LOL, so if some kids break into your place to steal some beer ("unlawful entry and committed a crime") you'll just gun 'em down right? Gimme a break..................I'm moving to Canada

Why Canada? Oh yeah, the drinking age there is different than the US, therefore fewer kids feel the need to break in and steal your beer. They can purchase without the need to steal your stuff..

Anyway, have fun in Canada.

I think it's now time to get back to subject... if i remember correctly it was something about EDC items......

Keys,
L1D,
wallet,
phone,
and sometimes a knife/other tools needed for the day.

My 340PD is what I carry daily. Sometimes if I'm heading to bad area or doing a large cash transaction I carry a Glock 23.

If you break into my house, you're meeting my AR15.:thumbsup:

I think wotblake was defending the choice of a .357 revolver for EDC, not necessarily for home defense.

My firearm of choice for home defense is rifle. A shotgun would be a good second choice in certain limited circumstances. Neither of those is very appropriate for EDC.

. Thanks for the bit of humor at a time when things were gettin' a little too serious in here!:sick2: LOL....way loud!

 

[qip]

theres just no way those keys can fit in those shorts ...just no way :laughing:

 

[djans1397]

Seeing all these necessities that we all carry makes me wonder... does everyone carry this crap in their pockets or as some appear to do in here in a pack?

Since I started carrying a firearm, I've been looking for just the right pants to carry all my knifes, cell phone, spare mags and keys etc. Now that I've become a flashoholic, I'm about to run out of pockets to carry everything in, unless I want to wear cargo pants every day that look like the seems are about to bust out packed to the hilt!

I don't want to look like a throw back to the 80's geek wearing a "Fanny Pack", but the Maxpedition stuff looks very practical.

So what DOES everyone carry their essential gear in?

Doesnt really seem fair getting gunned down for stealing beer does it.
However i doubt a sensible person would ever use lethal force for that, if your life is threatened thats diferent.

If you hated someone you could invite them over and then say they were a intruder and shoot them.

Evey system has its flaws

In the warmer months, I wear Woolrich Elite Series men's shorts w/10 pockets.

In the cooler months, I wear Woolrich Elite Series men's pants w/12 pockets.

Ok... so in your scenario, you know exactly why the kids have broken into your home? How did you get the information that these are innocent school children who have simply lost their way and only want some beer, rather than knife/gun carrying gang members who will do anything to avoid being sent back to prison? If they are in my house, in the middle of the night, they had better listen VERY closely to my instructions.

Good luck in Canada. I'm sure the government will keep you safe up there.

BTW guys in case you do not know. It is not advisable to put a lot of stuff on a keychain which your CAR keys are attached to. The weight of a bunch of stuff pulling on the ignition of the car is bad for the IS and will cause rapid wear and tear.
I have my car keys on a quick release so that they are the only things hanging from the ignition switch. I highly recommend that you do the same. Adding things like knives multi tools flashlights are just too much and may cause the switch to fail.

We all are legally and ethically obligated to find every possible solution out of a violent encounter before we can escalate to use of the gun.

"Even to the point of getting beaten up and humiliated, if it doesn't rise to the standard of grievous bodily harm or crippling injury, we just have to take it. That's the standard nationwide, CNN reports to the contrary.

I'm sorry to go off track but that is the stupidest thing I've heard in a LONG TIME!

:thumbsdow

So are you supposed to get bruised or wait until his closed fist becomes a pointed finger and you lose an eye?!?

If you think an attacker is only going to bruise you a little, then you are an absolute moron. Once a physical attack begins, ANYTHING can happen. I remember seeing a fist fight that suddenly escalated when one person pulled a knife and stabbed the other.

Unless you're a mind reader, you have NO IDEA what your attacker plans to do. You don't know if he wants to give you a fat lip or poke your eyes out. Use whatever force necessary to protect yourself.

If you use a gun in a fistfight, you will go to jail. For a long time. Unless and until your attacker crosses the line from ordinary force to DEADLY FORCE (force likely to cause death or great bodily harm), you are not justified in using deadly force yourself.

You can't shoot your attacker because of what you think he "might" do. Sometime, ask a police officer about the "Use of Force Continuum".

I carry my stuff in a pager case made by RipOffs, if you go back a page or 2 you'll see the link.

Other folks have used 5.11 pants, regular BDU-type pants, or NiteIze or RipOff belt pouches.

Please be specific about what jurisdiction you are referring to, as this is not true in all locales. As posted above, Colorado is among the states where a citizen can use lethal force even if the intruder is not making any threat of injury.

If you want to take the discussion into moral or ethical grounds that is one thing, but as far as legal justification for lethal force your statement is not correct.

You can't shoot your attacker because of what you think he "might" do. Sometime, ask a police officer about the "Use of Force Continuum".

In Colorado, in certain contexts, police officers are more restricted in the use of force than civilians.
