Disclaimer: these Americans are not being ironic.
It turns out there’s a subreddit called Everyday Carry (EDC), which is home to loads of trigger-happy people (mainly from the U.S) who empty their pockets and show the world what interesting items they carry day to day.

There are so many posts to look at, but here are a few people that I would definitely ‘fire’ if they worked for me…

This takes self-defence to a whole new level.
