Just wondering what other folks carry on a daily basis.

I usually have on me: 1. Glock G23 (2 extra mags/hollow points) 2. SpyderCo folding knife 3. Zippo 4. Swiss Army knife 5. Cell phone 6. Pocket flashlight 7. Wallet 8. Keys

How about you?

You carry a lot of weapons, but no grenades.

I carry: keys, wallet, smart phone, and the weight of the world.

Well, I am just usually robbing the place, not taking it over...

But really? Am I the only one who carries this heavy?

Simmering anger that at any moment could turn into a full on table-throwing rage. Or mad laughter. It varies.

That's usually enough. Though I also have pencils, pens, a set of keys, my boots, my watch, a heavy backpack, matches, several extra layers to mitigate knife wound damage to my legs and torso, and worst of all, a vial of liquid paper. In addition to this, I have a quirky sense of humor and am flat out nuts.

I used to carry a pocket knife, but then I thought I might be giving myself an unfair advantage. I've also considered hair spray, but then I thought, "you can't draw smiley faces on them with hair spray."

lol

Just saying, what with the crazies, the robbers, etc, it seems silly NOT to be prepared.

But ok. Never mind then. Carry on.

I work with children, so I do not carry any guns or any knives. I have a swiss army knife somewhere... I usually look for it before I go camping. I took a martial arts class at the university my final year, and while I have no delusions of that making me an expert fighter (perhaps not even a capable one) if I were in a violent confrontation I think I'd feel more confident with my feet and fist than with a weapon, even if my opponent was armed.

I have my wallet, keys, phone, metronome and tuner on me. Sometimes I place my drum sticks in a back pocket, and/or carry a musical instrument with me.

I have no phone, sometimes I have this iPad. Someday the galaxy if I get it work. I carry no keys, a wallet, sometimes, with a license and card, I look forward to the day when I will need no card or biometric scan, a simple username and password will suffice.


I'm non violent, religious, you know. I don't think of my religious restrictions as restrictions, but rules for a better life. They require me to come up wih other solutions. I have several times found myself cornered by people with loaded guns pointed at me, threatening to kill me. Ive found I've always been able to talk my way out of the situation.

I've used guns in target practice. Years of video games have made me a pretty good shot. I can hit my target about 60% of the time. That's not good enough for me to have survived the number of gun encounters I've had if I had to rely on my marksmanship for survival.

Correction: once I had to run. The woman was a psycho and a sniper, and was trying to shoot anything that moved. Check that, two psycho snipers, but only one actually snot at me, the other I stayed out of range. I also had to run once from a knife fight, the attacker was a sub literate throwback who was convinced he was Satan. I don't mean this in a light gothie wannabe way, I mean in a serious brain damage way, I would like to know some martial arts so i could deal with this sort of situation.
