What are items does everyone carry 24/7 while on or off the job?

cell phones, knives, wallets, keys, anything random...............include what kind of item you carry.

Just curious.

Since I posted new thread I will start.

Here is my list (I am off the job. I am just starting basic.)

1. Wallet carry in front right pocket
2. A quarter (always carried one since I was 10)
3. A utility knife (Spyderco)
4. Cell phone (Iphone)
5. 2 sets of keys car keys and house keys.
6. a pen (always lose them but always end up with a new one oooops!)
7. A watch (different ones I like to collect all types and brands)
8. String bracelet on my right wrist and right ankle
:wacko:

EAA Witness in 10mm w/ spare 15rd mag (not on the job obviously)
Kershaw Blur knife
keys
Evo 4G
Wallet, money, etc

Nothing on my wrists usually. Mainly cause the tattoo on my wrist is covered by watches, but I do wear a watch to work (5.11 older watch)

4. Leatherman
5. St. Micheal's pendant around my neck
6. Ruger P-95DC 9mm in skeleton holster at the small of my back (or my Smith 1076 10mm) both with an extra magazine. Depending on where I am going for the day, the firearm I choose to carry may be augmented by a Keltec .380 in an ankle holster.

I may or may not be carrying a Sig P229R in .40 and/or a Wather PPK in .380. Don't ask cause I won't tell. But if you draw on me, you will have about 2 seconds to tell if I was carrying or not. You won't need to think about it for long though.

I carry my iPhone everywhere.
A wallet with all the essential stuff in it. (Money, cards, DL, CWP, pictures of.....important (to me) people.
Benchmade Stryker auto opening knife, black powder coated tanto.
A paper towel for blowing my (still) running nose.
Earbuds
Chap-stick.

I always seem to end up relying on my partner for a pen and often a watch. -_-

She's a heavy gun, but it makes shooting DT 180gr JHP a pleasant experience :) I'm looking at a G29 using the EMS discount soon.

I keep it strapped to my inner thigh. I just got to remember to point the handle side to my crotch, so I don't give myself an accidental circumcision (again).

a 2002 Chevy Impala, with a 62 inch lightbar mounted on the roof. Impalas (and Malibus) have a ridiculous amount of trunk room, more than enough for my equipment.

I like the DA/SA with the rebounding hammer. Lets me carry it with a round in the chamber, no safety, and not worries at all about an accidental discharge. You can drop the gun on the hammer itself and it will not fire.

And I do not like DOA or DAK. I have fired both and just don't like them. With the DA/SA at least only the first pull is DA. After that, just a touch and off she goes. B)

If I could quote an Ambiologist that frequents this site.

My keys, my wallet and a chip on my shoulder.

Nothing else needed.
