frakking contagious
Happened to stumble across this meme over at RideFast's, and next thing I know, I was infected. Figures.
1. Dump the contents of your pockets (and, in my case, my belt) in a pile.
2. Take a photo of the contents (click to enlarge).
3. Be brave and explain to your fellow bloggers what the contents are.Easy enough. From the top left, clockwise... My Surefire 6P Defender, a handkerchief, my keys (and, yes, I do know where all of those keys go, amazingly enough), a spare six round magazine, my Walther PPS in 9mm, my mark-1, mod-0 leather wallet, my Motorola KRZR cell phone, and my Jeep pocket knife.
4. Find a story in the pile.
The Surefire is something of a byproduct of my Navy service, and especially my first ship. While she is younger than I, the power and lighting situation onboard was... far from stable. And speaking from experience, there is little darker in this world than a below-decks compartment on a ship when the lights are out and the battle lanterns are non-functional/missing/out as well.
5. Describe the contents of your pockets.
Stuff you could find in the pockets of a geek/Person of the Gun/toy junkie/always prepared type.
6. What is the most important thing in your pocket?
Wallet.
7. What is the most embarassing thing in your pocket?
Not really much of anything, but if I had to pick something, probably the Angel's card hiding in my wallet.
8. What is the smallest thing in your pocket?
The handcuff key in the inside pocket of my belt. Hey, the belt had a pocket advertised for the purpose, and I had a key...
9. Is there anything illegal in your pocket?
If I still lived in the People's Republic of Kalifornistan, maybe. Since I am back in free America, however... not a darned thing. And, honestly, what of those items really deserves to be made illegal? Not a darned thing.
I will follow the example of my older and possibly wiser counterpart, and allow whoever wants this meme to have a shot at it.

Older - a safe bet. Wiser - not so much.
Walther, nice. Had a PPK a gazillion years ago. Carried it when I worked at Marine World for awhile (they are pretty useless against lions and whales ;-p ) but still a nice weapon.
Trust me, I am counting on nothing short of a .50 if we are going up against those types of agressors. However, for the standard, bipedal gremlin I hopefully will not have to come across, a stack of 9mm hollowpoints should be sufficient.
I am not sure if the PPS is arguably the descendent of the PPK, but it is almost as small, and with a slightly more powerful round, so it works for me :).
