One thing that most of the gun-carrying community can agree upon is that the right to protect oneself and one’s family is universal. Regardless of who you are or what you do, you deserve the ability to level the playing field when it comes to keeping yourself safe…as long as you only do it by completely overhauling your lifestyle to accommodate this very specific list of tools. I mean, if you’re not carrying:

  • A full sized handgun (Glock 19 or comparable)
  • A spare magazine (at least 15 rounds, but if you’re serious about this you should probably have a +5 extension on that bad boy)
  • A backup gun (because either you’ll have to arm someone else or you’ll get shot in the hand, damaging the pistol in the process…but you still need the spare mag)
  • A knife. Like a combat knife! Because you’re going to need something once you run out of that 43 rounds of ammo, or you’ll need to carve somebody off of you during a gun grab!
  • A “flashlight” which in actuality is a lightsaber, because anything with less than 1500 lumens that also doubles as a kobuton is pointless
  • A full trauma kit including tourniquet, chest seal, wound pack, chest decompression needle, nasopharyngeal airway, and gloves

Then why even bother? Because clearly you don’t take this seriously!

Now I’ll let you in on a little secret: I used to carry everything on that list. On…
