I do not belong to the gun of the month club. My EDC is a S&W Shield 9X19mm 8+1 an one additional 8-round capacity magazine. That's the way its been for a long time. On occasion an additional S&W M640 38 Spl.
Nice love to hear thisI carried one of my 1911's shopping this morning. In honor of the our troops.
You sound like me. Except my working around the place (my "puttering" gun) is a "belt gun" of sorts in the fact that I carry it in a holster tucked behind my right hip where it doesn't get in the way. It's a little Taurus 32 H&R - it's stainless, and it was fairly inexpensive, so it doesn't bother me if it gets a little dirty and scuffed up. It's always worked when I wanted it to, and that's with a minimum of care. Sometimes it's concealed if I'm wearing a long shirt or jacket, usually it's not.No, I always carry a handgun when I go out, and I see no reason now to question the make, model, or capacity.
Puttering around the garage today, there is a J frame in my back pocket.
If I drive to town, I will put on a belt gun of some stripe.
I haven’t changed the gun, but I’m about to start carrying two extra mags instead of one. My carry is a single stack 9mm. We’ve had several armed robberies of stores by crews of three or four guys. That never used to happen around here.
I believe with the quickly deteriorating economy due to the deliberate actions of "The Senile One" whom occupies the White House, that violence & robberies are going to increase dramatically & quickly. In the prolonged event that the prices of gasoline, food & other necessities soar and are in short/no supply, desperate unsavory characters will become worse, in some cases, even morale decent people may be forced out of desperation to obtain necessities by alternative means. I can see people being robbed (by multiple perps) as they approach their vehicles with a cart full of groceries or followed home & either robbed in their driveway or home invasion. . I see thieves punching a hole in your gas tank to steal fuel.
I hope so too. I recall some reports of gas thieves when prices rose under the Obozo regime. A relative living near San Bernardino in Cali said that she heard recently of folks getting robbed of their groceries in store parking lots.I clicked "Like" for your post, Lonewolf, but I hope you're wrong about all that.
Around here the thieves just walk out the front door of the store and nobody stops them. Then they go back and look at the store video. The mask mandates made it easier for thieves to escape being identified and no one was alarmed when they saw someone masked. My carry choices are based on my desire to be able to defend myself/home/family against thieves looking for an easy mark. That threat hasn't changed so my EDC hasn't either. I am considering, for the first time, of buying an AR style rifle to be better able to defend my home in the unlikely event of a break down of society due to the power grid being hacked or worse.(as LonewolfMcquad described)I hope so too.

Good time to do so considering the prices right now.considering, for the first time, of buying an AR style rifle to be better able to defend my home in the
Yea, maybe, until they hack the power grids and a few other things.
The world is actually a pretty small place anymore, and the bad guys dont have to speak Russian to take advantage and help them out.
The world being what it is and not to get political but did anyone re-evaluate their EDC today? I didn’t change my choice but I did make sure I had extra ammo in my truck and had other things handier.
Not really. Just had a talk with the Mrs. about some contingencies we hadn't discussed in a while.
