Just curious to see who carries what here. Some people, like myself, just carry a firearm. Some people carry extra mag's. Other people carry their gun, a backup gun, an ammo can, pepper spray, a knife, a flashlight and extra batteries. So, what's your preference?
 
Pistol grip Mossberg Cruiser under my trench coat, 3 grenades, 1 full auto Benchmade Cutlery knife, a Cold Steel recon tanto in my boot, a back up Glock 19 with 2 extra high capacity magazines, and a bandolier filled with tactical 00 buckshot rounds over my shoulder and across my chest over my large white skull t shirt.
Oh wait a minute, I was having that fantasy again where I become the Punisher. [smile]

Yep, typical getting ready to go out scenario for me: [laugh]

Actually I just carry a Glock 19 and extra mag. When i'm going out of state or to a major event where I can't carry, its an SOG folding knife.

Depending upon how I am dressed either a G26 IWB or a J-Frame in the front pants pocket. In addition I almost always have a Spyderco folder in a rear pocket. I like to carry a personal F/L when I have an extra pocket plus a small can of pepper spray. And since I have a bit of arthritis in my right foot and leg I often have a crook-top cane with me.
 
I am absolutely shocked that some of the more sophomoric types that frequent this board have not jumped on this post with their typical zeal.
Come on, guys, you're letting me down.

I carry a Sharpie (TM) brand permanent marker. Watch out, it's permanent ink!
 
an arsenal

I agree with jhrosier and emoto. Discretion is best. Don't ask, don't tell.

But I do carry a flashlight most of the time as well as pen and pencil (can be handy when push comes to shove) and a knife (or two) at all times.

With that said, if I am expecting to run into trouble I'll either stay home or bring a rifle. [laugh]

Do be sure to unload, encase and/or trigger lock your rifle, as now required.
I believe that full-capacity magazines must also be unloaded.
The birthplace of freedom has outlawed carrying long guns for defensive purposes.

So you say. I hope that is not truly "The Spirit of America".

Agreed. Of course I do carry a Surefire, pepper spray, good folding knife, and a couple of spare magazines in addition to whater else I might or might not have on me.

It varies with the perceived threat assessment, and what I carry varies.

Typical defensive equipment might include at 1911, two spare mags, Fox Labs OC spray, a surefire, and a Ken Onion speed-folder.

My other favorite carry gun is a Magna-ported, CT lasergripped j-frame and a couple of Bianchi speed strips loaded with four rounds each, plus the other defensive gear listed above, other than the gun.
 
Usually a gun and 1 spare mag, and the pocket folder that's always with me.

Usually a cell phone too, in a cell phone holster that carries the phone, a small Inova light, and a mini-multitool. I've never found a comfy way to carry a surefire or a can of CS.
 
Depends on what I'm doing. Sometimes it's an M9 Beretta and an M16A2. Other times it's a Ma Deuce and an M9, usually, just the M9.

Ma Deuce, on ground mount (mine is vehicle mounted):

A cheap one hand open knife on my front pocket, ALL the time.
A little .38 IWB with a spare 5 round speed loader in the pocket. I don't carry very often at all. I can't get over the fear of being spotted while carrying.
And a pair of pliers and screwdriver in my back pocket when I am at work with a mini mag in the other pocket.
 
When I can carry (which is not often because I work on property that MA
considers a "school" )...

This past winter I carried my HK USP .45 Compact.... mostly OWB
in a jit slide. Concealment is easy in the winter due to jacket being worn
all the time... spare mag, CRKT pocket folder.

Now that the warmer weather is getting here.... usually a Glock 19, but lately
ive been carrying my Glock 29 a bit. Also have a Sig Sauer P239/9mm that carries very well.
I might try something bigger once I get one of those high
brow leather IWB holsters for a few of my guns.

I've had this plan to try to concentrate on ONE carry gun but I can't
quite commit myself to that yet. The only things ive been able to come
to a consensus on is that the gun must go BANG when the trigger is pulled
without involving a manual safety, and that it must do so with a almost
a monotonous level of reliability. Well, that, and the provision that
it has to be a gun I can handle and shoot halfway decent, as well.
