My typical carry the Browning HP, 2 spare mags, at least 2 of the flashlights, mini baton, Spyderco, Benchmade, & Gerber, phone, battery carrier, and a trauma kit.

Preparation to survive the second attack—the legal aftermath of a justifiable defense shooting—is a vital element in your defense preparations. Ignore it at your own peril.
In general we get a gun and a ccw license, and heck we even go to the range once in awhile, but have you ever looked at that hunk of steel or polymer, and really ask yourself, if I ever use this thing then what?
Hopefully you have made a commitment to prepare train with your firearm, for a fight you hope never comes your way.
But are you also training, and preparing for the legal fight after the smoke has cleared?
The fight itself will likely last seconds, but the legal confrontation could last years.
To quote Robert Burka of: Ohio Concealed Carry Defense Services, LLC
The decision to carry a concealed handgun requires you to assume a great deal of responsibility. If you decide to accept that responsibility, there are several additional items you should consider.
First, you should obtain current and continuing training from a qualified instructor in the safe handling and use of your handgun. Contact us directly for a list of qualified instructors we have met and worked with over the past year.
Second, you should search for and obtain a working knowledge of what the law says and how the legal system operates in the event of a use of force situation. With knowledge and a realistic understanding of how the legal system works you can reduce your chances of a severely negative legal outcome.
Some Very Good advice here to get you started.

For your flashlight
One need I found was, what do you do with the light, if you say have to reload?
As Clint Smith says "When you reload in low light encounters, don't put your flashlight in your back pocket... If you light yourself up, you'll look like an angel or the tooth fairy...and you're gonna be one of 'em pretty soon."

Interesting that the Port Arthur shooter that lead to Austraila's Gun Ban was a long time sicko before he shot anybody. But I suppose as good as an excuse as any to disarm the people.

Shooting threat puts Ohio college on alert
Of course can't have a gun on campus property unless locked in a motor vehicle or in the process of being locked in a motor vehicle, so everyone is pretty much unable to defend themselves.

Oh Crap-Gear
Some thoughts on gear selection, remember what you have with you is what you'll have to fight with, home in the safe won't be of much use.
For short trips to town etc, I carry my HP or a 1911, and some spare ammo, and a blade or 2, and my Surefire, there is always a "72 hour" hour pack in the car, and an ammo bag.
For longer trips I add a Car-15, mags, and another fullsize handgun, one or 2 more lights, and spare batteries, etc, in a stealth gun case in the trunk. For trips out of state etc a pump action shotgun and a mix of Shot, Buck, and slugs are added to the mix

Ok let me get this straight
Trijicon puts a bible reference on their product, which our soldiers use, is construed and twisted that we are defacto "Christian Crusaders invading Islam"
While we must have the up most respect for their Quran, and even rumors that we don't sparks riots and protests
What next soldiers will be forbidden to carry bibles or wear crosses or carry greenbacks?, as it would allow Muslim extremists to claim that the U.S. is waging a holy war in Iraq and Afghanistan?.
I really believe that 99% + of the Muslim community are likely good honest people, but they have done nothing to clean up the mess.
The Twin Towers, the Cole, the embassies, along with other numerous attacks on America, brought our military to them, nothing else.
I'd say in this round of the conflict we blinked, and they didn't have to do anything at all.
We are so worried that a reference to the bible will be used as a recruiting tool, might they just as well use an American quarter with "IN God We Trust" as one?
We are not after the people of Islam, we are after the people who misuse the the word of Islam, in an effort to hurt or destroy us. We will never defeat them by giving up on our principles, on our beliefs, we will only defeat them by tracking them down and killing them.
This is a war that we can not compromise, or coddle the enemy, they see that as weakness, and our weakness is what they seek to exploit. Remember history folks, compromise led to WWII. You win wars by being harder than your enemy, and making their cost to fight us higher than they want to pay. War is not civilised ask any veteran. to quote General William T Sherman: “War is at its best barbarism.”
"War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want."- General William T. Sherman, & "War is cruelty. There's no use trying to reform it, the crueler it is the sooner it will be over."

I've been doing it ever since I got out of college and I just love it.
"Eyes now wide with interest, he responded, "No kidding.

Off duty cop rams suspect vehicle
"If you were just a good Samaritan following this person, I don't think you'd be indicted," he said. "I think the shotgun trumps everything."
The teen with the shotgun was thrown from vehicle, and died after being rammed,

I'd say since the teen used a deadly weapon, the officers response was correct

Wake Up Call
Haiti
I'm really amazed at how fast, and how well the response is going, when you consider the logistics involved it's pretty impressive
You are on your own, how prepared are you?
Food, water, medical, etc
Yes it takes time, effort, and money, but we are seeing what happens when you are completely unprepared, we saw it during Katrina here.
Earthquakes, Blizzards, Floods happen so are you ready just in case?
You should have everything you need to stay alive for at least 72 hours, and a week to 10 days is even better.
Think about splitting up caches, in case one is damaged, buried or destroyed
Network leave some stuff at a friends, etc.
We carry guns because we know the police can't always be there, that also means emt's, rescue teams, etc can't always be there. Are you going to be prepared until help gets there?

Prince Willam to visit Australia
The specially trained officers from the Australian Federal Police, NSW Police and Victoria Police along with the royal bodyguards will form a visible inner ring around the Prince. These officers will be armed with Glock pistols and lighter weapons such as Tasers.
Special operations police, armed with sub-machine guns and shotguns, drawn from NSW and Victoria will form another outer layer of protection for the young royal.
The Prince's security will be far more low-key than the operation planned to protect US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, whose visit to Canberra and Melbourne was cancelled due to the Haiti earthquake
Although Citizens of both the UK, and Australia are banned from weapons & Self Defense

They were under the heel of the French, you know, Napoleon the Third and whatever, and they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, 'We will serve you if you'll get us free from the French.' True story. And so the devil said, 'O.K., it's a deal.' "
But the deal was suppose to expire in 1991

Firearms: Mindset Matters:
Your skills and knowledge and attitude will be of little use if your head is not in the game
Your skills and knowledge and attitude will be of little use if your head is not in the game
Competition vs. Training
I'll disagree with Ralph on this, I personally believe competition is a great way to hone your skills, and to take what you have learned in training to practice.
There are very very few ranges that will allow drawing from a holster, shooting on move etc. Plus competitive shooting instills a certain amount of stress, which is something you will have in the real world. Even quality training does not fully prepare you for the real world. Even force on force type classes do not prepare you for the real thing, after all everyone goes home after the class, in a real fight there is no "Lets try that over again". Also as Brigid wrote the other day if we do not work on those skills we will not retain them. If you take a class, then do not follow up with practicing the new skills they will soon fade in a short period. But if you attend a club match once a month you can hone and refine the skill, over time your heart does not beat as hard, your breath does not come in panting gasps. You calm down, and when you do you shoot better.
All Training is unrealistic, it teaches the mechanical skills, the hows and whys, etc, but it does not involve the distortions of combat. Does it have a purpose? Of course it does, it gives you the basic skills and knowledge to prevail.
All competition is unrealistic, I mean are you really going to take on 35-40 targets by yourself? But allows you to practice the skills & knowledge you got in training to a simulated environment. I played the game for several years, and may again. I was not a big winner, as I always attempted to do it the way I would in real life, while everyone else "played the game", but I nearly always came in around the top five in a match.

The only thing that prepares you for combat is combat where every decision you make could be life or death,where even making the right ones is no guarantee you'll survive. Combat is a place none of ever want to be in.
Massad Ayoob, has written of a number of shootings where competitive shooters prevailed
Training will give you the knowledge,skills and attitude. Competition will allow you to hone the knowledge and skills you learned in training, and you just have to have the attitude that it is what it is.
For a few we have access to a range that allows us to do whatever we want, I have my own. Hell if I want to stand on my head and draw from the holster I can. But for the large majority that's not an option, where the local gun club that does IPSC or IDPA is.
Training and competition complement each other
An End to the Lautenberg Amendment?
The Federal Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit recently accepted the Second Amendment as valid grounds for reversing a conviction under the infamous Lautenberg Amendment, barring possession of firearms from anyone ever convicted of a misdemeanor crime of domestic violence.

A Kevlar-like armor might have helped Alexander the Great
"Our controlled experiments basically dispelled the myth that armor made out of cloth must have been inferior to other available types. Indeed, the laminated layers function like an ancient version of modern Kevlar armor, using the flexibility of the fabric to disperse the force of the incoming arrow," Aldrete said.
Silk can also be used: From Black Widows to Bulletproof Vests

New Concept Revolver
A new concept of revolver, with outstanding features, The barrel aligns with the bottom chamber, this is said to reduce both recoil and muzzle flip. 357 Mag. Rhino is designed for professionals and connoisseurs. First deliveries are planned by end 2009.
Recent update from DGP
Of course after my recent purchase of a Chiappa 1911 22, I wouldn't be real interested
Firearmblog covered it earlier

Before the year is out..
The one by Shiloh Rifle Company is $3298 is a lot higher price & longer wait than I want.
C Sharps is $2100
Pedersoli & Company ranges it seems from $1700-$2000
Armi Sport is around $1200 (but checking around they seem to have quality issues)
It's a totally different avenue for me, I haven't ventured into Blackpowder for 30 years, so I'll do a lot of research before I make the investment.
Freedom, but somehow she knew. She looked at me and wrapped both her wings around me to where I could feel them pressing in on my back (I was engulfed in eagle wings), and she touched my nose with her beak and stared into my eyes, and we just stood there like that for I don't know how long. That was a magic moment. We have been soul mates ever since she came in. This is a very special bird.

Double Standard in Washington?
"There is this standard where the Democrats feel that they can say these things and they can apologize when it comes from the mouths of their own," Republican Party Chairman Michael Steele, who is black, said Sunday. "But if it comes from anyone else, it's racism."
Guess it's which side your on.

Although I 'm not doing a lot of traveling, there is always a 72 hour pack in the trunk. (water, food bars, space blankets, extra ammo etc). Ya just never know. You can die along some snow packed interstate, as easy as you can die in the wilderness.

Anti gunner threats
And here
I can't recall ever reading a post by a Gun Blogger threatening anyone, with violence, but boy, you do run across a number of anti's running their mouths, and this guy is even offering to come to our homes and punch us out, because that's the way he rolls.
One of the more interesting aspects of those who do legally carry a firearm, is they tend to be non confrontational, whereas the the Anti's are very confrontational, whereas they shouldn't be carrying guns. As they would likely use their guns to settle the most common of differences. I would suspect that the studies that indicate liberalism is a sign of mental illness, may well be true
Guess he didn't like my comment on his blog, Now he has deleted the entire post, guess he is not man enough to stand by what he said, all hot air and nothing else.

In Asia they have a thing for acid

Is there like a "Right to Own" acid? It is amazing the ways people find to hurt others.

Some Do Turn Around
I've had a few students, that had old felonies haunting them, & all were able to get them expunged. They had that "one" run in with the law, but turned around and had productive lives. Really most everyone did something when they were younger that could have got them in a whole lot of trouble if they had gotten caught.

Shoulder Holsters
I've never been a fan, as they seem a bit harder to conceal, and you have to reach across the body to draw, and in close quarters, an attacker could pin your arm against your body. But with the onslaught of winter weather, I can see getting to my hip holster buried under heavy clothing could be a problem.
Guess I'll have to see what is out there in a vertical shoulder system, I use to have a front break (I think Bauer Brothers) for a Security Six, that was pretty fast, I'm not up to speed on what is currently out there.

Bigger Than I knew
Uncle blogged about the Uzi TacPen, which seems to still be limited to dealers, and features a "DNA Catcher", but pretty much anything you can stab with will get you a DNA sample.
I had seen SureFire's line, but it seems to be a growing market, some are being sold under the Schrade, and Smith & Wesson names, Benchmade makes them, Timberline, Cold Steel and I'm sure others.
Put the word "Tactical" on about anything you can sell it, you can do the same thing with a Parker, or even a Bic pen
