Originally thought I had a chance, but I found out CCW is pretty much impossible to get here. Planning to move to back VA as soon as possible, where I had a CCW since 1996 til I came up here. And I''m thinking after seeing some things go bad I want a bag in my Jeep and the work car, but the work car won't have a CCW option. I repair nuclear cameras and go everywhere from eastern WV to the Eastern Shore, from Delaware down to anywhere in VA that uses my company's cameras.
My plan was a change of clothes, a hat, and a light rain jacket in a duffle in the car, maybe in winter add gloves and stocking cap in the pockets of a heavier jacket and a pair of my old military boots. But I thought maybe a pack (I have a couple old type MULE's, a beat up Motherlode, a BFM and a Hazard 4 Sidewinder from when I was active duty, yes I was an unabashed gear whore) with a water bladder (I sweat a lot) and a couple powerbars, powerpak for the phone. And some cash, maybe a lighter. I don't cary much cash on me lately it seems.
I usually have the main other things I would think of on me: Sunglasses, pocket knife and the most important is good shoes. I stand most of the day and since my "uniform" is Dockers pants and a company polo I have found that a pair of Merrells makes a huge difference. And I can get a discount at promotive since i am retired military. And I started a couple weeks ago packing lunch and 52oz of water in double insulated Kleen Kanteens with ice water every day since I have slipped since I got a real job and now need to watch the diet and up the water intake to help get back in shape. If those aren't gone, they could go in the bag I guess. Honestly, I don't know what else I'd want since I am not gonna bring up NPE type stuff.
