Joyce began filling the magazines, then placing the full magazines into the pouches. Once finished, she put one of the belts around her waist and adjusted it. Snug, but not too tight. She was surprised at how heavy it was. She put one of the handguns into her holster and secured the flap over it. Then she holstered the other two guns and carried one belt, along with an AR-15, up the stairs to check on the other two. “How are things going up here?” “Fine. Nothing going on.” “Good. That’s what I was hoping.” She leaned the AR-15 against the headboard, next to the window, and handed the extra web belt to Linda. “It’s still in safe mode. You’ll have to cock it if you think you might need to use it.” Linda understood and asked no questions.
