chitoryu12 posted:I think the infamous EDC Nerd picture was a janitor or IT guy at NASA. A lot of them are just regular office workers; I'd probably argue that most of them are office workers because that's really the only job where you can carry a bunch of poo poo in your pockets without worrying about anything falling out, getting dirty, or injuring you if you fall on it (one of the reasons you may not want to carry a gun at the back of your hip is so you don't bruise your spine if you fall backwards). Yea I used to carry a swiss army knife on my keys until i had to throw it away because they wouldn't let me on a plane with it (but they let me on during the flight coming). I haven't bothered since then because i don't see the point. Everywhere I've worked have had a screwdriver set or box cutters and that's all I'd need. These guys look like they're the character at the start of a fallout game. What are they expecting to happen when they're recovering upper managements passwords? Based on their EDCs, it looks like they expect to be put in some kind of Die Hard situation where they'd have to stop a team of freelance all star terrorists. Thing is a guy who carries that poo poo around looks to me like someone who is thinking "i'm carrying this in case something happens (Oh please let it happen!!!!)" and theyd probably be actively trying to find reasons to draw. Not to mention everywhere I've worked has had rules against carrying weapons to work. This is Canada so open or CC is pretty much non-existent.

Earlier this year I was on my way back from Germany and had forgotten to take my Douk Douk out of my pocket and put it in my checked bag. As soon as I put it in the tray at security I was like oh poo poo. Guy asked if I wanted to go back and put it in my checked, but I was tired and didn't want to wait in line again, and also my bag was probably already well on its way to the plane, so I told him nah gently caress it I'll miss it but I can get another. And then he was like ah OK it's fine take it with you whatever, it's cool. Yes, I am white.

Some people do it for the same reason (avoid scuffing the surface etc.) but it definitely picked up an operator connotation from videogames and poo poo. E: Holy poo poo punch daggers make me so mad. Death Panel Czar has a new favorite as of 23:50 on Jul 3, 2018 |

Six-Of-Hearts posted:Thank you, friend! That has been around a long time. Probably from some time in the cold war or possibly earlier, and likely related to "operative" used in a similar sense since the late 1800s, apparently. In any case it definitely predates these modern armchair commando douches.

I do have some serious questions about that spare mag. It looks like it has a clip on it to let it be hooked to your waistband or pocket (clips like these exist for guns to let you "Mexican carry" them without a belt or holster), but I can't see how it would insert all the way into the gun.

It looks like the clip stays on your waistband, and you pull the magazine upwards out of it

Apparently it's a magnetic clip to let you carry a spare mag in your pocket. It just holds the magazine with a magnet, so you pull it off the clip while it stays attached to your pocket. Apparently it's not actually that great because the magnet attracts the clip itself so strongly that the magazine might fall off when you try to attach it your pocket, it's really obvious what you're carrying (which defeats the point of concealed carry), and it only works with magnetic magazines and that gun's factory mags aren't magnetic.
