As thugs run rampant, destroying stuff...

And I'm sitting in my plant, keeping an eye on it - and realizing how poorly prepared I am for this junk.
So, I realize I need a more thought out "go" bag.
A) Blow out kit. I've gotten the list before, and I'll dig it up, but it needs to be in there - maybe two.
B) Energy bars. (Have that covered with dry rings, sorta - miss eating brie with them.)
C) Some kind of coffee (at my office, so covered. But something hot to sip, seems helpful to staying awake* - I might be able to make something pretty good, there, actually... Not exactly a "naughty" idea, but it seems fun. I think I could get something in a gel cap or two, which would work pretty well..
D) Boots. My keen boots are sitting at home. That, or some five finger shoes. Five fingers are actually very precise.
E) Water. Covered in my office, and I filled up a couple bottles.
F) Tomahawk strobe light - which I have, and like - kinda like the hand strap version I keep on my night stand, but its OK.
G) Mag compatible carbine. I will be trying D&L 45 ACP bullets - too light for hogs, I think - but they are reported to run well in Glocks. I'm split between a CMMG Banshee in 10MM or 45 ACP. SC is shorter ranges, and less friendly juries, so I'm thinking the 45 is a better choice - and lots of bullet drop is a good idea in a city like Charleston - as long as its rioters and thugs. Terrorists, and a 200 yard range would be useful.
H) Harness to carry two pistols/attach the compatible car one, reloads, flashlight, small battery pouch, energy bar, water pouch, amplifying ear plugs, and larger folding knife+multi tool.
I) If possible, have all batteries be the same, on lights and sights.
J) Small notepad and pencil.
K) Shim adjustable rear sights, and fiber optic front sights on the pistols. I like the idea of a small lamp on the rear sight, if available, to aid in finding the gun, but I have done a fair bit of night shooting, and I've yet to find the bonus for the tritium front sight, given the disadvantages it has, if shooting into a setting or rising sun, or from shadow into brightness.
L) Goofy ideas - suppressed 22 pisto, as an add on. Suppressor for carbine. CMMG in 5.7x28.
*Not much sleep last night, and I'm usually out by 9, and up ~330 or 4.
