found batteries.
even managed to find my keys ...
So yes, LJ, you're right. There is a tiny Glock on my keychain. The other dangly bits are an inert .40 S&W hollowpoint, a P38 (the work can opener gets stolen fairly regularly by other departments. Not being able to open a can of coffee can cause rioting.) My handcuff key (on this ring anyway) is not as impressive as Bruce's. I do have a fancier one (with an attached LED flashlight) but the hanger fell off it, so if I want to use that one I have to carry it in my pocket. The two most recent additions are the kubaton (aluminum) and the moose thingy ... actually up until recently I had a fairly minimalist keychain ... the only dangly was the bullet. (I don't count the P38 as a dangly, as it is technically a key.)
The kubaton was purchased at a gun show in December, and the carabiner with the moose was a gift from a friend at Yuletide. I had previously had just a carabiner threaded through the keyring. By habit I keep the keys attached either to my belt loop, or if I'm using an off-body concealment holster or purse, to that. The story behind the Glock is kind of interesting. They are made of the same polymer material that's used to make the receivers of the pistols. I have wanted one of these things for a long time, and occasionally would bid on one on ebay. I, however, don't get ebay fever, and drew the line at $10 for what is essentially a free factory promo item. They usually go for around $20-25, so I've never won the auctions. Anyway ... as I was in the WaWa (that's a Philly area convenience store chain) one day, getting some coffee, a guy commented on the hat I was wearing (A Glock Shooting Sports Baseball cap), complimenting me for my taste in firearms.
Got my caffiene fix and went back to my car, to find the dude waiting in the parking lot ... he handed me the little Glock and said "Since you're a fan I thought you'd like this. I've had it for a couple of years and just thought I'd give it to you."
That was it, no further conversation, no attempt at giving or requesting a phone number ... just gave me the Keyfob and drove off into the sunset ...
Below you will find my collection of not-keys. The flashlight on that ring is a Streamlight, not a MagLite. Streamlight is a locally based company hereabouts. I buy Maglites for my headbashing-in needs (my car flashlight is a 6 D-cell Maglite) but my smaller kicking around lights are from Streamlight (including that cool handcuff key mentioned above).
I recently went through the notkeys and removed tags for stores that have gone out of business.
