There was a school of thought once that carrying multiple weapons was good in an armed confrontation. If you were wounded and had survived with partial paralysis or limited movement due to your wounds, there would be a weapon still within a hands reach. A downed officer could have weapons/ammunition for another active officer. Protocol was also to fire dry, drop and draw a charged weapon instead of reloading.
