Why use an Altoids tin when you can use a high-quality EDC tin?



Someone needs to tell Altoids this so they can make some EDC candy and recoup some of that market.

Also LOL for paying 40 bucks for one of those. You know people bought it.

Question to you American people who carry guns and large knives and whatnot :
Why do you do this and realistically do you expect to ever need to use your armaments ?
How do you envision a scenario involving the use of your weaponry to actually play out ?

I mean, I carry pepper spray but I realise ultimately it is almost entirely to make myself feel safer and does not actually give me much of an edge at all.
I assume having a great big stupid gun on your person at all times is a similar phenomenon.

22 is more versatile and suited towards currency; it won't obliterate small game but can still be used to take deer and is light enough that carrying hundreds of rounds won't slow you down. now when it comes time for human killing, its all about .300 blackout

I should just be sarcastic, but here, have a serious post for once.

At the time that I did carry I would routinely have large amounts of cash on me, for deposits and such from work. I would also work night turn, with seven other people and an open door. On one occasion we did have a break in, things were stolen, but no one was harmed.

I envision me making GBS threads myself with terror as I intentionally end another life that is currently threatening mine. Afterwards I get to live with the soul crushing guilt of having taken another human being's life, regardless of the circumstances that led up to it.

I was not disputing the efficiency of pepper spray as a weapon. Rather, I was considering my disposition, state of mind and previous experience.
It is not a matter of it being effective or not. It is a matter of possessing the fortitude to think clearly and react in that situation.

I live in a high-crime area, and purchased my first gun when I was robbed at gunpoint. I have had occasion to pull my gun three times, once when someone tried to pull me out of my car through the window in a road rage incident, once when my cousins jealous crazy boyfriend came up behind me with a knife for "talking to his woman," and once when someone tried to rob my brother at gunpoint (I was in the car and came up from the guys side, yelled out with my gun pointed at him). All three times the assailant has run off once the gun came out. I would rather not shoot someone and am glad that I've not had to, but also know that there is no reason to pull a gun out unless you are willing to use it.

Wanna bet that even fewer of them have actually served their country? And no, the Air Force still wouldn't count. It's a power fantasy where they get to kill a black guy & get away with it.

you could've also led to people being killed when they wouldn't have without your escalation.

I work as a private investigator, but very rarely do I have to leave my office for actual work. When I do, I still don;t carry a gun because I'm not going to put myself in a situation where one would need to be used.

I have a .38 revolver that I keep loaded with snake shot and a Walther PPK I like to shoot at the range once every few months. Can't really imagine ever using either to kill something bigger than a rattlesnake
