TR

Me too, sorta! It only got up to 81° today, so I'm wearing sweats and a flannel shirt. :D

Micro Mag, green Photon, chapstick, Casio ToughSolar ABC watch, and specs. Oh, and my super-duper fancy Tracfone smartphone phone. :D

There is some other stuff nearby. ;)

I use my phone to take notes when needed. Note that there are additional items in my home, my vehicle, and my office, and that I usually am outside of those three places for a total of approximately twenty minutes daily -- only walking from the subterranean parking garage to my office and getting take-out lunch. Although I wish I could carry during that time, I'm close enough to my office and vehicle that I'm OK with the risk . . . :munchin

Since I'm at work and in uniform - I am required to be defenseless. The only thing I have on me is a Benchmade Mel Pardue folder that I am sure will be classified as an "assault-weapon" when the bliss-ninnies running this Army get around to it.

I am however fully SHARP certified and qualified. Working on my resiliency as well. At least when I get shot for lack of shooting back I can be resilient about it.

Here in Arizona we carry what we want, where we want, no reason to go small.....;)

TS, Is that an O-ring or hair tie? :D

I forgot my bic, but pictured below are my keys (yep, that's a rifle shaped house key), smartphone for internet/camera, low-tech cell phone (because it's cheap) w/pouch, Pro-tech auto folder, Gerber, wallet, and my tunes dispenser.

Unarmed by policy at work so this is it.

G-Shock Mudman.
Paracord bracrlet.
Kershaw Blackout in need of a cleaning.
Key Chain with beer access device.
SOG Power Lock S62N-CP
Wallet (not shown) with enough cash for rations (as long as it's a Snickers).

EARBUDS
FRONT POCKET WALLET
GERBER 230V
MINI GERBER KNIFE
SUUNTO CORE WATCH
PEN,PENCIL SHARPIE
POCKET CHANGE MY ALLOWANCE FROM HOUSEHOLD 6 ;)
PHENIX PD35 FLASHLIGHT
AND KEY FOR THE POV
AND SMALL X PROOF BAG IN CASE IT RAINS

unprepared in scrubs ... but since I am in my office, the 9mm is within my reach in the gunvault in less time than it took to type this.

Added a Leatherman Squirt PS4 today. It's smaller than a tube of Chapstick. :D

When I go out the door wearing sweats or elastic waist banded shorts, I carry my wife's .38spl LCR in a Remora holster (the .45 USP and Crossbreed pull my pants down :o).

Pat

Not sure there are any tips to be garnered from my debris but here it is:

Attachment 27996

Post caught me coming home from school..... Ah well.

Left to right, I've got my phone, my wallet with my two ID's, 15 bucks cash, and a limited use padlock pick on a chain.

I am shocked at the number of people who do not carry knives.

TR

MR2 doesn't really have a place to carry one .....

I usually (not today) have a first aid bag with some paracord, wire cutters, zipties, duct tape, and super glue, but if I was seen with a knife at school it'd be off to the stockades with me. Then again, according to recent district policy, duct tape might get reclassified as a weapon too. :rolleyes:

My M-F loadout
 

On the weekends, I usually carry my Gerber Strata on my belt. Other than that, this is my typical EDC.

Firearm: Springfield XD 40 w/Kramer IWB holster (unless I'm jogging or cycling...in that case, I carry my S&W Bodyguard 380 with a custom rig from Raven Concealment that I wear underneath my shirt. It doesn't bounce or chafe against me and feels very secure).

Watch: Garmin Forerunner 410

Knife: Spyderco Native but *** ah-hem cough cough*** I'm waiting for a certain DJ Urbanovsky to complete our little custom project (a colubris mid tech hybrid - I think it'll be one helluva blade). I always have my blade unless I'm flying. I even sleep with it clipped to my boxers. Years of Kali and Silat have sorta honed that trait for me. Besides, blades don't misfire or jam.

Bracelet: I carry my wife's ID tag with me for sentimental value. I made this for her first deployment to the sand box and wore it often. I made her a similar one, but it has blue instead of pink and yes, I catch hell for wearing a pink/multi-cam bracelet. In my defense her platoon refers to her as Combat Barbie, so it's all in good fun.

Wallet: If you've seen Pulp Fiction then you know who the bad mother f'kr belongs to...if not, then skip to the 1:16 mark on this vid.

Phone: Droid Nexxus 4

Planning to kidnap someone are we? :munchin

Here's what I've got
3/20th SFG(A) coin given to me in Afghanistan
Glock 17C with a Ronin Concealment holster in Ghost Gray

550 cord survival bracelet with cuff key buckle
Cross pen
Blistex
SEREPICK Executive Kit
SEREPICK Entry Card
Shark skin leather Kevin King wallet

This is my work day EDC, minus my red bandanna snot rag and iPhone 5. I forgot to put in the picture, as the pollen is hell here and I was blowing my nose during the photo.:D The iPhone 5 is in an Otterbox Commuter Wallet case. It has a slide out compartment that holds my DL, AMEX, Visa and one folded bill. Phone contains all my insurance cards, etc. in photo form. So that's the wallet. Key ring contains keys, gym e-pass, Maratac titanium lighter, Swiss Tool, Photon II light, Spyderco H1 Ladybug. Wallet holster with L.W. Seecamp .32 with Hydrashocks. Emerson knife, Sreamlight Protac 1L, Fischer Spacepen, Maratac Embassy pen. Cap and Costas. Rings. Watch d' jour ( on wrist.) I work in scrubs , so that's everything I can carry without losing or creating a profile. BTW, what do you call a hooker with a runny nose? FULL!

I'd much rather be able to tie somebody up than hope I can keep them down. That, and I meet a surprising number of people in need of such things. My school is more or less full of home-brew programmers and computer guys, and somebody always needs to stick some wires together/left their screwdriver at home. It is a little disconcerting when people just say "you don't want to know" when I ask what they needed it for though......

Chapstick, grizzly wintergreen long cut, kershaw ken onion, keys with gym tag, wallet with about 60 bucks cash plus debit card/ID/insurance card etc, hat, and cheap wayfarers. Not pictured is my iPhone that was used to take the picture. Stronger defense capabilities to come after my birthday in two weeks.
