[Annihilator]

Another article on Fanny packs for CCW, I have used one in the past, so let’s beat the dead horse again on this subject……

I want to be able to carry as many guns as i can.... a fanny, waist, back packs and one on each leg.... but my possible Hi-Point will just aim at my groin when i get it....

They have their place

Yep. To each their own. I made it through the Fanny Pack craze of the 90s without ever owning or using one. I’m not going to start now. I own several pairs of 5.11 cargo pants and shorts.

No one has ever given me the evil eye when I carry my VP9SK in my fanny pack. Or when I used to carry my XDs .45 in a fanny pack. I mostly now carry a J-frame in a sticky holster in my pocket. Most people have their pockets filled with phones, keys, wallets...no one bats an eye. Carry what you want the way you want.

They do. I often have an OD green one with multiple pockets. In my car. Or on a chair at my mother's house like on thanksgiving when carrying a gun on me just seems like overkill.

Nah, it isn’t Tacti-Kool enough

I've been seeing a LOT of this kind of "carry" lately.

It SCREAMS "I'm armed" to me, even worse than open carry. At least with OC you can "dress to conceal".

And, on a side note, here where I live, OC is legal (God forbid to some you snobs), and I did it, until I got my CCP.

From my experience, the only people that notice people open carrying are other people open carrying, CCW permit holders, and the people that CANT legally carry at all.

Granted, LOTS of open carriers are comedic to say the least.........

But I digress......

The only time I carry my gun in a fanny pack is when I'm going to the gym. I bought this fanny pack at Goodwill.ETA I paid approximately 7 dollars for it. It's an Ikendo. I have done some research apparently Ikendo is a martial arts brand. I'm not sure what makes a fanny pack a martial arts accessory. It's just big enough to carry my glock 26.

You say satchel, I say European man bag.

 

[trader]

have a few - haven't used them in years - too ostentatious. IWB is the way to go imo

Don't need a fanny pack, i put everything in my purse.
