He doesn't sound armed. He sounds gay, probably waiting for Stephen to check out the sale on Sperry Topsiders or tassled loafers.

And you sound like you're a freshman in high school....


Anyways. I wear a fanny pack while out hiking in the woods to hold my GPS, first aid kit, and various other small items I may need. But I would be the guy with the Danner boots, 5.11 tactical pants, and NRA hat. But I don't carry yet, so it doesn't matter to me.
 
I wore a VA Blood Bank fanny pack cross shoulder on my right hip until I bought this:

I put a laptop bag strap on it so it hangs at the perfect draw height at my right side. Works great when I am in my wheelchair too. (I can't walk far or stand for very long)
 
Fullerton, you were being a bit crass with the "gay" remark. I don't care if the man is blue, black, white or red, or if he likes to snort Pixy Stix candy straws. If he is a competent civilian exercising his 2A rights, more power to him and his loverly Sperrys. That said, I don't care if Joe Mall Commando is obvious to me, because I know what to look for, and my SA is typically solid. However, the bigger concern for me is that his apparent inability/unwillingness to better blend in likely indicates that he is likely either very new to CCW, or he thinks he's in Die Hard V: The Galleria. Neither possibility is indicative of professional restraint when the SHTF.

For my own edification, were I to witness the same, what would be the best course of action?

A.) Ignore the Ninja?
B.) Very quietly take him aside and explain the situation, and offer possible alternatives?
C.) Other?
 
Didn't you know that there is only ways to carry concealed,fanny packs or Hawaiian print shirts.Both of which should be burned and banned.I actually have a friend who for some strange reason love to throw a extra large hoody on over a t-shirt and with an iwb holster,now tell me he aint askin for trouble.Just do what i do and wear size larger shirt.Yesterday it was 74 here and i actually was able to wear shorts and a t-shirt to the store,i still wore my full sized .40 cal S&W i just threw a blue and white striped shirt on and you couldn't see a thing.I was able to walk past 2 cops with my son in the buggy and never missed a beat.

By the way why do they call them a fanny pack,every one i ever see wearing them has them turned towards the front.
