Always carry at least one spare reload ...

It's not so much that I disagree with this. I love large capacity guns and extra magazines. The problem is that I only pocket carry. And, keeping track of my keys, wallet and gun is more than enough for me. Hey, I'm just lazy that way. So, the easier I make it to grab my little .45 and stuff it into a pocket, the more I actually carry it. It's purely a matter of convenience for me.
I do keep an extra loaded magazine in my car, but it's just too much of a PITA for me to carry that around too.
My carry technique isn't the best, isn't the most "tactical", doesn't give me the round capacity that I really want, but I look at it this way: I have 6 more rounds of hot .45 defensive loads the way I carry than I would if I was set up for carrying a Glock or other type of gun w/ extra mags.
