shark wallet. for just a wallet, or because its hard and can be used as a weapon? Like water bottles, and Kubotans ?

Way too light for that, it'd probably be more annoying than dangerous [emoji23] You'd throw it at someone and they would just look at you like "dafuq you do that for?"

But it's compact and great for protecting all those cards.

But while they are laughing , after you throw the Shark wallet at them, you can pull your Taurus.. Misdirection is a very useful tool..

you have a steel Tanfoglio , I have an early EAA witness. bought in 92 close to when they first started up shop here. Its a 45 acp full sized, but I also have the 38 super and 10mm barrels, slides and mags for it too. Its one hell of a gun. I use to carry that one when I first started CCW, but talk about something that will pull your pants down

You're way overthinking it - the wallet is so small it makes virtually no outline, the outline of the gun in the holster looks like a wallet

I wear a heavy duty rigger belt, it stays in place even with the gun hanging off one side, a carrier with two spare mags on the other and cargo pockets full of AR mags or clips for one of my milsurps (at the range).

A very thin wallet (Mr. Lentz, good stuff...)
Nexus 5
Keys w/ Maglite Solitaire
Small Buck knife
Cheap sunglasses

No immediate plans to conceal carry, even once I have the permit.

Taurus PT740 Slim +1 w/8 rd. extended magazine, OWB DeSantis Mini-Scabbard concealed under untucked shirt - may or may not have a double mag belt holster on weak side w/2-8 rd. mags - or most times in truck door pocket. I carry wherever legal.

Since this I've buggered the KaBar sheath clip beyond repair so I don't carry it any more. Am looking for another fixed blade to replace it but haven't settled on one yet.

XDm Compact in 9mm, and I carry everywhere legal to do so. (Which is why I NEVER go to Illinois)

A knife. I've carried a knife since I was 8 and got one from my uncle for Christmas.

Even if I had a carry permit, I can't carry at work, can't carry at the schools or practice fields or games my kids are at, I don't carry at home because I live in a place where statistically it's not needed and I'll be more likely to hurt myself or someone I care about.

So a knife it is.

If my situation was different, I'd get a brushed Ruger SP101 in .357 magnum and carry it with a hot .38 special HP load. Something about that gun draws me. Must...resist....

Those are kick ass pistols. I keep threatening to get one and all the caliber conversions. One of these days I'll follow through with that threat.

Resistance is futile.

When you're constantly going in and out of carry/no-carry areas, that's when you get the pocket gun...better than nuttin.

Pretty much every day since 1970.

I'm resisting while looking at 6" or 8" barrels for my Dan Wesson .357. I could always get the 2" barrel and carry that too.

But the Ruger shore is purdy. Big enough, but small enough. 3 rounds of .38+P HP followed by 2 rounds of .357 HP would about take care of most situations I could think of.

Too many guns, not enough money.

I rarely carry during daylight hours unless I plan on returning to a dark house after dark. Sometimes I need to make a run to an all night grocer late at night for milk, eggs or what not, then I do. I then carry a Smith & Wesson 638 Airweight 5 shot 38, and extra rounds in a pouch with the rubber quick strips.

Just my keys and wallet nowadays.
Used to carry (1911) but I don't want that responsibility anymore.
I don't feel that threatened.

Here in st louis, the bad guys are actually hiding in garages or next to them when most people are getting home from work, and then pull guns on them, sometimes shoot or just pistol whip them, and take their cars. Hell, we have a drive by shooting just 3 blocks down from my kids school a couple weeks ago, at 9 AM in the morning. They shot the family up while they were pulling away from the curb in front of their house. . CCW might not do much good in these kinds of attacks, but you never know..

Sounds like a feller could have a hell of a time in Vegas with all of that. I remember the day I stopped worrying and learned to love the bomb.

How do you ensure your Purity of Essence?

I am guessing the original post was about carrying guns and not a general pocket dump.

I don't carry a firearm on me during the week, due to workplace restrictions. Weekends I may pocket carry a S&W 642, but not always.

Nice to know you have a bad attitude about educating children while being paid by the public dime.

If you don't like it, maybe you should consider another line of work, Libertarian. Job creator maybe?

Wow.

So nice of you to tell me what I'm allowed to think and feel while I wait, unarmed, for a glorious Spartan death defending my kids from a Ritalin-crazed psychopath, only to have my demise used as evidence to further diminish the Second Amendment to my beloved Constitution.

Thanks.

I carry a 4th variant Mauser HSc, circa 1944.

None of this modern crap.

Previously I was carrying a Kershaw Blur. Loved it, but when it came time to upgrade decided to pick up a Benchmade 583 which came in today. Hell of a knife.
