DU gun owners " Have you ever felt under gunned carrying less than ten rounds in a mag

[OneTenthofOnePercent]

25. No, actually. And I carry everyday when I'm in the States. But...

I usually carry a Glock of some sort, each of which with more than 10 rounds loaded. But when I carry a small .380 or 1911 or other gun where the capacity is limited I will slip a spare mag in my pocket or something. I don't feel any more "undergunned" with 7+7+1 of my 1911 (two 7 round mags, 15 total) versus my 15+1 of my Glock (one 15 round mag). I do keep a few "extended" magazines in my glovebox for the Glock and 1911 though (30 round & 10 round respectively).

Mags can be changed in about 2 seconds (literally) so the small mag capacity is not as important as simply having more rounds loaded in another magazine on hand. This is what people advocating "hi-cap magazine" bans don't get. I firmly believe that if high-cap mags did not exist, most mass shootings would have turned out relatively the same (if not identical). Changing a mag is effortless and takes seconds.

Just to clarify, I do believe that High capacity magazines are 99% pointless for civilian ownership. I just don't think that banning them is worth the political repercussions given that it does not make a practical and significant real-world difference in semi-automatic firepower.
