Do You Carry A Lucky Talisman?

[Samsa]

Used to wear a Miraculous Medal at all times, and would carry a rosary in my pocket.

I don't carry anything anymore. Having more stuff than necessary in my pockets is bothersome.

My lucky talisman.... Time Waits For No Man....

 

[BJBAmerica]

I wear a gold crucifix and a St. Peregrine Medal (Patron Saint of Cancer Patients, of which I am one).

What? You such a lousy shot you need two heaters?

No, the point is to be faster on the reload just in case--with a 1911, you only get 7 or 8...

For me, the idea behind duallies would be so that if I'm in a multiple-aggressor scenario, I can have one in each hand and just have to shift focus to the weapon closer to the "goblin".

I don't wear it all the time but I have a couple chai pendants (its a Jewish charm, basically) that I wear sometimes. Its kind of comforting. And they're pretty. A little pendent on a chain isn't like lucky orange socks or something as far where you can wear it.

Yes, I carry a lucky talisman on my keychain, a strangely-shaped piece of metal that has helped me with its magic in many a tight jam. It's a bottle opener ...

Closest thing to a talisman or lucky charms for me are the saxophone key fob a former student gave to me when she graduated from high school, and the penny with a heart punched out of the middle my wife gave me.

I put them on my keyring, and now they're a little scuffed and the engraving on the back of the saxophone has faded until only the "D" of my first name is visible. The copper of the penny has almost completely disappeared and it's more silver than anything.

Not lucky or talismanic, but I feel "naked" when the sax falls off, or I heve to use my other set of keys.....

On my keychain I have one RAF brass button - kings crown, WWII.
It just feels right. And nice.

(As some might remember I bought quite a lot of 'em lately.)

Well, I've already mentioned mine in another thread, but I'll see about illustrations this time.

Two different sized sets of these:

One set of "coat stars" (1.5" across extreme outer points), one of "collar stars" (1.2" across same). A reminder of the standard that I've set for myself and what I must aim to measure up to.

And one of these:

Federal Hydra-Shok .45 hollowpoint. (I've posted elsewhere about the "Golden BB Theory", this is my insurance against it.)

Sorry to anyone with a problem, but this thread's about talismans, and these are mine.

How about a pack of Lucky Strikes? Wait a minute... I don't think that counts...:eusa_doh:

 

[Feraud]

A pocket full of these bad boys and I am ready to rock and roll..

 

[scotrace]

Are those Pop Rocks?

 

[Miss Neecerie]

erm....Lucky Charms my dear.....


Magically delicious!

 

[Feraud]

I once took out a couple of perps with the blue diamonds.

 

[carebear]

But you brought it on yourself, really, they were only after your Lucky Charms.

I had a rabbit's foot on my keychain some 30 years ago.

Those are out of style now.

Somebody tell the rabbits.

I carry a Club Obi Wan challenge coin. It's not superstitious because it really would be unlucky to be caught without it.

yes the Club Obi Wan challenge coin, and a pair of "elsa" zippos one a lighter and one just a light
