That video was hilarious, I reckon he is a real life ‘taxi driver’ just waiting for the ‘real rain’ to fall.

Maybe he just lives in South London…

I think you’ve got your causality backwards. People who are more likely to kill someone are more likely to be tooled up.

I also love the statistic that owning a gun increases your chances of being shot.

i had some “interesting” conversations when i was in california – about what certain folk would do if america was invaded – they do seem very paranoid about being invaded ….

others , like the guy i was over visit just use em for hunting – bloody big gun for hunting though

Firearms and violence are not automatically synonymous.

of course they are not but do you think a violent person is more likely to have /want one than a peace loving pacifist?

You need 21 ft between you and the person you want to shoot for it to be effective if it is in a holster and you are trained.
better to learn some self defence if you are that paranoid IMHO
I know he uses a knife but think how may times he would have hit them

most houses have at least some guns in

LOL at “some”. Bit like tea light holders in the UK. Most houses probably have at least some.

Junkyard – TBH that’s kind of been my overriding feeling about this EDC lark since finding out about it. It all seems to be about preparedness, and yet keeping fit and nimble, and learning basic self defence probably does more good than carrying pocket fulls of tactical gear. All the knives and torches in the world won’t stop a fat boy from being the first victim of a zombie onslaught.

Mind you, if it’s anything like MTBing, on EDC forums there’s probably already threads entitled “Have self defence courses become the latest de rigueur accessory?”

By the way, I think the fact that this thread has turned mainly into a gun conversation perfectly illustrates the image problem EDC suffers.

Makes going top a camping store over in the states interesting,

tent, check
Sleeping bag, check
Stove, check

Hmm feels like somethings missing oh yes must remember to pick up a m16 on the way out.

Correlation, not causal link….

Makes going top a camping store over in the states interesting,

Or even Wallmart…

Milk- check
Sugar- check
Twinkies- check
Pump action shotgun- what the?!?… Check

Wonder if you could bungiee an AK 47 to the top tube?

Or even Wallmart…

I was about to say that. My first visit to Walmart was an eye-opener. It’s exactly like ASDA, only with a heavy-duty firearms section inbetween the dairy aisle and the baked goods.

No.

{like I’d tell him the truth}

Fair point…

I love the fact that he didn’t take a firearm to Disneyland was because it would have been too much paperwork at the airline and not that its frighteningly paranoid to carry one in what would seem to be a relatively safe children’s environment! Freak!

Haha, the above video is hilarious.

I do like the first video’s incredibly phallic knuckleduster thing.

Tactical Pens for those who aren’t scary survival types are designed to operate in environmental extremes (underwater, deserts etc) and are strong enough to be used as tools/weapons if need be. Some are even sharpened at the tip so when the nib is retracted you can stab people.

We have some at work for marine salvage work as they hard to break and work in the wet and filth, haven’t tried stabbing anyone as yet.

incredibly phallic knuckleduster thing.

how big’s your willy?
😉

Hey, apparently my car’s a phallic symbol too. It falls somewhere inbetween 😉

Small but known to cause damage and allow an opportunity to escape when thrust into an attackers face.

LOL at that video!

“These are my sunglasses, they protect me from light.”

Now that IS paranoia!
