Nothing ever! I wear a fanny pack with a cell holder. Cannot imagine pockets full of crap. Plus, people always think Im must be packin cause I am wearing a fanny pack. Those evil eyes turn into smiles.

"Don't shoot me, I'll behave".

Dude, I think your perception is not reality.

Do you sometimes unzip that pack and reach in when someone looks at you 'weird' thinking they better back down or it's on!?

If everyone knew a fanny pack could also be a holster, they wouldn't be a decent way to carry.

The contents of my pockets are on a strictly need to know basis... Never know when I need to win a riddle contest.

If the configuration is different, something has gone horribly wrong.

I am a creature of habit, so same as always:

Front left:
iPhone
Business card holder

Front right:
Keys
Money clip (with too little money)

Rear left:
Wallet

Rear right:
Nothing

Actually, a few years ago I reversed the front pocket contents. Took a while to get use to, but it made more sense to have my keys on the right. Yeah, I think about these things too much.

I had a $50 cash back check from CitiBank earlier. I'm gonna get a double double combo from In N Out tonight. Fuck eating at home and save money. I'm trying to get a heart attack and end it all.

Dude if you want a heart attack a double double is just getting started. Finish it off with a 4x4 and clog those arteries!

None, but have had 3 close calls over the course of my life when I was doing everything right, and was saved as much by luck as good judgement. If my luck ever goes sour, I want to be prepared.

Besides, the Sig P238 is a .380 pocket pistol. Carries so well in the pocket around the house (was testing pocket holsters) I forget it's there. So why not carry it? If I had any confirmed enemies that I thought were potentially lethal, I'd move or be carrying something a lot bigger.

And that's just one item of what I carry. The rest is all for general utility and has repeatably come in handy.
