    Default Concealing ammo

    Alright. So now we have a nice IWB setup, gun is nicely hidden and easy to get to. But what about ammo? Sure, you can wear a belt rig that will carry 2 spare mags or a few speedloaders.
    But 1) are there legal no-nos if just ammo is visible? Can you get in trouble for potentially starting a panic?
    2) you are showing everyone (including any wacko badguys in the crowd) that you are carrying.
    Can we get some educated replies to the above? Also, how do you carry spare ammo? I just made up a few leather belt accessories to carry revolver speed strips. Don't have the bulk of a round speedloader and blend in nicely.

    Although I only have smi- autos, I use an old nylon leatherman pouch to carry a spare magazine in. It has a Velcro flap over it, an if someone sees it all they really see is a black nylon pouch with a leatherman logo, so what will John Q. Public think ? They will think I have a leatherman multi tool on my belt of course.

    I carry speed strips, but keep them in my front left pocket with nothing else in there. I like you leather work looks good. I hated carrying the HKS speed loaders too bulky

    I just throw an extra mag in my coat pocket or cargo pants pocket or... (whatever I'm wearing) Never an issue.

    Revolver:Speed strips in right front pocket.

    Automatic: Not really sure, I've done the left front pocket, left rear pocket with wallet, but would rather carry on belt somehow, but just haven't figured it out yet. I don't normally carry my semi-auto. (yet)

    I have a spare mag in a Blackhawk mag holder. I carry IWB with an unstucked shirt to it is no problem.
