If I'm correctly informed, even in the US the gun laws vary because you can't hunt wild game or make target practice in urban areas (or you don't need a magazine with many bullets for self defense or whatever the reasoning may be). And other states don't folow this reasoning and are just fine.
They do vary, but you generally can not discharge a firearm in an urbanized area, simply because there is no safe way to do it.
If carrying a handgun, it is standard practice to carry two full magazines (one loaded). Basically, IF you do happen to have to use it one time in your life, it would be stupid not to have a little extra capacity (keep in mind that handguns, especially the smaller ones meant for CCW, are extremely inaccurate, so multiple shots are often needed).
