A very few people live in high risk neighborhoods, willingly put themselves in danger by going places where stupid people congregate and do stupid things...
But for most of us the risk of engaging multiple targets in the Food Lion, Cosco or Walmart parking lot highly unlikely.
If you are genuinely concerned that five shots in your revolver isn't enough, then:
Carry a second revolver, the fastest reload is a New York Reload...
But having a spare speed strip is a viable choice.
But if you are going to worry about it, then rethink your revolver choice and carry something else...
