[QUOTE="Dr. Tad Hussein Winslow, post: 1376900, member: 7123"] If I'm NOT carrying a gun, the "pocket knife" I carry is a big deadly bastage - the Gerber full-sized Applegate-Fairbairn combat folder, with the back side also sharpened. [url]http://www.google.com/search?q=gerber+applegate+fairbairn+combat+knife&rls=com.microsoft:en-us&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&startIndex=&startPage=1[/url] [url]http://www.amazon.com/Gerber-05780-Applegate-Fairbairn-Combat-Folder/dp/B0019FHNH8[/url] If I AM carrying a gun, then the backup is just a regular pocket knife, usually a Kershaw Leek, Avalanche, Needs Work, or Spec Bump. Back in the mid-late 90s, I was a wee bit nutty, and would carry 2 pistols, a knife, & OC spray, or similar. Occasionally, just for testing / spits & giggles, I'd carry a compact Glock (primary), a baby Glock (backup), and a NAA mini-rev in the front pocket, lol. But I don't care for OC spray anymore, because after a few years, I worry about its age, and whether I should replace the canister, and just when should I do that, etc ... It's a PITA. But I admit it would be nice to carry a non-lethal option like OC spray, particularly for dogs / minor encounters.

I had my Kahr on me, and luckily the dog wasn't aggressive; just wanted to smell me; but it would have gotten shot mostly likely had it attacked me.... I love dogs and I'm legally prohibited from shooting the needs-shootin party in that situation (the owner), so it'd be nice to have OC spray to try first for that kind of thing, or really any typical self-defense encounter that you don't want or need to escalate too much.
