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.

Pic is old. Now I carry my marker in a custom steel holder that keeps it from getting absolutely fucked, 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 fuck outta Dodge. if I can't manage to survive with 11 rounds and retreat, it was not meant to be, I was fucked anyway. a hollow point wasn't going to save me.

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.

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 fucking 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.

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.

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 fuck up their day, and possibly save myself in the process.

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,

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.

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.

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.”

"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 fucking 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 fuck. 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.
