Question What do you carry?

I carry pepper spray but mainly because of the loose dogs that are often around my neighborhood when I'm with my dog or little girl. I love dogs, but I don't want to be helpless if somebody else's uncontrolled animal is trying to attack those I love. Then a Nebo torchy... a great little light.
 
do you have a car emergency kit? Like tourniquet, gauze, etc
Yes sir! My main vehicle has a MyMedic Recon first aid kit which is supplemented with additional tourniquets and Israeli bandages, wool blankets, tire plug kit, small tool box, TP, water, shovel, fire starters, and anything needed to sleep in the car for a couple of days. It gets used as our default road trip vehicle.
 
- CCW at all times
- handheld light (late afternoon/night only)
- pepper spray only when I'm with my dog (attached to my treat pouch, mainly as a deterrent to aggressive and unleashed dogs approaching us)

Trauma kit in my car, but that's not technically on me
 
Shield Plus, Shield Plus Carry Comp, or M&P 2.0 compact on my strong side. Spyderco Para3 on my weak side. Additionally, pepper spray when I walk the dogs.
 
Glock 45 in t1c axis elite or tenicor velo 5 everywhere i go regardless of the rules and a 20$ amazon pocket knife because i lose them often 😅

Have you ever used pepper spray on another dog and if so how effective was it?
 
Sig P365 XMacro Or P365X
Same, X Macro Comp with Radian back strap and mag well, Holosun red dot. P365X with WC grip module and tungsten weight inserts, pinky extensions. Found some pretty stellar leather holsters with a retention system that's actually pretty solid. Leather mag pouches are great after you spend two hours on each one working them in with your thumbs. Carry both appendix. The P365X in leather is barely noticeable. Besides those, EDC knife and pepper spray.
