm just trying to reduce the inherent risks associated with carrying. keep myself sharp on these things and the overall mindset of carrying, Ya know? And for the sake of the conversation, I am referencing pushed/jostled/bumped in a crowd. Not too worried about clueless people here, what I'm worrying about is overprotective vigilantes that like tackling CCWers as they walk into Walmart, or that guy who wants whatever he felt on your hip, cause your wallet he already picked didn't have anything in it. The nature and practical experience has to do with long arms and side arms, most of the training was for high risk/high profile personnel and property security, police work, and crowd control. The rest had to do with playing in the sandbox, searching hajis and such. I've never really understood the logic behind carrying a backup weapon or knife. Yes, with the malfunction or loss of a weapon it is really nice to have, however I see it as unnecessary bulk and something that the aggressor can use against you. If you have two weapons or hell, just think if for lunch you have two cheeseburgers; you only need one to get full, so if someone is nearby and says they are gonna steal your burger, you won't be on as high of guard or as quick to act as if you only had one burger. You'll likely let them, as you only need one burger. You only need (hopefully) one round from one firearm to stop a threat, so how I see it is similar to the cheeseburger situation. you'll subconciously be relying on your backup (or primary) to save you, rather than just using the primary. Having 2 firearms on your person in a scuffle means that one will likely be unprotected and up for grabs to the highest bidder. Am I thinking logically or just getting crazy right now? [/QUOTE]
