What do ya carry everyday.

[Mandirigma]

What in blue blazes is that headless doll thing!????

Looks like a lighter to me.

I can't say I know what other things are either like that sort of cross looking thing..

Is that black plastic handle thing, with the chord wrapped around it, in the first picture a garrote?

Don't remember its name. Stinger or something like that. Basically its another force multiplier, put it between your fingers and swing a punch hitting with the "pointy" blunt end. Kinda the same principle when a 105lbs girl in heels steps on your foot with the heel.

Lots of goodies in his bag of evil; I see HAK's, a dixie top popper, a baton, Atwood pry baby, oc, coin purse saps, weighted gloves, kubutons, not including the guns, knives, and flashlights.

And does the cell phone(Black one not gray one) look a little funny to anyone else? just guessing but either a stungun/cellphone or .22lr cellphone

 

[DZL HOG]

I was thinking it was a lighter too. /\/\ Gotta light the firecrackers with something.

I dont know if Verizon puts there logo on stungun/pistol phones? Maybe?

I carry:
Left pocket;
Benchmade Griptillian, 2 ink pens, and some loose change mostly quarters.
Right pocket;
Truck keys, cash(small bills), cellphone clipped to outside of pocket.
Belt;
Leatherman original

During hunting season(or when I carry) the XD9 is on the belt, the Leatherman is moved to my right side(weak side) and a Buck 110 is added. CRKT Triumph NECK using Mercharness under right arm.

Cosmoline..." I think Alwilliam is pulling our legs". I like your thoughts.

The "doll" is a lighter for my crackers.It a movie prop type item and was used by Robert De Niro in cape fear..the lighter lights and the nipples and crotch light up... They were semi comon 10 years ago but are hard to find now.

Firecrackers saving your bacon as a mini-flashbang diversion device - tee hee. That's up there with wall-climbing boots. I too think Al might just be yankin' our chain a little bit.

 

[alwilliam]

The firecracker thing is 100% true...if used in the right way ,noise deversion devices work excellent.Blank rounds also have uses.NO BS.

The red tippped 38spl rounds are AP omnishock rounds...ap tip rounds that open up with 4 cutting blades when inside target...old school but they work.

Long ago banned by the ppa of 1986 and on the batfe hit list... but still used.


ATF has listed the following rounds as AP ammo:


All KTW, ARCANE, and THV ammo.
Czech made 9mm Para. with steel core.
German made 9mm Para. with steel core.
MSC .25 ACP with brass bullet.
BLACK STEEL armor and metal piercing ammunition.
7.62mm NATO AP and SLAP.
PMC ULTRAMAG with brass bullet (but not copper).
OMNISHOCK .38 Special with steel core.
7.62x39 ammo with steel core bullets.


A fired omni can be seen in the center of below pic of some of my ammuntion test work done in the 1990s.

A unfired 9mm and 38spl omnishock can be seen below.

These days I most often carry:
-Case Peanut, Yellow Handles, with Chrome Vanadium Blades
-SAK (Vic) Classic SD.
-Carton Cutter, one that takes disposable single edge razor blades.

My circles of travel and some include NPE (non personal weapon environments) with Metal Detectors , wands, and subject to being frisked.

CCW, yes, except in these NPEs.

Now I have used a Case YH, CV bladed Slimline Barehead Trapper, or Stockman.
Just again while State law restricts me to a blade of no longer than 3.5", some areas have "in-house" regulations.

Total knife cannot be 3" ( must be 3" closed length) - Peanut is 2 7/8" closed length btw.

Some Restrict NO LOCKING knives, and NO blades over 2.5" .
Playing it safe, I measure from Pivot Hole to Blade Tip.

IF Health Safety Officer "requires" a locking blade, Carton Cutter is quite acceptable, and meets Safety Regs, and "not able to close onto fingers" concern.

SAK (Vic) Pocket Pal and Bantam are two other knives I have used that fit PC and Legal restictions for some environments.

Couple of things I want to bring to light.
I was raised with slip joints and lessons were then and apply today - Safety is between the ears, not on a "lock" just as firearm safety is between the ears and not that "firearm safety.

Don't laugh at SAK Classics, as quite a few emergency Trach's have been done, and I know quite a few Medical Folks that keep one handy for Medical Emergencies.

Don't laugh at small slipjoints, these too are proven in history for Emergency Medical Needs before and after SAKs became more popular and available.

i.e. Oklahoma Bombing, and the Ortho Doctor used his personal Case Peanut to Amputate a leg of a lady to get her out of that trapped situation.

He took a Surgeons kit, and these tools would not work. Time Running out, First Responders in fear they were going to have to leave the lady, as serious concerns of a "cave in" ...

Case Peanut, with its thin sharp blade amputated that ladies leg at the knee; and she then able to be extracted.

Look it up, court testimony of this situation also mentions this Case Peanut.

One should consider their environments, and circle of travel in regard to EDCs.
Remember, no tool is ever better than user of said tool.
Oh, and knives should be able to cut, and cut well!

alwilliams, You sure do have some way cool secret agent stuff... Most of this is all very new to me. I have the Chesire Cat grin happening just looking at these pics.

Most certainly I do not want you as an enemy! I am quite normally confused as it is, and need no help from you becoming any more confused than I already am..

No doubt your collection of bullets has everything you need to kill any science fiction monsters and then some, than I have ever seem in my life! I like the diamond tipped one best.. I think my wife needs to see that kit, as she loves colors...

 

[alwilliam]

Their is some very crazy stuff out their...Thats for darn sure ..to bad I can only post very old school declassed things.

A good example is The 45acp round with the white plastic sabot with metal point it is a classic. The US goverment spent millions on its design and its big brother in 20ga.

The smitar project was a design that fired a razor edge knife blade with stability fins..thats what you see in the pic the top of the blade.The design worked well.left little ballistic evidence and would pierce both sides of a gi helmet and the head in between also.Aramid was no problem for the scmitar.

Worked well for the cia and was well tested in vietnam by the rats..now just a forgotton killing tool.

 

[alwilliam]

Just for fun and info....If you were a 1930s era RR SPECIAL AGENT your edc would be this..

Solid brass knuckles,sap,a 20ga billie with holster.You would also have a badge/id and a sidearm.

You would also carry a few rounds for the billie like dm/vomit gas rounds,rock salt and low brass birdshot type rounds.

 

[Macmac]

I don't suppose there is any thing overly special in there for x wives is there?

 

[alwilliam]

x-wives...I just AVOID They are way to dangerous for any weapon.

 

[Macmac]

Awe that's to bad, I was hoping for some anti telephone super magnatron, with a gag rag with auto feature to shut her up.. Perhaps a instant presto box of chocolates with 10 times the calories each! Fire for effect ice cream, or something in that order, what ever it takes for a little peace, and I do mean to spell peace and quiet.

 

[PTK]

alwilliam,

If those are photographs of your collections, I am envious, sir! Would you mind taking a few more photographs of interesting items you own? You seem to have quite a spread.

 

[Sl2squeeze]

Cold Steel Vaquero 6"

The firecracker thing is 100% true...if used in the right way ,noise deversion devices work excellent.

Actually, that's not a bad idea. F&G use firecrackers to scare bear off kills up here. Oddly enough though while it's perfectly legal for me to carry a massive handgun concealed up here, it is NOT legal for me to carry fireworks of any kind.

 

[JShirley]

I always carry a Spyderco. Most often it's a black PE Salsa, but I seem to have misplaced it, so I'm carrying my tan Native.

I'm often in an academic environment in which firearms are not legal (in GA), but typically have a folder and small flashlight.

I don't actually have any weapons on me at all times; I attend college so weapons on campus is a quick trip to the Dean's office; Since the big thing at Georiga Tech even a can of Mace can get you tagged with the right parties.

But I do bike around campus alot, since it's a big campus; I've got a pair of cold-weather motorcycle gloves with hardened Kevlar backing and carbon-steel knuckleguards. While I'm really rather fond of avoiding confrontation, I've got a pretty damn solid right hook, and those steel knuckle-plates essentially equate to a pair of knuckledusters with a built in stamp of the company logo, so they can remember what broke their nose every time they look in the mirror.

 

[wheelgunfan]

Byrd Cara Cara/Spyderco or my Winchester pocket knife.

 

[alwilliam]

If you worked for the cia in the old days..you might edc a few of these items...

 

[Remmi]

Good Jehoozists Al; happen to have friends in the SPETZNAZ by chance?

 

[theken206]

Keys, wallet, good folding knife, sometimes a good fixed blade as well, been known on occasion to "bend" local laws and carry some items that might be "less" than legal to carry when I feel they might be needed. IE a slapper and on ocasion a ASP baton.

dont carry a pistol unless im at home or at my dads property as I am now. Then its my G26 in a sepra holster and quite often mexi' carry casually in the house.
