I’ll admit it. I have a man-bag, as my female coworkers refer to it. It’s more along the lines of a workbag, but it is stuffed with crap. The boyscout in me tells me to always be ready. I don’t think twice about it, especially the theft aspect. While it is full of stuff, if it can’t be replaced, I shouldn’t be carrying it on me. I do carry a “throw-away” money clip in case I were mugged. It’s a twenty with a few singles beneath it. I throw it one way, and run the other. Never had the occasion to use it (Thank God), but it’s my solution to living in a city with strict gun control.
