“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 swamp ass thingmug. The only thing I have is my house. I’m actually praying for an economic collapse or recession so that the transplants here all move out of Louisiana. This is why I think Joe Biden might be helping my cause. I would really like to get certain people out of my way.

Get the impossible thingsmug. I love...
hearing you laugh,
that you smile with your eyes,
your warmth - that draws people to you,
the way you make me feel calm and chaotic at the same time,
that you really listen,
the lovely way you share what you know -
and the little smile you give me when I get it
your ability to make me feel like I can do it-anything
...and although it's not always easy to hear, the way you talk about the people that you love. So lucky are they.

"The smallest things"❤️ How wonderful it must be to be one of the most important people in your life...when you make someone you barely know feel so special without even realising
