i just got a s&w bodyguard as an early birthday gift
I've been carrying it in an ankle holster for two days now
along with my primary kimber in an iwb holster
my girlfriend and brother both think I'm nuts for carrying two guns
how many of you guys carry a BUG?

You mean one?

I do most of the time

two
EDC + BUG

Rare that I don't carry (at least) 3 guns (more than 3 if going to church) But, it's rare that I carry more than 7 at a time to church or anywhere, though to illustrate to some Academy rookies 30 years ago, I'd conceal 25 to 30 guns and play hide and seek
(I have only 1 hand so reloading is slow. For me, it's faster to grab gun #2 than to reload, but same may be true if you get an injured hand or adrenaline shakes)
I might carry only two guns if I'm going somewhere I know I'll have to disarm to go in; like a Court or something.

currently:
xd45 or glock 26 as primary
AMT Backup 380 as Bug #1
DB380 or Seecamp .32 as BUG #2

After my new Duluth Trading Co pants with the 12" deep front pockets arrive (shipped today) {Reviewer says he conceals Glock 22 front pocket .... these are deeper pockets than the 5.11 pants

xd45 as primary

Glock 26 or DB9 or PT709 as Bug #1

DB9 or PF9 as Bug #2
I almost always have 3 (at least)
Is there a 4th gun?..... see last line of my signature.

Yeah, in the winter I'll usually carry a S&W 642 in an ankle holster as a BUG.

Usually don't carry a backup when wearing shorts in the summer, since the best way to carry it then is in a pocket ani I carry enough other stuff that I need the pocket space.

If one carries a Glock, is a BUG necessary?

only if the baseplate pops off the mag and you'd rather have a spare Glock than a spare mag, ...or one has marine spring cups and you want to shoot one snake on land and a shark about to eat your kayak underwater too.

I do carry spare mags.

Just grabbed an LCP last night. Now I have a 442 and the LCP. I need a new belt though.

Perhaps if it's a hubby/wife team (LEO + CHL Spouse, or 2 CHLs) and one isn't carrying, the other might carry 2 Glocks, otherwise, Only if someone allows their primary to get away from them

Personally, I do it more for convenience, so anywhere I reach for my "wallet and phone" on the side away from the robber; I'm good.

Glock with spare mags.....No back up

Some folks carry only one gun??? With a BUG I can leave a gun in the car with my wife if she's not going into the store with me.

It's never a bad idea to have more than one gun. Should always have one with you if you can't have one with you at all times.

I do
