With 5 total turds involved on both sides, and her between the two groups, it may have been hard to protect her while getting us out of there. Thankfully, I didn't have to draw and no one involved in the rip off was seriously hurt.
Long story short, I've reassessed my carry choices. I'm carrying my G17.3 until I can qualify with my new to me P320SC this week. The PM9 is now almost exclusively my on duty BUG.
What hasn't changed for on body carry is a Benchmade folder, spare mag, Streamlight PT 1L-1AA w/spare battery, TQ & gloves, badge and spare contacts, Gerber mini tool, and resqme tool. In my car I have a marked outer vest w/IFAK, spare light, cuffs and spare mag, and a go bag with more trauma and booboo gear, water, food bars, eye & ear protection, rope, lighter, headlight, cut resistant and latex gloves, and poncho. I've used the go bag contents so many times both on and off duty I can't imagine traveling without it.
