EDC Overload?

[Pilgrim]

So recently I took a step back and assessed what I carry on a day-to-day basis. I started wondering if I'm carrying too many things in my EDC. Here's what's on me when I step out the door each day...

Glock 19 in a Raven Concealment Holster (1911 fanatics please contain yourselves)
2 magazines (because two is better than one, right?)
1 Fenix LD22 Flashlight (don't know why I carry one during the day...)
1 Fox Labs Pepper Spray (because I think having a non-lethal option is good... holster coming soon)
1 Leatherman Wingman (can't do without this... use it almost every day)
1 Kershaw Chill (small and light - almost as useful as the wingman)
1 Wallet (not pictured)
1 Cellphone (taking the picture)
Car Keys (not pictured)

I feel like I'm walking around with Batman's utility belt. Don't get me wrong - all of this is still relatively comfortable to wear but is this too much?

I just need you guys to tell me that I'm not nuts... wait don't answer that. Just tell me if you carry a similar set up

That is not too many things! If it is not a chore to get it all on to have everyday, then it isnt too much stuff yet.
I find flashlights very useful during the day as well. High lumen pocket ones especially. Self defense, as well as a nifty tool for power outages inside buildings. Youd be surprised how many people dont have a light inside office buildings.
Edit: You need a knife!

He mentions a Kershaw, and im pretty sure the leatherman has a knife tool as well.

I like your setup, and like Koinonia says, if it isn't a chore, it's not too much.

Same as me but trade the pepper spray for a set of tweezers.I use all but the gun at least once a week.My multi is a Leatherman MUT,and the Glocks a 32.Great set up.

Oops, I glanced over that. My bad!

I feel a little better. I was starting to question my "inner boyscout".

I usually have 2 knives and don't have a good pocket flashlight yet.

A lot of it is where you live, where you go, what you wear, and what you're comfortable with. If you are comfortable with it, it's right for you. I carry a knife and a gun, always. I may add something if I leave my "comfort zone" but usually that's it. But I live in the sticks and usually also have a rifle in the truck, which most people in the city can't or won't carry for fear of the theft. Just my two bits.

You certainly carry a hell of a lot more than I do. However, if that's what works for you, that's all that matters.

Jesus Christ thats a lot. I either throw my colt snubby in my pocket and take off, an M&P in its holster and go, very rarely carry a spare mage for it, a good blade, phone, and wallet

Holy overload Batman.

Loose one of the mags, the spray (you have a gun), and the multi-tool (real men need only a knife and duct tape).

No handcuffs?

 

[pvtsnowball82]

I carry about the same; no pepper spray, but I do carry a fixed blade in addition to a multi-tool. A high-lumen flashlight is a must when you can't carry a knife, gun or spray.

No handcuffs?

And no CHL badge?

LOL. I go with either one or two mags depending on where I'm going. Not going to lose the spray (it's what I carried when I was living in gun-free California and it had come in handy on two occasions back then - once with a dog and another with a guy who threatened my wife and I coming home late from dinner). The multitool comes in handy everyday so I guess I'm not a real man...

Hey you might have something there. I can wear it in a molle holster strapped to my plate carrier...

 

[vmax]

where is your duct tape?

I think the spray could get you into hot water if you had to use your gun imo. That is why everyone is telling you to lose it

I dont think it is too much, but then again I carry alot my self.



And just for the record I normally dont carry all four knives at once, but I do carry at least two every day.
