I rarely carry a second gun but always carry spare ammo (two magazines). Some of the training I have had taught me that, if engaged in a self defense shooting, I should reload just as soon as there is a break in the action. Reasoning on that is that the bad guy/s may had a buddy that gets mad and decided they need to do you harm. You don't want to start a second gun fight with a partially empty firearm.

I do carry a knife and other tools as well as a very bright (1600 lumens) light. The light can discourage someone when you shine it in their eyes.
