Massad Ayoob advocates for practical cargo pants as essential EDC gear, debunking the 'shoot me first' myth. He details how specific brands like 5.11 Tactical offer functional designs with ample pocket space for tools, medical supplies, and backup firearms.

This "Daily Defense" video discusses the practical considerations of carrying spare ammunition for concealed carry. It analyzes the statistical likelihood of needing to reload during a civilian gunfight, noting that typically fewer than five rounds are expended. The video advises that if a primary EDC firearm has a magazine capacity of 10 rounds or more, reloads may be less critical. However, for firearms with lower capacities (like a 5-shot revolver), carrying spare ammo is strongly recommended. Factors like concealability, the threat level of the environment, and the ability to use a larger-capacity magazine for a reload are also discussed. The overarching recommendation is to carry spare ammunition whenever feasible.
