[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Do you carry a BUG? (Page 1 of 2)
Posted: 8/25/2016 6:25:16 PM EDT
| Doesn't matter if you're LEO or not, just wondering |
| Don't feel the need for one; it's just extra stuff to carry around at this point. Frankly most of todays handguns are pretty reliable and most of us won't even need that. Personally, I'd carry an additional mag before I'd carry a BUG, but different strokes and all that. |

Quoted:
I think (although I've never actually checked) that my state's carry license does not allow it. In other words, just one gun with a CHL here (non LEO). Fellow Ohioans care to chime in? You can carry as many as you want. Sometimes I carry a Body Guard in addition to the Shield or M&P 9c. |

I want to say I thought that's what the concealed carry class instructor had said. Don't remember though. |

I carry either a Hi power or Colt commander daily, and a go bag travels with me. it has a model 36 and 2 speed loaders along with spare
mags for the semi's. but, I'm an old fuck who's pissed off more than a few folks and politically outspoken in public forums and have been threatened a couple of times about my activity..nor can I take a beating and I can't run...

Tried it, it was extra weight that I don't need.
Most days I never leave the house, and when I do it is a short trip. Or, I am carrying a bunch of other stuff. That leaves my 380 in a desantis, almost always. Some days my spidey sense is kicking in and then it is the M&P full size 9 in a CBST. If 17+1 isn't enough I am dead. Really, if the 6+1 of my 380 doesn't get me clear I was not paying attention and did something very stupid. I already do poorly in high heat and humidity, I don't need the stress. |

I'm a t-shirt cargo shorts guy anyway, I don't know where I'd carry a back up. I already carry one pistol, wallet, phone, Cryo II(good sized knife), pro-tac aaa light, keys, and a leatherman wave on my belt.
I have a Maxpedition EDC pouch thing that is loaded, I don't even like carrying that(If I could find the right neck/shoulder strap combo for it I would though. I need to try a 1 point sling with that. ). |

Ask me how I know  Firearms are man made mechanical devices and either they themselves or the ammo can become faulty at any time so a back up is prudent imo. Also the odd chance you could become disarmed of your primary.

Me too but I carry a Glock 19 on one hip, spare mag on the other and most of the time drop an LCP in a sticky holster into my front pocket. I have no good reason for doing so but it's no extra burden so there's no reason not to. Quoted:

I've been considering getting something really tiny for backup use. Kel-Tec 32 or similar. Just something to keep on my ankle just in case. It's no handheld Howitzer but certainly better than NO backup. It would also be a pistol to throw to someone else if needed.
EDC is Shield or BG380 depending on dress and how lazy I am to put on the tuckable holster for Shield. Much easier to just throw the BG380 in my pocket on the way out the door. |
