I have never been into a fire fight and I hope I never wind up being in one. The main reason I carry a spare magazine aside from having more ammunition is incase the gun has a malfunction its much easier and faster to swap magazines.

Coach is quality, beautiful and functional looking backpack.

Is this the same one, or would you have the model number for yours?

Thanks.

If I actually listed everything, it would take forever. I think the pic does everything pretty decent justice.

Only things not pictured are my cMBP, as its in clamshell mode on my desk today. And my iPhone 5S, as its taking the picture, and my pack of smokes and car keys (car keys vary, depending on which vehicle Im driving on which day), and red Kershaw knife in my pocket. This is pretty much what I carry every day for work as well as personal travel. Its my "Murse" as the fiancé calls it. The bag is a Coach Bleecker backpack in pebble black leather, but its no longer listed on the website, so it could be recently discontinued. It was a gift from my mother, who is a huge Coach fan. (I couldn't justify $600 for backpack for myself, but she insisted I have a coach bag of some kind to go with my wallet and business card holder)

That is the same as mine. I absolutely LOVE it. As I've said before, Ill spend ungodly amounts of money on my truck (my diesel, 4wd, camper, DD, war machine F350).. but for things like this, I generally don't. This was a gift, but now after having it, I would spend that kind of money myself or it. The fit, finish, comfort, and quality it has, well, all of those things come with a price tag. You get what you pay for.

And for the magazine thing, When I was a cop, I was told the reason we carried 3 magazines total, (one in the weapon, 2 spares) was, #1, to get you into a fight, #2, to keep you in the fight, and #3, to get you out of the fight. That being said, I also carry a weapon every day (I travel a lot, sometimes in bad areas, and in the country, Ive hit deer and other animals before, I like to put them out of their misery, and not leave them suffering along side the road, and Im just not savage enough to hack them up with the axe, hatchet, or shovel, I also keep in the back of the truck. Im a country boy/redneck born and raised, Id rather use one round to safely, and cleaning, stop their suffering. That being said, in all my time as a cop, and since, I've never had to fire a single round in anger, and I hope I never do.).. and I STILL carry 2 extra mags, in addition to the one in the weapon, for every gun I have on me at any given time.

for starters, I always have my iPhone 4s and iPod Touch 5 with me at all times. The reason is that the iPhone is exclusively used for texting and social apps. That's the only kind of apps I use on it. No more. The iPod has all my other apps because I couldn't fit all of them on the iPhone. My blackberry bold is used primarily as a music/podcast player and that's it. Dedicated devices for more battery life. Sometimes, I take my Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 with me if I'm going to my grans or my aunts house, and sometimes extra chargers if I don't think I'm going to make it through the day.

I carry a lot more when my son is with me. :)

Changing to a different magazine is the response to a number of mechanical failures. Like a spare tire, you carry it in case the first one breaks, not because you're expecting to drive all the tread off both.

Wait is this pocket knife for protection or if, say, you were in the countryside?
Is this normal?
I'm 15 as well, but I carry my oyster card, debit card, phone, keys, headphones.
