What all do you have on you at any give time?

Pro2A · August 29th, 2008, 11:14 AM

What other SD items do you carry in addition to you primary carry? Some people, thats all they carry... others are armed to the teeth. Personally I have my primary carry, BUG and an extra mag.

Generally, I have one gun, one or two spare mags, two knives, and a Surefire L1.

My load varies, but from time to time there may be a BUG in the items as well, but generally speaking I'm a one gun guy.

Everything except the stun gun. Two guns, extra mag for each, three pocket knives, one sheath knife, one hideaway knife, three flashlights (minimum), OC, and metal pen. Armed to the teeth, and beyond, and I prefer to be like that.

I most often have, aside from my EDC, at least one spare magizine and a knife. A flashlight is always in, at the very least, the vehicle I'm driving if not on me.

If I want carry any more than that then I'd need my duty belt.

I have the most dangerous weapon- my mind. I also have situational awareness along with two big guns, also known as my right and left arms.

I always have a folding knife and unless at work my 1911 and one spare magazine. A SureFire usually tucked in my rear pocket completes my daily carry.

Even if I am not carrying my gun, I am carrying my flashlight, knife, and usually a mag. I also "carry" my Judo.

I found it a little difficult to answer because of the way the question was worded -- I don't have all of these items with me at every moment, but these are the items I carry at times.

Colt Officer's 1911 + spare mag (14 rounds total), except at work
Kahr PM40 + spare mag (12 rounds total), "sensitive environments"
Spyderco Delica, always unless prohibited by law
Kubotan, always unless prohibited by law
Coast TacLite, out any time after dark, and on nightstand

I always have a 5-cell maglite within easy reach in the truck, and at home have various weapons available.

And the most important self-defense tool I carry between my ears!

My "out and about" carry is my primary gun, 2 spare mags, backup gun, knife, flashlight, and rescue knife clipped on pockets, and spare knife, OC/CS Mace, flashlight, radio, and other small items in my Maxpedition bag. The Maxpedition bag never really changes unless it's to remove my spare mags, knife, and OC because of prohibitions (court, flying, etc.)
