What do you carry and how do you carry it?

[iBlue]

But (1) how do you carry tampons; and (2) avoid getting mugged or knived in London with a camera bag?

(1) potentially the same bag, but lets not get too specific. (2) I pay attention to my surroundings and I pack a really mean punch and kick, which need no bags. A tripod would really hurt too and I often have one of those with me as well. I'm not the easiest target, as a failed mugger has already found out.

Out of interest, which Airline was it? BA didn't have a problem with me taking a camera bag and satchel.

Air New Zealand on a flight from the UK to the US. They are actually a good airline but I think there was a misunderstanding with the bag thing. It turned out to be no problem anyway.

Two torches and two knives? Really?

 

[Tomorrow]

Yea i agree, compairing a knife to a pencil is just stupid. Its people that think like that who shouldn't own one.

Why would you say that? I'm no more apt to stab someone with one than I am the other.

Sorry for the poor quality photo, taken with my iPad that I carry with me about 50% of the time.

• Smith & Wesson 442 .38 Revolver in a Desantis pocket holster
• 5 Extra Rounds
• SOG Trident Tanto
• iPhone 4
• Crappy wallet falling apart
• Keys too, forgot to photo those, nothing special

Aside from change in my pocket, I don't generally have anything else on me.

Two is one and one is none...or so the saying goes.

I like it but is it yours? And if so, is that an expandable baton and a lock pick?

 

[Firestar]

Pockets-wallet (sometimes), phone, and maybe some change.

Backpack-school stuff.

Thanks for asking. Yes, it is mine. The one item you asked about is a Kubaton (not expandable) and the other is a pocket screw driver set. I do tend to carry a lot of stuff with me daily.

Right it's a Kubaton, I forgot what they were called and for some reason I immediately thought truncheon when I saw it which is a completely different weapon. That's cool, I also carry a lot of stuff everyday, but I already posted in this thread.

Why do so many of you carry around guns and knives?

Are you serious? You can't just leave those things lying around, somebody might take 'em - or worse, a kid could come across and find them!

It is part of EDC (every day carry). IMHO, just like anything else, it is better to have it and never need it, than to need it and not have it.

 

[iMemories]

Here's what I carry on me:

Fox Labs 5.3 Mark 5 4oz pepper spray in holster.

Coast LED Laser P7 (Bright as heck).

Macbook Pro 13'' in a iLuv zipper sleeve case.

How many cards are you able to put in your beyza case?

This is my favorite thread of the entire forums. I love seeing what everyone has in their bags. I am looking to buy a new backpack for work and once I do I will post what I carry and how I carry it.

I'm still quite shocked about it to be honest, is it an American thing?

Do people just carry guns around shopping, to the beach, etc?

Some people do, others don't. Here in Texas, there are places where you're not allowed to carry a firearm, and I believe that property owners can prohibit carrying as well. I can't imagine carrying a handgun to the beach, what with the sand and the salt water and all. Besides, most people at the beach are dressed for such, and not really equipped to carry a hidden weapon or wear their running shoes for a quick "smash and grab" type of robbery and getaway, so protecting yourself from such an attack isn't such a high priority.

I carry a pocketknife, but I don't own a gun. My knife goes with me pretty much everywhere except the airport, and it would go there with me if it were allowed.

There are a large number of people in the United States with permits to concealed-carry firearms.

I carry my gun with me 97% of the time. I work at a screenprinting shop and the owner doesn't mind, and most places that I hang out, it's permitted at well. I can't take it in the post office, schools and colleges, bars, casinos, etc, but aside from class and the post office, I have it in my pocket almost all the time.

It's just like carrying a knife or a cell phone, it's part of what I put in the pockets when I get dressed. It's just a tool that I carry with me daily. It's relatively unobtrusive, and I pray that I don't need it, but if I do, at least I know I have the ability to defend myself and my loved ones.

It's really not a fear thing, there are [rare] days where I leave it at home, and I mostly feel fine, but at least my having ensures that I'm prepared and can pose an equal threat to anyone who may threaten me, that's all.
