I started a simular thread on my home forum's "firearms" section. I was really surprised at some of the comments. Many don't see the value in ccw even though our state makes it very, very easy to do so legally.

Some of the guys agreed with me, though. Maybe some of the jokesters have led sheltered lives and been spared some of the scarrier aspects of our local evening news stories. I've seen enough first hand (not a lot...but enough) to want to remain aware and prepared to defend myself.

The post:


I'd gone out early this morning to walk one of the dogs after I fired up the coffe maker.

Get home 45 mins later and get to sipping on that wonderful first mug of the day.

Empty pocket contents from my walk. These are pretty much my everday front pocket items.






Better pic of how items are arranged in front two pockets:



I got to thinking about it after getting home that I should dig around in my hunting pack and find my smallest Streamlight Nightfighter and add it to these predawn walks. I've got a handy flashlight app on the DroidX, but it's slow to access......handy for many uses, though, but no match compared to a tactical light, even a small one like mine.


What are you toting around with you on such journeys?

Aside from my wallet (plus retired LEO ID), keys & cell: 442 w/one speed strip.

I wear one of the infamous (on this board) "shoot-me" vests, but if you saw the whole me in person you would understand why it works. So my minimum for anything past the mailbox is the whole nine yards. That includes a SAK, a cell phone, and usually at least a Model 12 and two Jetloaders. If not a 12, a 15 or a 642 with two speedloaders, and the 642 is quite accurate. I usually have a Surefire 6P, also.

Pretty much the same, Case large stockman, keys w/ small flashlight, wallet S&W 638 and one speed strip.

Front pockets only, away from work, it is a light, knife, hankie and speed strip in one and keys, knife, change, and chap stick in the other. My roscoe is in my waist line. It is a wonder I can even walk with all the "junk".
