This is today situation but imagine the Blackberry is in the phone holster (not in my hand taking the picture). I could list full contents of wallet, but I have the same crap as everyone else in the wallet. I have the Keltec today cause it is much easier to carry golfing!
My wife laughs at me when I'm getting ready to go somewhere. I've got to pat with my hand every pocket and holster to check and make sure i have everything i need. I do it right at the front door and I usually forget something.
Heres my kit:
Pistol
spare mag
wedding ring
keys
utility knife
weapon retention knife
flashlight
OC spray
wallet
cellphone
I need a better belt maybe i should invest in a bat belt.
Gun
spray and or taser
keys
wallet
phone
Sure fire light
As far as cuffs and or flex cuffs, if gun point is not enough they will have a very unpleasant day. My job is no longer to ensure their safety by restraining them. It is to ensure mine by a combination of words, hands on force, less lethal option, presentation of lethal force, lethal force. The continuum can go from (words) excuse me, to an empty pistol in fractions of a second, all up the the person threating me. I choose not to give him the option to play nicely once the cards are on the table to an unrestrained individual, the rest is up to him.
