We’ve talked to a large number of gun owners in recent days about what they’re carrying now. Some have changed their EDC gun and gear based on an increased level of perceived risk. Some are sticking with the tried and true. Others have confided that they are now carrying a firearm for the first time in their lives.

We’re going to start a new series of posts called What I’m Carrying Now in light of the new conditions in which we all find ourselves. With tens of millions of Americans staying in and around their homes for the foreseeable future, with very few exceptions it’s legal to carry a firearm on your own property and elsewhere if you live in a concealed carry state (be sure to check your state and local laws).

Me? That’s what I’m carrying these days, above. The handgun is a Springfield Hellcat with the 13-round magazine toted in a Crossbreed Reckoning holster.

I’ve taken to making sure that I carry the extra 11-round flush magazine every day now, too. I used to rationalize leaving it behind, but not any more. The knife is a Buck 112 Slim Pro. The ammo is Federal Premium Hydra-Shok Deep if you’re interested.

We want to know what you’re carrying now. Send us a pic (just one) and let us know what gun, holster and blade you’re toting these days. Also include whether it’s something that’s stepped up given recent events or your usual EDC gear.

Send it to us at [email protected] with WICN (What I’m Carrying Now) in the subject field. Also let us know how you’d like to be identified (or not) when we post it.

Thanks.
