Besides, obviously, a pistol, there is a ton of stuff that CC folks can choose to carry every day. There are different laws in different states, and that, of course, dictates some of the things we can and can't carry. The rest is pretty much determined by the balance what you feel you ought to have handy, and how much you're willing to lug around all day.
My list is at least one spare mag, a Benchmade folder, a cellphone, a 'keychain size' Fox pepper spray, and, maybe once a week, a Benchmade fixed-blade hangs around my neck on a break-away lanyard under my shirt, too. I want to add a small single-cell flashlight - thinking about a Fenix LT1 V2.0 - where the heck am I going to put it?
Anyway, I was just wondering what all of you consider to be your EDC gear?
Wow, you guys sure carry a lot. I'm a minimalist when it comes to carrying stuff around with me. I don't like things in my pockets.
My EDC consists of:
- Weapon (Kimber or Keltec, never both)
- Wallet which consists of 2 credit cards, my TDL and CHL, my bus pass, my insurance card, and a for emergency only $100 bill.
- Kershaw Chive
- Blackberry in holster on my belt
- A rosary
- If I'm going to be outside at night I'll bring along one of my Surefires.

Gun is clothing dependent: G19, Kahr K9, Kahr PM9 or KelTec P3AT

For night-time walks, I add a SureFire flashlight & pepper spray - just the light seems to stop the dogs well enough so far. Hope it stays that way! Walking gun is Kahr K9 in OWB during summer, G19 in winter.
My wife carries a 9mm Sig P239 in Fist Hybrid OWB, a water bottle and the heavy burden of putting up with me!

Help! I'm running out of pockets. Maybe I'll try wearing one of those tactical entry vests with all the pouches on it. Surely nobody would "make" me in one of those!
Extra magazine. Often second gun. Streamlight Strion flash light. I like this one because it is small, very bright and rechargeable. Phone. Sometimes a knife. Of course my CHL.
