I mean this to be directed at civilians and off duty Officers/Deputies.
While I often carry a Glock 22 off duty, I have carried a SAA, with extra ammo.
I just don't, at this point, think I need to carry 45 rounds of ammo off duty. I might change my mind if I have enough facts to convince me that I do need more than 8 or 10 rounds total. I believe that a civilian self-defense shooting is more closely related to an off duty shooting than an on duty shooting. I could be convinced to change my mind about that too(?) I like to believe that I’ll base my habit on facts.
