Good list!

No spare rounds?

People who ride with me (off duty) think I am weird. I always have a knife and a gun in my car with me at all times. Oh, and a pair of handcuffs and a handcuff key right on my regular set of car keys.

My list is a little bit shorter. I figure that the only weapons I *never* go without are my head and my hands. Most of the time, though, I have everything on your list except for the cash, the excedrin, and the watch (I make it a point not to worry about what time it is when I'm off duty). I also carry a spare magazine and a set of cuffs.

I was tempted to say "Dang, that's a lot of stuff. Just how big is your purse?"

But then I reconsidered.

Bronze - Nope,I don't carry extra ammo off duty.

Incognito - I keep a pair of cuffs in my truck, but I don't usually carry them around.

5150 - Har har!

I leave the cuffs in the car but since I do a lot of traveling, I just keep an extra set in the car. Just in case. ;)

I can hear my academy instructor now "If you leave it in the car, then that's where it will be when you need it."
