(I feel like that old Caveman Lawyer skit that Phil Hartman used to do on SNL..... "I know not what is this EDC of which you speak" )

Don't feel bad. I had never heard of the term either. It is "Everyday Carry."

Since most of the Texas CHL Forum members are not criminal attorneys, criminals or DAs, most of their knowledge about criminal trials is probably from television and the movies. I am a fan of shows like Law & Order and NYPD Blue, but I suspect that most of the scenes in TV shows and movies would never happen in real life. How many defendents were charged or convicted because of the stuff they carried in their EDC bag? How many defendants confessed to a crime while on the witness stand? I would love to hear from people with documented incidents or first-hand experiences.
