CCW: How many have you actually carried ... at one time?

I carry a .38 J-frame almost daily, depending upon the situation. Usually in a pants pocket holster or in my jacket pocket.
When I worked in Atlanta, I always carried when I went out on homcide calls. Usually it was a Titanium Taurus .38.
I never travel the highways without a gun in the car. Sometimes its a .38 K frame, but I have carried .357 K-frames and a Ruger Blackhawk .357 as my car guns, too. I also had a Makarov as a car gun for awhile.
My first car gun was a .32 S&W J-frame w/3" barrel. Not much, but it was all I had at the time. It was very accurate even if it was weak. I actually thwarted my own car-jacking with that gun. They didn't expect me to pull out a gun and point it in their face. But when it came out, they knew I would use it. (I drove home just fine). I also carried that gun a few times when I was in bad parts of town.
I'm picking up a Ruger Redhawk later this week. In addition to hunting duty, it will be my car gun, too (stoked w/.44 specials for social work).

Virginia Limits CCW to One
Virginia permit is for A concealed firearm. One gun, so it has to be a good one. That's all I'd carry anyway.

I've never given an ankle rig a try; will have to. I suppose I could get used to carrying more than one, and the idea of an ankle rig being easier to get to than, say an IWB, when seated or in a vehicle makes a lot of sense.

I carry ONE gun, and (possibly) one reload.
I keep the gun positioned on me so that I can access it under any condition.
I just don't see the point to multiple guns. Carrying one is a big responsibility. I think more than one would open yourself up to some rather heavy legal liabilities (especially civil ones) should you ever need to use even ONE of those weapons.
YMMV.

Primary depends on weather and circumstances/occasion. BUG is a Kel-Tec P11.

The most I've ever had on my person and concealed was 2. I usually carry one and at least one extra mag. The most I've ever had in close proximity and /or on my person ready to go was 4. One on me, one in my fanny pack laying on my passenger seat, one in the console in between the front seats, and one in my "range bag" on the floor.

6. Just cause I could. Wasn't spotted either. Won't do it again, as it was slightly uncomfortable.

Most Ever....
...was two. They weren't precisely on me. During Rita I always had either my G19 or my SP 101 on me....and the other would be back in my hotel room or in baggage in my truck when travelling. Same with travelling out to El Paso in the summer.
Next spring could get interesting - given all the nonsense with the hurricanes I am serioulsy thinking of getting an AK-47 (seni - not full version) for the summer.
If nothing else, it could make for several fun days at the range....

I *always" have a .45 on my hip with spare ammo on the off-side and I usually have a back-up, too. But, many moons ago, when the area in which I lived/worked was in the midst of racial rioting, for several days I carried a LW Commander in a Sparks RoadRunner (with two spare mags), a S&W M38 in a Renegade ankle holster (with a Speed Strip in the pocket), a .380 Back-Up in a pocket holster and a Browning Hi-Power in a Bianchi X-15 shoulder rig (with a spare mag in an accessory pouch I'd sewn on the off-side strap)... plus, a S&W M669 with 20-round magazine and a 12 gauge Mossberg riot gun in the car. (I was certainly glad when things quieted down and I could revert to carrying "only" two... and am sincerely grateful I didn't fall into a pond while loaded down with all that weight!) I have carried more for demonstration purposes during a CHL class, but that's the most I've ever carried on a "real world " day.

Ohio- thank you to the man that got cocealed carry passed in ohio
Just one, and i know i will be ridiculed for my choice, a ruger p89 and 4 15 round clips. Gun has only jammed once and it was because a 40 s&w got mixed in. john

I carry two frequently. I NEVER not carry. People don't use an ankle holster, you might as well leave it in the car.

Respect your opinion Biker and to each their own. I was almost killed with an ankle holster same for another guy I know. Gave mine away same night. Personal opinion. But you can not get at it very easy and when you need it you need it. I can undersand the the thought process but there are too many other places to carry. We will just agree to disagree on this. I swore I would never do that again and I won't. Happy New Year.

It's slow as hell to get at Jim. No argument here, and given a choice, I'd rather carry my G23 in my Hellweg Paddle Speed Holster, but usually, due to my lifestyle which dictates the way I dress, my Taurus 450 in an ankle holster is the only mode of carry that guarantees I'll always have a gun with me.
For me, it's a matter of compromises.

StainlessOne:those who ridicule Rugers of any knid,usually never shot one.
I carried 2 one time(just to see if I could),but usaully only 1 with one reload.My plan after the reload is to run as fast as I can to the trunk of my car where I have a case of ammo.....or a hiding spot

Sometimes 2, but never more than that.
