Great topic:

Warm weather (when I'm in shorts and t shirt):

1. Gun (sig P232)
2. Knife (Benchmade AFCK)
3. Knife (Buck multiblade folder- for those moments when whipping out the Big Black Blade would really freak someone out)
4. Keys (with Photon II microlight- white)
5. Glasses/sunglasses (clip-ons with a low dork-factor rating)
6. Badge
7. Wallet
8. Handcuffs or flexcuffs
9. Cell phone
10. Beeper
11. Watch

Cold weather (like when I have a coat)
1. Gun (either the Sig or my 4506)
2. ammo
3. knife
4. knife
5. keys/photon light
6. badge
7. wallet
8. handcuffs AND flexcuffs
9. cell phone
10 collapsable baton (Monadnock)
11. OC spray (AKA 'Devil in a Can')
12. Gerber multi-tool
13. Glasses
14. beeper
15. Watch

Yes, people pick up my coat and marvel at its weight. :D

Soon to be added to both lists is a Surefire 6z. Just don't have the ready cash yet- saving up for a FAL. I use the 9z on duty and I looooove it.

I should add a lighter to that list, but I do not smoke, and you only get serious style points from using a Zippo to light others' cigarettes, and they're a pain in the butt to keep topped off and ready to work.

The trunk of my car USED to be stocked, back when it didn't leak :(

To answer a recent question, I wear regular pants (either jeans of khakis), but even in summertime I wear a t-shirt with a button-down shortsleeve shirt over it, unbuttoned. Fortunately, this is fashionable ATM and it leaves my waistline covered everywhere but in front, enabling me to put the cuffs, gun, keys, badge, beeper and cell phone on my belt without any of it showing. This frees up a lot of pocket space ;)

As I sat here posting this I was actually amazed at all the crap I lug around, most of it concealed.

Well, a couple come to mind:

2. staunching wounds
3. impromptu tourniquet (sp?)
4. a do-rag for your hair

How about sharing it with us? :rolleyes:

Sure Ralphtt, but there really isn't much to tell. At a recent (unnamed) meet involving appoximately 40 TFL members there were several shooting in the back yard. A neighbor, formerly from New York City :rolleyes:, living over a hill and out of any line of fire called the sheriff's department. When the deputy got out of his car he said with a smile someone had reported shooting in the area. He said this with approximately 20 people firing AR15's within 50 yards of him. I told him that I to had heard shots. He just grinned and said since they complained he was required to insure we were shooting safely and since it was obvious we were he wished us well and left.

I was promised a Shortycicle and I want a Shortycicle!
 
Never leave my apt without keys, wallet, and glasses. I'm ritualistic about those things. NEVER locked myself out of the room or my car... :: knock, knock, knock::

I want a good folding knife though... I left my other one in a tree while working one day :( I also keep matches or a lighter in my car all the time even though I don't smoke. I just figure, "you never know when you'll need warmth."

The tree was just sitting there looking pretty, when something must have come over me... maybe I just turned into bloodthirsty killing machine once I had a weapon in my hands : :rolleyes:: Anyways, the people I was landscaping for now have a nice Buck folder sticking out of their tree ;)
