Statistically a gun fight mean of 1.7 rounds doesn't mean that only happens.

It's a distribution of round fired - take a stat class.

I've heard that if you miss you ain't doing YOUR JOB from a gun clerk commando.

Being at Mumbai, the Navy Yard, the Kenyan Mall, etc. - might convince you that more ammo might be useful.

The reason to carry less is just convenience and playing the odds that you face only the single mugger be gone scenario. But the with other incidents, the low probability event can have an absolute large number of occurrences .

This is seen in medical research. A preventative treatment might only stop a small percentage of problems but given 300,000,000 people, that's a very large expensive number in actuality.
