As I recall it was a blaster on one thigh, and a knife on the other. Heinlein had Long and other character using knives in several stories, often improbably thrown with lethal results.

There are a lot of Heinlein fans around.

When at a folk festival I slid a recorder into my waistband where it was held by the strap of my drum. Recorder as in woodwind musical instrument.

When I removed the drum and hoisted it up onto a handy bay-window ledge, the recorder slipped and I had to trap it and then extract it from inside the aprons.

A passer by grinned and said 'I was expecting a blaster. Is it in C or F?'

I grinned back and said 'Shhhh - it is in E - the power supply distorts the key.'

There was a couple sitting close by who looked at us as thought we'd each just grown a second head.
