If I can't fit it in a pair of cargo shorts I probably don't need to EDC it.
I did that when I was young and strong. Now that I have entered the "63 to death" segment of the age demographic, I suffer from the big gut-no butt syndrome, and well-burdened cargo shorts quickly become ankle holsters. Happened just the other day during the TSA airport pat-down, with empty pockets. You would think that no one had ever seen an old guy in a thong before...so I carry either a man-purse or ruck. Pretty soon i will be able to hang it on my walker...*sigh*...
