I carry a full size Norinco with 2 extra 8 rounders.

For general needs, one spare should get me through... Enough to clear a malfunction, or top off after. I prefer to carry 2 though, one with JHP's, one with Ball.
Of course, there's usually a gear bag hiding in the truck, and in it, you would find quite a few more mags, and some ammo, both ball, and JHP's.
If it ever came down to it, I would hope that I was done and still had ammo in the gun, and really would hope 1 or 2 rounds ended the fight. I don't expect a malfunction either, but stranger things have happened.
It just seems that around here, packing more than a spare or possibly 2 would be asking for trouble when the shooting was reviewed... Surely, some gun-grabbing prosecuter would try to make a case that having a few too many spare's was "Looking for a fight", so don't get too carried away.
It really depends on the percieved threat level, and distance of travel... On a road trip, you'd think I was ready for a major offensive, but again, what's ON my body is usually 2 spares
