I like to be prepared for trouble. No, I wasn't a Boy Scout, but too many times I've been in a situation where I thought "Oh, if I only had _____ then I could solve this problem." :mad:
My key ring is my virtual toolbelt, I have a 4" crescent wrench (modded to fit up to 9/16"), a Swiss Tech Microtech 6-in-1 tool, and a Fenix L0D CE Q4 light on it. I also carry a Gerber assisted folding knife with a half serrated blade. A S&W 340 is available if a life-threatening situation should arise. And of course I have a cell phone.
So what do you carry?

Depends on if I'm working or not. At work, it's the P229, knife, ASP Baton and pepper spray. Off duty it's the P245 and sometimes the knife.

Good choices if I do say so myself. ;) I have a P3AT that I carry when my clothes won't conceal the snubby. Those Kel-Tecs are tiny. :cool:

I usually carry a CRKT M16 Titanium knife, Leatherman Wave and my Skyy CPX-1 or Kimber Stainless II (whichever seems to fit the days activities). I'm looking to get a small revolver to carry instead.

For daily carry at work I am restricted to a Gerber 500, I work for a school district and can barely justify that in their eyes. All other times I carry a XD Tactical in .45 acp or EAA Witness in .45 acp both are full size guns. Walking the dog near home it is a Taurus 605 in .357 mag.

Fronty, that's an awesome XD you got there! I've been looking at one myself. I like everything about it. Just hard to justify when i already carry a G-27. How do you like it?

well, I stopped liking glock when I held one. they dont point naturally for me. So far, I like my XD. I can conceal it in the front pocket of jeans with just a bit of the handle sticking out, but not enough to print. With the XDGear that comes with the package, I can wear the gun on my belt with a t-shirt.

Didn't I have a thread at one time on DTR about what people carried around?
I usually carry my Buck knife and phone.

Well, let's see now. I carry:
- at least a hundred bucks (this is to make up for not having any $ in my younger days).
- credit cards,
- my CCW permit,
- drivers license,
- library cards,
- a handkerchief
- pocket comb
- spare batteries for my hearing aids
- cell phone
Oh yeah, sometimes a 38 special snubbie (especially when I plan to go into the inner city or go for a walk in our rabies infested county).
