Not just talking about self defense. What items to you NEVER leave home without? What do these items say about you? Why do you carry them?
I am not a smoker. the lighter is just good sense. obviously, there is some self defense in my EDC. Most of it is just general function at work and home. Basic pain relief and management is good sense.
I hate having to stop what I am doing, to go get something that will complete the task at hand. simple, basic preparedness saves A LOT of time, and footsteps: Efficiency.
do you fit all of that in your purse or what?
On belt & Round House double knee work pants pockets. Sometimes overalls, but usually just pants. I also wear button up "work shirts" with pockets.
his prison purse
Oh I had a utility knife just like yours but I can't find it anymore or in store. Is it Kobalt? It really happens to be better than any other brand I've ever tried. And it came with a 100-pack of blades.
Yeah that's a kobalt. They feel pretty nice in the hand and you can get a 3 pack of them for $20. I recommend buying a few of them so you can have utility knives everywhere.
Kobalts are gay and fat.. Sheffield is the nice one
Husky actually makes an exact copy 2-pack for like 10 bucks
Pic is old. Now I carry my marker in a custom steel holder that keeps it from getting absolutely fricked, and I also have a new wallet as of about a year ago. Gun has more wear to it. May have gained or removed a few keys... Black Gerber tool has been replaced with a silver one. You get the idea though.
Oh and I always have a handkerchief to blow my nose or bandage a severely bleeding wound, or wipe my ass in the middle of no-where...
>I always have a handkerchief to blow my nose
my dad carried one of those his whole life.
I called it his booger vault.
>or wipe my ass in the middle of no-where...
That's what socks are for.
I also carry a wallet, not shown in OP photo. trifold, button-snap on a chain. in that wallet is another EDC item that should be in the photo. it is one of those credit card multi-tool things. also a few hose gaskets and a CO2 tank gasket. also, two sets of keys. one set is my car, home & work. 2nd set is just a duplicate of work keys with an added smartkey tool on it.

Hey I have that Springfield

same thing I have carried since 5th grade:
Keys
gum or mints
comb
victorinox knife
wallet
when I was working I carried a flash drive.
That poor Ruger has more lint than lube. Did you at least shoot it once after you bought it or has it literally never left your pocket before this photo?
It gets cleaned and every Saturday fired or not.
As a tradesman, I actually work for a living. this means my tools, my clothes and, in this case, my pistol all get exposed to dust and life.
Holster is an IWB, left hand, at the small of my back, on my belt... Yep.... pistol can get dirty. despite that, it has never jammed due to dust and crud. only jams I have ever experienced have been caused by failure to cycle with certain hollow points.
I was a mobile mechanic in hick country, and my edc never looked like that. You do you bud, sounds like you're not moronic and that's what actually matters.
>failure to cycle with certain hollow points.
I got some Hornady 'ballistic tip' or something like that, they're basically hollow points with a little plastic tip.
They're fantasticly accurate on my rifle.
sounds like what I prefer to use for my 30-30's. "LEVERevolition" I forget the name of the actual bullet tip, if you were to buy them for reloading. Flex tip?
currently, for the 380, I just use round tips. I figure a 9mm round tip is going to seriously slow down anyone who requires it. with a 10+1 capacity, I bet round tops will work OK.
after forced, legal, last choice, self defense, (AKA mag-dump) I'm going to be getting the frick outta Dodge. if I can't manage to survive with 11 rounds and retreat, it was not meant to be, I was fricked anyway. a hollow point wasn't going to save me.
Kek, I have a handgun almost exactly like that.
Have a pocket holster, just looks like I've got a second wallet in my back pocket.

Yes. We know you are Bleque.
I saw a smoker in the hospital yesterday with lung to brain nonresectable cancer, coronary disease, carotid disease, and peripheral vascular disease so bad that she failed 4 surgical attempts at endovascular revascularization and now has an infected above knee amputation on one side, and a mummified gangrenous foot on the other. All due to smoking. Addicted so thoroughly despite all this she needs a nicotine patch in the hospital. Sadly not an uncommon sight. You should quit, it's the clearest recommendation in all of medicine.

Skill issue.
Jeanne Calment is the oldest person on record, lived to 122, and smoked a couple cigs a day for like 80 years of her life.
t. non smoker but i think the body has very thoroughly adapted to a little bit of smoke exposure and it might even be a sort of hormetic stressor in the long term
one shouldn't smoke a pack a day, but most of the shit we are consuming is worse long haul than smoking. The age old, everything in moderation etc. My friends grandma lived to 104, smoked a pack and drank a 6 pack a day

If you live in such a crime infested shithole that it's normal to you to carry a gun every day to protect yourself, maybe you should consider moving. This isn't a sarcastic retort; I'm telling you that there's plenty of places all over the country where violent crime isn't a normal part of day to day life.
I live in one of the blackest counties in one of the blackest states in the nation, where the median household income is about $40K. It's not a gated yuppie community. And somehow I've never known anyone who has been involved in violent crime more serious than a drunken fistfight or wife beating.
Either I'm living a charmed life, or you're living in a shithole.
>If you live in such a crime infested shithole that it's normal to you to carry a gun every day to protect yourself,
I live in an area where violent crime is almost non existent. The chances of me needing a gun to defend myself are almost zero. I still carry.
Maybe you should go ahead and remove the fire extinguishers from your house and place of work. The chances of a catastrophic fire at either of those places is probably pretty low. No need to be prepared.
let's be honest, anon, you've never properly tested the CO/smoke detectors in your house, and you certainly don't have an evacuation plan. you just like guns because you saw it in a movie and you like to play pretend
Do you carry an epi-pen every day too? An AED? Snake antivenom?
If you feel the need to carry a gun daily in order to protect yourself, then you either:
-live in a shithole where it's reasonably necessary
-are an unhinged paranoid psycho
that's statistically untrue
>every place is Mogadishu
Not alergic, there's one on the wall, no snakes here. I'm sorry you're a homogay and are scared of guns.
every BMW owner's entire identity is owning a BMW.
I carry a revolver, an epipen, narcan, a pack of cigarettes + lighter (I don't smoke), tylenol and a tourniquet just in my jacket pockets. Sometimes a brother needs some help and you gotta be there for them. Being prepared for the worst is different than expecting the worst.
What was the process for gettin narcan? There’s so many kids dyin out here, there was one morning I found some mid-20s girl passed out in her car running behind a grocery store almost wished I had some. She wasn’t blue at least, but I was getting pissed off pounding on the window trying to wake her the frick up to move the car before she gets arrested or some shit because it was sitting in the middle of this little road.
Also would be fun to hit some junkies with the narcan just to ruin their buzz and piss em off.
>the right of the people to bear arms shall not be infringed
Its an integral component of the founding national document. Why does it bother you so much you homosexual?
not that anon but you only quoted half the amendment. proof that you've fallen for the cherrypicking meme.
>A well-regulated Militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms shall not be infringed.
"people" is lawspeak for population, for referring to the group as a whole. if it meant individuals, it would say "persons". this is standard and normal.
so it's obviously just talking about letting each state have an army with a stockpile of weapons. which was important to people at the time but kinda useless at this point, basically as outdated as 3A. this isn't some fringe interpretation either, this was the most common understanding till like, the 60s? 70s? i don't remember, probably fricking up some details, but if i recall its author Madison was the first guy to introduce anti-gun legislation so it clearly wasn't on his mind.
he did write it like shit though, which is why all the guys that want to make money off of you have used its semantic ambiguity and your ignorance about lawspeak as a convenient method of shilling their products. i mean why do you think there's always something in the air about your guns being taken away, or how after every mass shooting gun sales go up? nothing like the feelings of scarcity, religiosity, and contrarianism to push products out the door.
im white and middle class so im safe and don't give a frick. but im sick of you cucks acting like you're some kind of noble being for autistically fellating a killing machine that's statistically more likely be used on its owner than anyone else.
nah man you like guns. they make boom, you feel like big guy.
cut the bullshit, just own it.
Oh look it's someone on the internet making things up.

You act like scum don't go into nice areas.
For having such a dim view on firearms you grabbers sure are desperate to take all of them.
I carry because I can, and if you coprophage leftoid subhumans could just frick off and behave yourselves nothing would make me happier than living a long, peaceful life never having any reason to use any weapon, gun or otherwise, and on my deathbed granting you your smug shit-caked grin and an "i told you so" laugh at my expense. It really is that simple.

Minneapolis.
keep in mind that none of these "gun-toting" larpers has the balls to shoot and kill someone, let alone have the mental stamina to move past the trauma.
I bet most of them would freeze up. Whem you start getting into some fricked up situations a few times, you start to see how the majority of people react. It’s like 30%-40% of people just panic, i.e. women standing there screaming “somebody call 911!” even though they have a cell phone in their hand. Then another 30-40% of people freeze up and just watch, tha majority of the remainder will flee and GTFO, and this 5% of people, normally men, try to handle the situation and start dictating to a few of the frozen people to do this and do that (it’s not worth asking the hysterical women to get anything done when you need to act fast).
I’m not a medical professional by any means, but the number of times I have had 911 on the line while I’m checking on somebody who just collapsed doesn’t make sense, but it’s because everybody else nearby was totally fricking useless when an emergency happened, it’s baffling to a point. And I’m the one who’s indecisive when it comes to “where should we go to eat?” and stuff like that.
Been in a couple of situations were someone was seriously hurt and dozens of people were just standing around frozen. Asking the group for help doesn't do much good. You got to pick someone out, point at them, and tell them what to do. I found people don't hesitate if you single them out.
Exactly, except the panicked women can barely function if you do that, so you have to point at a couple of the frozen people and instruct them.
Well then you have even less of a reason to give a shit. Yet here you are, still butthurt.
Not at all butthurt. I speak the truth. Keyboard homosexuals talk a big game about walking around carrying a gun and being "always ready to use it" when, in fact, even if they do use it, they'll either hurt themselves, get themselves shot, or be the one in handcuffs.
So why do you care?
gonna have to file this one under cope
Living in a unsafed, goblin-filled shithole and telling yourself that it's normal and the only option is the definition of cope.
OP here.
I live way out in the country, in a good area of a good state. no gangbangers, hood rats or junkies sprawled out on the sidewalks. no mass theft at stores in town and no merchandise behind plexi at Walmart in town.
Crazy STILL does not make appointments. nothing stops some piece of shite driving down the highway from two states away robbing the convenience store while I'm getting fuel, attempting to rob me while I'm using brand name tools on a job site, or going full-tactical mag-dump while I'm getting milk at Wal-Mart.
I don't have to make it easy for the crazies. I very well might die either way, but at least when armed, I can frick up their day, and possibly save myself in the process.

>mask in 2023
I automatically assume the wearer is schizophrenic.
Unless you're doing crime, then based.
I'm going to give that guy (mask) the benefit of the doubt, based on other items shown in his EDC.
I could be wrong. it could all be for show.
I sometimes use a mask, for work. if I'm doing demo, sanding, heavy aerosol exposure or cutting stone, etc.
I'm anti moron mask, but generally pro lung preservation.
I didn't quit smoking after 22 years, just to get COPD from easily avoidable particulate inhalation.
11 years since my last cigarette, since that has also been a topic in this post.
Kek. This is pretty good. Those Knipex XS pliers are too small to be useful for much at all unless your femme-hands can’t unscrew a valve cap to air up your tires.
Also who the frick needs a bottle opener if you have a BIC lighter? Did your uncle never teach you how to pop a bottle cap with a BIc?
Are you trying to be hard with your klein and milwalkee goyslop doofus tools? Youre just as much a homosexual. I could beat your ass

All that shit is brand new. None of it is carried everyday homosexual
I have a D4V2 light now
talk to me about these defense rounds. I have seen them around. I know it's supposed to create a generous wound channel. something hydraulic expansion something...
supposed to be an alternative to hollow points, I believe.
my EDC is a 380 LCP max. it is pretty well discussed that 380 hollow points do not expand. in addition to that, my ruger hates them. I have never made it through a full magazine of hollow points without some sort of jam.
Well I had a picture of it going through a gelblock and if that was your body it would be jelly. Giant tornado cavity like 6" tall. Idk about in 380 though
I liked IPAs b4 they were cool race traitor.
Let me guess, now you’re so over IPAs because they’re popular. And you liked Neutral Milk Hotel in between the time that Pitchfork gay gave it a good rating and when they got mentioned on Parks & Rec.
Wew lad. You’re the guy who takes superhero doses, huh? A quarter sheet of blotter paper and lives to tell about it.
No I still drink IPAs because I like pine and don't care what beergays think.
Never been to P4K or watched P&R. Beauty is the superior NMH album anyway.
>P4K
Words elude me…
Well thats a first
checkout what underwood ammo offers for 380, they make essentially the best defensive ammo IMO. $30 for 20 rounds sucks but I'm not using these at the range etc
Its hydraulic jetting. The shape of the cutout causes it, not the positive + metal thats left. As the metal curve passes through nominally fluid flesh, the fluid (flesh) itself is accelerated in the Z-axis of the curve (duh bullet maeke hoel). The X-Y shape focuses this acceleration into a jet, much like an EFP shaped charge focuses a curved metal plate into a pin.
tl;dr great way to get convicted of murder in your self-defense case, cause jury is 12 emotional soccer moms "The heckin booleets!"
Saw a vid about on this. The smart people say if you’re serious about self defense and want the best chance to stay out of prison in a shitty jurisdiction, as a local cop what they use. Then when the Soros-funded prosecutor says “why would you use hollow points if you weren’t out to murder this jogger of color?” you can say “I asked the local police what they use, and I figured if it’s good enough for their protection, I’ll use the same ammo.”

how do you feel about this OTF knife you have, you feel secure with it? you feel that it has enough resistance if you ever need to stab something in minecraft?
I'd give it a 6/10 but only because of price. i paid $30 for It 3 or 4 years ago. ended up buying 3 total. on for me, one for wife, one for (hot) chick boss.
they need regular silicone dry lube, or they don't function correctly. as long as you keep that in mind, they are pretty good.
they are, oof course, cheap chy-na clones of whatever quality brand uses the raptor claw as their logo.
next time I will buy the quality mil-spec legit version, but this one has held up just fine for $30
it is my 3rd place backup knife. I only use it about once a month, when I forget my cobalt or its just too far to walk to get it.
as for Minecraft... I don't bring knives to gun fights, as the OP photo supports.

Looking for a flashlight recommendation if anyone here knows a thing or two.
-Something on aliexpress for sub-20 dollars
-Has that 2-way clip for putting on a hat
-thin and small, size of a pen at most but not so short that it's awkward to handle
-usb-c charging
check out the workkos store but if you're going to use it even remotely often a head lamp is the way to go

You anon. I have you.
what's a good edc flashlight? are surefires worth it? i have a cheap chinese made high output led flashlight and it's bright and has this incredible focus bulb feature which allows you to focus all the light on a 4" square at 6' distance.. but the switch is shit and it randomly toggles between modes with the slightest tap which blows if you're doing anything with it. The flashlight i have is also like 6" long and almost 2" thick. Would be nice to have something half as bright and half as big, also with that hat brim clip feature. Amazon knockoff brands have high reviews but there are still 1 stars with the same problems i've had with my flashlight.
There’s a bunch of decent ones, Amazon had lots of good Black Friday sales on Olight and Streamlight and whatever those few good brands are. I kept seeing this babby Olight that looked dope but I can’t bring myself to drop $100 on a flashlight when I stuck 18650s in a couple cheap 3xAAA batteries and they work great.
That Torque Test Channel on Youtube has started doing flashlight reviews the past couple months, I recommend watching that if there’s any they have tested that you’re thinking about. You can’t get a great idea of the beam/throw, the color, and the actual battery life without seeing some of em compared,
good shit i didn't realize TT channel did flashlights. I was thinking about the streamlight for a smaller one for a hat brim, but i can never tell if those review numbers on amazon are reliable.
Protip: they're not
The review #s?
Yeah I found that one out, but it seems like it’s on the Chinesium brands a lot. This one Amazon brand RXBETI or some gay shit has the same rebranded Chinesium close to the same price as the rest, but all of their products have like 30k reviews and 4.8 stars, and the postings aren’t even that old. I bought a cheap caliper because of those reviews, it’s fine but I probably could’ve saved $5 with the same shit from another brand with less fake reviews.
You can scroll down and see when the item was posted, also there’s a ratings to actual reviews with comments ratios, like if something has 10k ratings and only 4 actual reviews, probably fake ratings.

You forgot "and if anything bad ever does happen, there's nothing you can do to prevent it or protect yourself, things just happen out of the blue!"
Yes. I much prefer to act like a real man. A real man doesn't need to carry a gun. A real man carries a phone to call other men with guns.
Other men with guns can take awhile. And shit changes even more when you have a house and a family too.
Did you honestly not get the heavy sarcasm I was laying down? I can’t imagine you wouldn’t but you answered my post seriously so I’m genuinely confused.
not him, but there are real men who carry phones to call men who have guns. quite often they wind up real dead, but shit happens.
I’m starting to think there’s a moronation outbreak on this board…
I’m not going to use the sarcasm “s” like they do on Reddit regardless of your struggle to understand satire.
I mean that’s the real non sarcastic answer from libtard gun grabbers give… why do you need a gun if you can call the police and they will show up… maybe… with a gun?
>A real man doesn't need to carry a gun. A real man carries a phone to call other men with guns.
