YES, I did kind of rush through the intro trying to save the article from deletion.  No one took the stub seriously and was prone to vandalism and trollers if you look at its history.  The word "cooler" can be replaced with "more sophisticated".  I like your intro its pretty good, but can you keep the CCW (Carrying Concealed Weapon and Open Carry) since having a license to carry a weapon or just carrying one everyday will be considered EDC.  Another thing is to keep the reference on clothing to expand EDC carrying options like fanny pack, day pack, briefcase, and purses all is part of EDC because it gives more flexibility and many of them nowadays are made for tactical purposes with easy weapon access or hidden compartments.  An article will always needs improvement and be adaptable just like real EDC so you are welcome to help clean up and improve the article.  Thanks Warrageen.
