EDC: The real world Everyday Carry

Nearly all my stuff that requires a AA or AAA is now on rechargeable. I’ve been using the energizer ones for several years with no complaints. I just do a mental note to pull and charge once a week or so, and at least for my helmet AA, carry a fully charged backup set in my pocket.

But at this point, we pretty much buy rechargeable devices with internal battery. Thermacell, camping fan/light, goalzero lantern, etc…. All usb and/or solar rechargeable

LoL....

Ya, kinda looks like a toy. Nah, back in the 80's-90's and working Narcotics and the 5 shoot S&W Model 60 was the state of the art of weapons there wasn't a lot of back-up options other then a Model 36 or the Beretta 21A (have that one as well).

North American Arms came out with this little .22 cal pistol in a pocket clip folder handle. Heck, pocket clip knives hadn't even been invented yet! Anyway, you could clip this to the top of your boot or inside a jacket or pocket or wherever so if you needed it you drew it, flicked it open (like a current folder pocket knife) and cocked the hammer, all in one motion. Spent many hours on surveillance practicing that draw.

Anyway, 38 years later I still have it and it still gets carried.



Cheers.

Looks like an undercover cop and his handler at a table of coke being photo-bombed by some kid from the back-stage set of Zoom.




(I know. If I have to explain it, it wasn't funny. But Zoom was a kid's tv show on PBS in the 1970's. The cast was all local kids dressed in striped rugby shirts, sometimes doing fun things for kids)
Looks like the post office lost their lawsuit so you can now carry into the post office- if you weren’t already….

Here in Mass it's been illegal to leave your peice in your car. So, when you end up at the post office, what were you supposed to do...
