In today's times............

Post by JRG »

Ok, a question for you folks...........

With all that's going on in the U.S. and the world, have you changed anything about your daily carry? or daily preps? Bigger EDC gun? More capacity? Perhaps you now carry a bag gun in the car or truck when you are getting out to do errands?

I currently carry my Glock 26 MOS and a 19 round backup mag on my belt EDC. I have my pocket knife and flashlight too. I have extra mags in the car.

Just wondering if I should be doing more.

No changes. There’s always something going on in the world.

No change for me. I've been carrying a full size Glock 17 with a spare magazine, POM OC, one of my pocket knives, and depending on where I am going or the time of day, a flashlight. The only time this changes is when I go to the gym and switch to something more compact and light to fit what I am wearing. Usually this is a Ruger LRC, LCP, or a Glock 43.

What he said.

What i carry depends on where I’m going, and how long I plan to be gone. What might change is maybe getting back to putting some kind of long gun in the car if I’m going to be far from home for a while.

My mom died yesterday morning, and I'll have to go back to California soon to help my brothers clear out her apartment, etc. I'm more worried about what I'm going to bring on that trip, than I am about what I'll carry today.

So sorry to hear about your Mom's passing, TAM. I lost mine 20+ years ago. I still miss her.

I don't envy you having to go to California to deal with this. It has been many many years since we have visited there. I hope it is many more before we go again.
