murse

I just do what I do and to hell with how it looks. If I wear one, it's around the waist.

I do sometimes. It’s the right size to carry the meds and snacks I need to stay alive without lugging a backpack around all the time. The fanny pack goes inside a backpack for my commute.

I frequently wear a fanny pack but never slung over my torso. I don't see that style here often. I saw it quite a bit in Europe. I may get a sling bag for concealed carry while hiking when carrying a bit more stuff than just a gun.

Are sling bags considered foo foo? Not that I really care.

I use a small one for hikes and kayaking - very convenient for small water bottles, snacks, attaching 2 way radio and whistle.

Fanny packs are okay but uncomfortable when I need to sit for a moment.

I've heard those types of bags referred to as a "shoot me first" bag. Not sure where I picked that one up.

I got one of the ukoala bags. Can wear it on my thigh or slung like a side bag (murse/satchel). It’s convenient and i like it, regardless of what others think.

The older I get, the less I care about what other people think.

Most of the time I carry IWB but I often help my brother w/ his work, I use a pack from LApolicegear to carry my G26 w/ G19 mag and wallet or phone. While working I'll have it positioned somewhere around my waist, front/back/side.
When I leave from there I'll sling it across my chest and keep it there while stopping at a store or wherever.

It's part of my way to have a 15 rnd. gun on me while currently wearing clothing that doesn't allow it.

Small caliber mouse gun? No thanks. I'll take the fanny pack.

Yeah, for a decade now. but I think we're still waiting for an actual report where someone was wearing a "shoot me first" bag,vest,shirt, hat, sticker, lunchbox, etc. and they were shot first or at all.

I may have to get one because I'm running out of pockets for my wallet, a ring of keys, 2-3 damn fobs, pen knife, phone, and I don't put any of these in rear pockets. So far I'm getting by with pants with cargo pockets.

I have a Maxpedition sling pack and love it! It’s not an EDC bag, it’s my day hike pack and “get home” bag. I wear it on my back though not in front, it can be quickly pulled in front and accessed on the move. Mine is tan snd “Ranger” green.

I mention that because I was hiking the Wildwood trail in Portland, OR and passed a woman with the exact same pack! And I mean exact, same brand, model and color!

I highly doubt she’s a gun owner but who knows? Anyway, packs with molle are super common now and used by all sorts of people, I don’t think it’s much of a “shoot me 1st” signal anymore.

Yeah, same here.

I'm known to carry a Wilderness Safepacker on a strap, Sam Browne-style. It doesn't get a second look from people.

I see guys wearing fanny packs in the same manner and it's common enough that no one seems it give it a thought or care at all. Maybe they're carrying, maybe not. In some instances, they are, especially since my state now has Constitutional Carry.

There was a time, 25 or 30 years ago, when carrying a pack in such a manner was considered unmanly, but it has become so commonplace these days, it's not even worthy of comment.

I wear on occasionally when walking. It has an H&K P 2000 in it.

Mine is a subdued gray color, does not look at all "tactical." It holds a P245 with a P220 magazine and a spare magazine for a total of 17 rounds of .45 ACP in a compact innocent looking package.

We use to call them "fag bags".

Yeah, I don't care about clothing fashions, hair styles, or the fact that I carry a Maxpedition FatBoy Versipack bag outside the house. Call it a murse or purse or satchel or whatever.



I'm on my second one, the first wore out in 7 years of use. Do I carry a lot of shit? To some yes, to others, maybe not enough.

I'm in Mexico, and EVERY male and many females carry those. He'll, I bought a small one to hold my phone, wallet and keys when I ride mu bicycle.

Is it at all possible that people under 22 y.o. don't know
A. What a fanny is
B. Where it's located ?
