I'm waiting for a reasonThis comes from a post by Mojo2...and shows why you really are not one to discuss the ammo needs of law abiding citizens Brain357...
Why one cop carries 145 rounds of ammo on the job
Before the call that changed Sergeant Timothy Gramins’ life forever, he typically carried 47 rounds of handgun ammunition on his person while on duty.
Today, he carries 145, “every day, without fail.”
He detailed the gunfight that caused the difference in a gripping presentation at the annual conference of the Assn. of SWAT Personnel-Wisconsin.
Keep in mind...he is a law enforcement officer...he has a radio to call for help, he has a shotgun, a pistol and possibly an AR-15 in his trunk...
A civilian is usually on their own for the minutes it takes for police to arrive...if they can put the call out for help...

Still waiting on real examples of anyone needing hi cap magazines for defense.
Still waiting on why my having a 30 round mag somehow makes me want to shoot crap up.
You know what Brain 357, you could give this guy all the 30 round magazines he wanted....and not one of them would be used to commit a crime....
it is still amazing that you think that gang members who are prevented by law from owning, carrying and shooting guns of any make or model, and yet still use guns to murder people...will be unable to get 30 round magazines....
In your mind how,does that work....even in Australia and Britain, their Ganga and criminals have guns...and in Britain they also use grenades...
It's not about unable. They would have no reason to get 30 rd magazines. If hi cap magazines were illegal it would be much easier to get guns with 10 rd magazines. Why bother putting the extra effort into getting 30 rd magazines when you can rob a store with 10 just as well? Criminals don't use machine guns now because they don't need them and they are hard to get. It's the same thing.
You know machining a 30 round magazine is like machine tool 101 right? Even if you made them illegal criminals could make them, crazy people could more easily make them, because the buggers are so dedicated to whatever mayhem they propose to do.
And if you make them they are much more likely to jam. Magazines made by the manufacturer often jam as it is. Made in the garage would jam a lot.
I guess that would depend up who's garage, wouldn't it.
Your one size fits all bullshit is just that, bullshit.
Exactly who the fuck are YOU to decide how many rounds someone needs in their rifle or handgun.
