Thank God I'm alive!
Just trying to get an idea of how much extra ammo you guys carry. I work as a security officer, and when I'm at work, in addition to the 15 +1 rounds I carry in my duty weapon (Glock 22), I also carry two additional magazines, for a total of 46 rounds. When I'm off duty, however, I don't carry any additional ammo besides what is in the gun. On the one hand, I don't want any LEOs to get the wrong idea about me if they see me carrying all this ammo, but on the other hand, I want to have it available in case I either get into a gunfight or experience a magazine failure. While carrying extra ammo isn't illegal here, our LEOs here (Lake County, IN) are also extremely anti gun and have been known to give people a hard time whose guns become accidentally exposed (although accidental exposure is not illegal here in Indiana).
Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to get an answer on is what I should say to an LEO who wants to give me a hard time in case I do decide to carry extra ammo.
