I know.  As I said, I play the odds and I practice with mags and
speedloaders.  The original subject had to do with a requirement for
pre-ban magazines.  I didn't think that they were necessary for 99.9%
of the civilian needs.  That does *not* mean that I think that they
should not have them.  Let's not get into that.

I have practiced those scenarios among others.  
However, please read what I said above and don't read more into it
then is there.  I stated that I do carry extra mags or a speedloaders. 
I also practice with them.

Yep.

Thank you.   :^)
