My EDC is a Glock 19, sometimes with a spare mag, but usually not, keys, electronic leash, Cold Steel Spartan, multiple personalities, each with excessive inner turmoil and emotional baggage, and the attitude that I am the weapon; the firearm, knife, soda bottle, "SWAT" or "Front Sight" magazine, or keys in my hand are just the instrument of an opponent's demise. The sad truth is, though, that while off work, I am better armed than at work on a military installation. I'm a friggin' firearms instructor for the military police school, I have taught active shooter response training, I have an award for valor in Iraq, yet the powers-that-be don't think I, or people like me, can be trusted to be armed on post. My very first shooting competition was the Cochise County Law Enforcement Officer Shootout, an IDPA-style match with competitors from local, state, and federal LE agencies in southern Arizona. I was the lone MP that showed up, and I took first place. I know this is a thread on equipment, and I won't be butt hurt if mods delete or move this, but once I started, the rant came out. If I didn't have to worry about random vehicle searches going on post, I'd carry my Bushmaster M4-gery with spare mags, aid bag, and body armor every day, because I am convinced it is just a matter of time before the US experiences one, or maybe multiple simultaneous, Mumbai-style terrorist attacks.
