Well, I moved to Southern Ohio from Southern Illinois two years ago and I don’t feel that is too much firepower! Can only imagine what it’s like up north if it’s this bad around Cincinnati and Columbus!
But carrying two different firearms on you makes sense while traveling. I pocket something light and use my G26 or P365/380 in one of my shoulder holsters. Just having options is good. And I have been pulled over, for speeding, and informed the trooper that I was carrying and what I was carrying. Had a nice conversion about my Galco Lite and Alabama Pocket Holster. Neither acted like they felt threatened by me having two weapons on me. But you also carry two single stacked pistols. Both of their capacity and size may not equal most one double stacked capacity most folks claim to carry. And you have options of drawing in case one to not accessible. Weird how other folks do not think people other than themselves train also. I wonder if they moved their weapon a few inches one way or another if they wouldn’t be able to get to it by the way they speak. Guess some of us are more flexible than others. And that ok.
I also pack an AR carbine in the back, in a case. I travel from OH to MO a lot to take care of my Mother and see my son. Been through Louisville KY and St Louis MO during protests. Not fun.
I also take my Malinios with me everywhere I go. They are my service dogs. They are trained well, and meet all ADA guidelines. They also are Mals, so no one really wants to get close to me. Always a good thing.
I don’t like have too many different magazines laying around. I’m older and have whittled my firearms down to that I will carry, 22lr pistols I train and have fun with, and couple of 1911s to say I have them. I use to own nothing but Glocks, but I didn’t like the different caliber mags being just alike. Color base plates work, it I just don’t like it. So if I had your pistols, I would settle on the 380 for the pocket, and figure if I wanted a 45 or 9mm for belt or shoulder carry. But that’s just me.
