It was funny though, to see that those who lived in city/suburban areas had much less of an EDC than those who lived more out in the country. Those who live further out wouldn't dream of leaving their home without a pocket knife and maybe a lighter. They weren't very well received by the "city" kids though. (i.e. "What do you need a knife for? You going to stab someone?") The thread almost had to be closed when one guy in his 20's posted up his EDC and it included a 9mm CCW. Kind of sad to see that so many people were adamantly against being prepared with anything more than a cell phone. I guess being prepared isn't "cool."
Not really about being cool or not cool, remember these kids are being told constantly that guns and knives are bad and only have criminal uses. If the message is repeated enough then it sinks in.
