I learned long ago, when delivering pizzas in college, that if your only tool is a hammer every problem is a nail.

If your only tool is a gun then every problem tends to become a "Lethal Foce" problem. How many times have we all seen threads whose gist was "was I justified in drawing?"

When deliverring pizza I carried a cannister of OC, 4 D-Cell Maglite, Spyderco, 10mm 1911, two spare mags, and running shoes. It was before cell phones were everywhere so I did not have one of those.

Now I tend to carry the same 10mm, or a smaller more compact alternate, reloads, Eickhorn folding knife, OC, and a small tactical flashlight, even if these have to be left in a jacket in the office. No running shoes as I usually need wingtips.

There are plenty of times where there is aminor threat that doesn't warrant a lethal force response. be prepared.
