“That thing” refers to a weapon. Usually said as a curiosity or warning without the actual weapon being visible.
For example it’s said within the gun community you should never point a gun at something or someone you do not intend to shoot.
So letting someone know you’ve got that thing is a less aggressive way of saying you’re prepared to protect yourself if you have to.
Aside from being less aggressive it’s thought to be the best way to potentially avoid legal issues that could arise wether or not you actually have to use whatever it is you have which may or may not be a gun or even illegal.
Saying that thing also can imply you do not want to use whatever it is you may have and therefore you’re not trying to have a situation escalate any further or warn someone you are reaching a point of feeling like you are in a life threatening situation and feeling a need to defend yourself in order to not be harmed.

“I keep that thing on me.”
“You don’t want to find out I got that thing.”
“Don’t mess with her she got that thing and she will use it.”
“That thing that you don’t want to f*** with.”

Get the That thing mug.Money is THE ONLY thing that will make me whole after all this time and is both the least you can do and what I'm entitled to per my 5th amendment right to be given to compensation for my property (which my labor and mind bith constitute).

Get the The only thing mug.One thing I don't know why It doesn't even matter how hard you try Keep that in mind, I designed this rhyme To explain in due time All I know Time is a valuable thing Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings Watch it count down to the end of the day The clock ticks life away It's so unreal Didn't look out below Watch the time go right out the window Tryin' to hold on, did-didn't even know I wasted it all just to watch you go I kept everything inside and even though I tried It all fell apart What it meant to me will eventually Be a memory of a time when I tried so hard I tried so hard and got so far But in the end it doesn't even matter I had to fall to lose it all But in the end it doesn't even matter
