Can we please address the topic and answer the questions as to "How often does he claim this has happened? Who has it happened to? What was the outcome?" |

Since you obviously lack any proof that Mas Ayoob's life experience claims are untrue, sure...lets get back on topic: two guns is always better than none...or one.

Like I thought, a while lot of defending nonsense with nothing but bluster.
Does anyone else have any real evidence to enter supporting or criticising the validity of this line of reasoning? |

Youre the one who made a whole lot of nonsense about Mas Ayood with nothing but bluster to back up your claim. So who again is full of it? |

Not really on topic though...other than to debate his basis for the "carry two so you can arm someone else" theory. |

I don't much like those odds. Being prepared is a really good idea, and, I wish I was more so... |

Hell I sleep with a B.U.G so I don't think that carrying one is overkill.

Even if you are assaulted, are you going to be involved in a multi-person running gun battle? How many shots are you even going to fire? Are you going to be recruiting aid on the spot? There is a huge difference of considering the likelihood of an event and then choosing to be over prepared (or just preparing for the worst) and trying to justify your own opinions with fictitious story telling. |

Hey! Where were you when I tried to make that point in the "2 mags" thread?

You also have to consider that rape is one of the most common violent crimes and that is most often a crime between to involved persons. |

The question is, which of those variables have a high enough probability of happening, so that I can know which ones I choose those for which I feel the need to prepare? Secondarily, one are the trade-off of preparing for any given variable? Many, many people go out every day completely unprepared for a violent event. Why? Because the cost of preparing are too high for them. Maybe it's the cost of a gun directly. Maybe it's the cost of ridicule for being so "paranoid". There are as many reasons to prepare as there are excuses not to prepare. We can never prepare for every variable. The odds of needing more than one gun (or needing an additional mag)are vanishingly small. So small that I choose not to prepare to that degree. Everyone should prepare for those events such that when they walk out the door they feel, well, prepared. For some people that means remembering the cell phone. For others it means a high-cap primary, a spare mag or two, a bug with a spare mag, pepper spray, a flashlight and a rifle in the vehicle.
