What's the one thing you never leave your house without? Mine is my Ruger SR9 and an extra magazine. I don't even go to the gas station down the road without carrying it.

I always carry my keys and my cellphone whenever I leave the house. It is like I'm naked without these two things in my pocket.

Well keys as I need to get back in the house and money as I will more than likely buy something if I am out. Rather than not not much I feel I need to always have with me. As far as a hand gun I don't even carry that in the woods.

Hard for me to get away without my dog.

Keys, Wallet and cell phone. As far as the woods go - the Ka-Bar Kukri machete. Its so useful, and scary-looking as hell if someone thinks twice about messing with you.


Read my blog with its now correct address:

Do not lead, because I will not follow. Do not follow, because I will not lead. Just stay the Hell out of my way and leave me alone.

I don't ever leave home. It's scary out there......

Pocketknife and Zippo are almost allways in my front right pocket.

We have a thing in our house since we are both ex-smokers and sometimes (esp. mornings when we are still waking up running out the door) and its "Phone, keys, wallet, ecig"........someone always forgets one or the other. A quick dash out the door and then lock yourself out standing in the rain does that to a person. Do not ask how I know.
