Craig, can we see your keychain please?? I'm always looking for that one extra doodad that will help me save the universe when the fan blades get engaged with biological refuse. (Don't make me wade through that monster EDC thread to find a picture!)

Keychain? Oh, you mean keychains, as in a plurality thereof. I have more than one, you know.
I have so much crap -- I mean gear -- that more than one was needed. Also, I've never posted any pictures because I've never taken any. But fear not. I finally got my Yahoo picture account going. I'll try to take some pictures and post them.
But I have to buy a new vacuum cleaner this weekend, so no guarantees. Yes, I confess to being a comparison shopper.

I just can't stand too much stuff in my pockets. Neither can my brother-in-law. He usually doesn't even carry a wallet. He is the ultimate minimalist. He will pocket his driver's license, a credit card, and some cash. And that's it.

Seriously... I've worried about the pockets failing. If you've ever turned a pair of jeans inside out, the pockets aren't the sturdiest looking things. If you're worried about THOSE pockets, try suit coat pockets, or dressy trouser pockets. They won't hold much more than a set of car keys without bursting.

How do you get by legally carrying lock picks?
In some states they are prohibited more than knives and guns.

It's not a problem in Massachusetts. Carrying lockpicks is just fine here, unless you're a crook. Many other states have similar laws but I have no idea about Illinois.
Here's the law for MA:
Chapter 266 (crimes against property)
Section 49. Burglarious instruments; making; possession; use.
Whoever makes or mends, or begins to make or mend, or knowingly has in his possession, an engine, machine, tool or implement adapted and designed for cutting through, forcing or breaking open a building, room, vault, safe or other depository, IN ORDER TO STEAL THEREFROM money or other property, or to commit any other crime, knowing the same to be adapted and designed for the purpose aforesaid, WITH INTENT TO USE OR EMPLOY OR ALLOW the same to be used or employed for such purpose, or whoever knowingly has in his possession a master key designed to fit more than one motor vehicle, WITH INTENT, TO USE OR EMPLOY THE SAME to steal a motor vehicle or other property therefrom, shall be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than ten years or by a fine of not more than one thousand dollars and imprisonment in jail for not more than two and one half years.

Not too big.
Just questionable advertising.

Would you consider two keyrings? Or adding a tool pouch on your belt. I find a deck of cards sized pouch holds quite a bit, up out of the way. ( think PDA case.)

Here's my EDC. Very basic stuff. V'nox Climber, Inova X1 and Storm whistle. No problems with bulky keyrings for me.
