What do you carry on your person in public?

[Pict]

Yesterday's EDC

Glock 19
2 spare magazines in an ankle pouch which ride in the truck most of the time.
Spyderco Endura
SAK Farmer
Bic
Wallet
Streamlight Nano on keyring

I am always amazed at the volume of stuff some guys carry.

The only thing that is unique for me is the way I carry spare ammo. Ankle pouches are very common in Brazil for carrying cash or other high value items. I use one of these to carry a PSK sometimes in Brazil and discovered that it perfectly fits two Glock 17 magazines when I'm in PA. I carry them on the right ankle inside. I figure that if I ever fire 15 rounds of 9mm in self defense I'll be behind cover or bleeding out. In the winter I drop it in my right jacket pocket.

Hey! I resemble that Remark!! LOL
Seriously, though at first it may seem like a lot.Once you get used to it,you feel just as "naked" without it, as if you had left home without your wallet.
Hey pict try adding this to your keyring.

In public, that's pretty broad. Where hardware isn't legal as in federal, state, schools etc I only carry keys, LED small light, cell phone, wallet and walking stick or cane. Local area malls I add a SAK & SOG Flash II. I will carry a 45 if I think I have a remote chance of needing a firearm. I trust more in awareness and a nice walking stick in most places for self defense. I keep my vehicles "stocked" and only carry one extra mag with me.
