The handguns are a Glock19 and a 1911a1, and the shotgun is a Mossberg 500 special purpose.

Carry Weapons


I also have a large Camelbak that is set up as my bug-out bag. There are 10 extra AR mags, 20 rounds of 00 Buck for the shotgun, and 200 rounds of both 9mm and .45 in the bag. I also include 5 MRE's, my knife (not shown), spare surefire batteries, my surefire E2D, a leatherman, and some cash. I also keep another 10 AR mags and some extra buckshot in the trunk of my car or the backseat of my pickup, where I have the rifle and the shotgun stashed, just in case. I carry the stuff with me wherever I go just in case - zombie invasions, disaster, social unrest, liberal in the white house, etc.

I have many other handguns and rifles and whatnot, but these are the chosen ones to take the abuse and torture of getting carried around all day.

So what do you do?

I work in IT (Wireless Network Engineer).


I would rather have and not need all that stuff than need it and not have it.

You're either posting from the future, where marauding bands of morloks-like mutants roam the streets and attack small groups of poeple, or you're a farking paranoid nutjob.

For the record, I carry my wallet and keys.

I'd say the average Mormon family is realistically more prepared than all you guys put together.

If zombies attack, you guys win. If society/infrastructure breaks down, I'd rather be the guy with a bunker full of canned food and bottled water.

well yeah i know a few people whos guns do feed them.

as for the flashlight you really should have a few around the house.

I would rather be the guy that has the stuff needed to survive and NOT use it then need it and NOT have it.

so i guess if something happened iw ould be in bunker with food water and guns.

Have a cabin in the woods in southern arkansas on a lake. Pretty remote, fish in the lake, wild animals around. In the event of zombie invasion would head there since it can provide a better place to stay than in the middle of a city where other people are going to be turning into zombies as well.

What make/model is the gun in that picture?

North American Arms .22Mag at the top left, goes in an identical holster in the middle of the shot, which is a Uncle Mikes #0 with a Kel-Tec P3AT (.380)

Hell, I'm no sheeple. You called me a sheeple for saying a .45 was enough for personal defence? If I was, I'd say that your fists were enough. I just think it's silly to carry a massive loadout on a daily basis. But if it makes you feel secure, that's fine...

I just live in Canada, that's secure enough for me :)

Uhhh, I have one of those little swiss army pocket knives on my keychain. You know, the one with the little scissors, the file and the 1 3/4" blade.

WTF could you POSSIBLY need that much firepower for? Are you fighting off a Russian Armored division or something? I would say a .45 is PLENTY for self-defense.

Na, no armor, just Russian hackers...and ninjas...

hah, you could never stop a ninja with that, especially a time ninja ;) ...unless you happen to be a pirate, then you may have a chance.

I've had a lot of Swiss Army Knives. The one I've carried for 30 years is the backpacker/climber. Very handy, suits my needs.

Honestly, I hope the police/ FBI dont raid your house by accident and discover this stockpile of fire arms. lol... Even with permits, that ****** looks like your planning something.

And here is one of the big things wrong with this country today.

I am just pointing out an obvious fact...

If some law enforcement official sees 20 rifles, and 15 pistols, he will wonder WHY.

depends on where you live at. in phx, az cops couldn't care less if you walked into a store with 3-4 firearms on you along with 60% of the patrons (too many people from different states here now....)

my setup is pretty simple - cell phone, G17 w/2 mags(JHP +P). if i need more than that, well to bad i guess.

when i was younger my buddies and i use to go shooting and we would have 35+ firearms on us and cops would come by where we were shooting all the time - they couldn't have given a sh!t about it, it is just how it is in the free states :D

I love how the most important amendment to some people is the 2nd one. It just humors me. :)

Level I: Within a few miles of home, grocery store, freinds house, etc.
Note: I only carry ONE of the lights shown in this pic, whichever one I feel like at the moment.

Level1


Level II: At work, day trip somewhere but not too far from home etc, keep in car when going to mall or resaurant etc.

Level2

Level III: When it hits the fan, Katrina style disaster, terrorist attack, Hillary becomes president, etc. ;)


Level3


So tell us, which one of those flashlights is actually a fleshlight?

Awesome, I gotta get me somthing like that, those SKS's rock. I'd love to have an authentic M1 Gaurand....

I have two M1s and a Springfield 03A3. Only about 30% of my collection is pictured, leaving out my US rifles, Mosin Nagants, and the bulk of my Enfields.

Yugo SKS's are dirt cheap currently.

Really? I would love to add a Yugoslavian SKS to my collection.

Anyone know where I can get a zipper pouch like the OP has in THIS photo? The one with the Gerber multi-tool and notebook in it? I sent a PM but he is offline, and I have had no luck Googling for one.

BM Mini Griptilian and SF U2 or L1, nice choices. Where did you get the 2x123 spare carrier?

From a guy in the Dealers' Corner over at candlepowerforums.com

Maxpedition FatBoy. SpecOps PackRat? CountyComm BOB?

Got the Fatboy from Tadgear.com, as well as the SpecOps BDU Pocket Organizer. Love that thing.

I really should build up 2 spare lights for my bag and to leave at the office.
