Light a Candle Against Violence

My candle lantern is lit against violence and my first lines of defense against violence in home and abroad, respectively, remain vigilant in both light and darkness.

From left to right: Ruger GP-100 .357 magnum 3", Boker Trench Dagger 5.5", Cold Steel Mini-Tac Tanto 3.5", Smith & Wesson 639 Bodyguard .38 Special 1 & 7/8"

For more of this head over to Weerd Beard's master post.

What's in Yer Walle- Er Pocket?!

I'm really more of a knife guy these days than a gun guy, so when I noticed my pal Weerd Beard posting about a knife meme, could I ever resist the peer pressure?

I carry these two just about everywhere. The noticably colored tactical folder is my new Benchmade Griptilian. It is to EDC knives what the Glock 19 is to duty handguns and the Smith & Wesson 642 airweight is to CCW revolvers. It is a standard. I work at night, so harder to loose colors in my blades, isn't exactly a bad idea.

The second blade is my neat Cold Steel Mini-tac Tanto. It is in no means perfect, but it is a great offhand defensive carry knife. Excellent hand retention, remarkably sturdy, and sharp enough to make someone very very sorry for getting too close.
