What do you carry, besides firearm?

What do you carry besides your firearm in going about your day or night?
Myself; In addition to carrying my Glock 23 with 2 extra mags and a benchmade auto. I carry a asp baton and can of OC spray in the car( OC spray is for those pesky windshield washing people and yes I have used it! .)

Spare mag on left hip. Onion Leek or CRKT M-16 folder in back pocket. If going to blissninny location like People's Republics of Md or DC, a Schrade folder replaces mag in carrier. Swiss Army knife. Awareness.

My wallet is a modified AN-M14 TH3 incendiary grenade. My identity has never been stolen. The downside? Ever have a police officer ask you for identification? Ever have to pull out a live hand grenade to give it to him?

In addition to my Kimber, a spare mag (or two) on the off hip, and a Gerber folder in my front pocket. My permit and other ID are in a seperate wallet in my other pocket so if someone gains control over my wallet there is nothing there to indicate I am carrying. And in case someone asks - no, I do not have a fag-i-fied cop wannabe "badge." :barf: Just my permit and pertinent ID.

Besides my firearm I try to always carry:
*a knife in my right side pocket, either an Emerson or Strider
*my cell phone on my belt and my wallet in my left rear pocket with proper ID
*When the sun goes down I normally add a Surefire E2 or A2 flashlight.

I carry a Benchmade folder as well, 3 3/4"" partially-serated blade clipped inside my waist band or at the top of my right cargo pocket, depending on what I'm wearing.

It all depends. Most times I carry my sidearm and my Swiss Army knife. Sometimes I'll take along some pepper spray. I always have my cell phone and I make sure it is charged!

Can't carry a firearm (yet), but a Spyderco Ronin rides IWB at 11 o'clock. Other than that, it's just the normal stuff.. (wallet, keys, Al Mar SERE2k as my pocket knife).

In with my keys and handkerchief, I carry a small, two-bladed Browning lockback folder.
Lately, I've started to carry a Surefire Nitrolon flashlight, if I figure I'll be out after dark.
I'm thinking about getting a cell phone, but haven't yet.

When I can't carry my Smith M649, or other snubby, I carry a Buck Ranger knife.

Carry, beside Firearm.

I carry a very sharp Switchblade knife, 2 spare mags of 45 acp, a small LED light , from Walmart, . and a book of matches, In my chest pocket goes my glasses and a steel body pen. Just the things I have with me all the time. and a single edge razor blade in a pocket in my wallet.

Or maybe if they can tell you're carrying two wallets, they'll think you're a cop and assume you're carrying a gun....

When I carry a knife, I like to carry an original M-2 Schrade switchblade.
