As part of your Every Day Carry (EDC) kit, you need a good light to keep the dark at bay, confuse an assailant, or find your way through over uneven terrain or dark alleys. I have been using the ASP Dual Fuel Guardian for a month now, it is small enough to keep in my […]

ASP Ultra Hinged Cuffs and LockWrite Pen
Me: 6164 One on the ground. Dispatch: Go Ahead Me: White male, black shirt, blue pants Northbound on South 1st St. “One on the ground” is the code we use when someone takes off running from us. I made a traffic stop on a guy and when he came to a stop, he jumped out […]
ASP Edge utility tool with handcuff key is an EDC all-star

Most Americans would think a gun would be best […]
