Five Things Every Man Should Have in His Pockets

[Kyle Weiss]

I want to know why all these women are crying around you guys, snotty hankie or not. :lol: Are you scaring them?

 

[plumbernater]

In my younger days Id always have to get on someone when I went out with a crowd for running the girls off. Thats one of the reasons I ran solo.

 

[Richard Burley]

Mr. Plumbernater: May I ask what your carry piece is? Browning? Beretta? I love guns of that size. I sold my Walther PPK/S and have been kicking my ass ever since. When I carry, it's a .45 Combat Commander--but the operative words here are "when I carry." The .45 tends to get left behind due to its weight; I carried the Walther everywhere.

I'd like to think it's because I'm such a heart breaker, but it's probably just tears of disappointment.

"I never thought to carry a firearm in my pocket. That seems like it belongs on a leg or a shoulder. Plus, if I stuck my hand in my pocket to retrieve my pipe but accidentally pulled the trigger on my gun, well, I wouldn't want to face that situation half-cocked."

When you carry a pistol in a pocket, you have to pretty much dedicate the pocket to that use exclusively. Otherwise, it could make for some pretty scary moments.

"Tough neighbourhood eh?" I doubt if my neighborhood is any tougher than any other. I carry a pistol because: 1. a cop is too heavy; 2. when danger is imminent, the police are only moments away; 3. police do not have a legal obligation to protect individual citizens (Warren v. District of Columbia, 1981). I stole that from another forum, but it pretty well sums up my attitude. It's substantially the same reason I have a monitored security system in my home and motion activated high intensity floodlights in strategic places outside the house. I pray I never need any of them, but forearmed is forewarned, as they say.

 

[plumbernater]

It usually rides in the console of my truck, but when I feel I need it it goes in my back pocket. Havent shot myself yet :shock: At home when I go to the bank store or where ever its in my back pocket. You would think here in the south you have no problems but its full of dumb *****, who will hurt or kill you for a couple bucks or just what ever. Alot of dope heads. I have folks that depend on me, and I too, pray I never have to use it. That 45 thing , I cant keep my pants up toating mine. :roll:

 

[Kyle Weiss]

Sometimes, the peppered-with-passive-criticism challenges of why I carry irritate me, so I usually say this:

"Where I live, it's my legal right, and I like guns."

That's it. No justification, no paranoia, no problem. Rinse and repeat. If they don't "get it," or want some kind of educated, political/mental masturbatory answer, go read an effing book. 8)

Is that a PFM III?

 

[Blackhorse]

Guffing? Me? Kyle...I'm shocked! lol Jeez man...you're great! Unlike some around here, you tend to take things in the spirit that they're meant. It's not like you've never done the same to ME!!! LOL I love it.

Re: the straight, subtle, system pipe. Yeah, I know they make straight systems (which has always seemed weird as the water sump is, like - gravity fed, right? So what happens when you clamp the straight stem in your mouth - without it pointing downward? Backflow! Gak!!! I mean, the design seems counter productive. Needs a one-way valve...like a heart valve.

Daily Rant #1) To me, the whole thing with the system sump is marketing and design for guys that don't smoke properly anyway. Without moist tobacco and smoking too fast, ie. hot, you don't need it. But then Great Britain and thus Ireland by default have a history in the Sub-Continent where drying tobacco might be an issue. Maybe that's it. But I think it's just another over engineered gimmick that solves what 'should' be a non-problem.

 

[puros_bran]

To EFFIN funny.

Blackhorse I love ya man

 

[Terry292]

Is that a PFM III?

You are correct, sir. Right now it's the only PFM I own, although I'm actively searching for more. I do, however, have several Shaeffer's Snorkel and Touchdown fillers.

 

[christeaux]

I keep my working knife in my pocket, and my tac on my belt(no use in keeping in my pocket where it isn't immediately available), I also keep my two multi tools and anything I need for work. I have never really carried on my hip, except for at work where I have to, I don't like the feel, or the draw from there.

 

[Kyle Weiss]

Now I gotta go ahead and guff Blackhorse back for posting his oh-so-snarky response in the wrong thread.

Or I could just let it ride and let him figure it out.

Nah...

...hey, dummy, wrong thread, but point taken. The thing is, yeah, the straight pipe "System" is a dumb idea, but could work well in a slight bend. You know, to help keep your threads... I mean... moisture from going in the wrong place.

Okay, I'm done now. 8)

Not one mention of condoms as a mandatory carry item. What a sad bunch of old farts we are............

Yeah, try and explain that one to my wife... :evil:

 

[Mordechaj]

But it could be a matter of life and death!

My pockets check is; Billfold, Cellular, Keys, Lucky Zippo, Grandpas bone handled pocket knife, and usually a guitar pick or two. I wear Flannel shirts almost 100% of the time I'm not working, so I put my smokes up there, and I never wear jeans, usually cargos. And suspenders do come in handy. I've lost about 35 lbs in the past month and a half, and my belt is on the final loop, so they keep those suckers up. Now when I'm not going to work, I usually throw a hankercheif in the back pocket, and throw a gerber on my belt. Of course it's different on different days. If I'm fishing, I'll have a bobber in my pocket, or different odds and end. If I'm going to a friends house, I may have a pocket flask. If I'm going to a attractive young ladies house, I'll carry the "Most versatile survival tool" :lol: . Just incase she has a punctured lung, or we need to carry water places. :cheers:

What was that prior comment about old farts not needing condoms? When you've had a vasectomy you're only shooting blanks. And as far as VD is concerned, when you are a certified old fart you really don't give a rat's ass when an attractive woman invites you "inside". What I marvel at is that nobody carries Viagra or Cialis for unexpected once in a lifetime "emergencies". Most old fart pipe smokers know how important the spark is to get their flame lit. They also carry a tamper to press their load in tight. That's why they smile a lot.

Word of advice: if you puncture her lung, you're doing something wrong.
