    HEY ! , I had a cpl Buicks As teen into early '20s . Pre Emission 455's were torque monsters. GS were recognized as muscle cars, most others were more low profile. Centurians were the eqiv of same era Olds 88 ( sorta mediumish size for era, availble w/ big blocks). My Duce & .25 Coupe w/ free flowing exhaust could cruise 135mph without even kicking in secondaries on the Q Jet.

    But back on topic , fanny packs are either :

    1. Specialized carry for when wearing swim trunks, gym shorts, nude beach, etc. Or be a full enclosed protection while actually trout fishing or hiking.

    2. Primarily a low profile gun case , that can sorta work for carry, somewhat, in a pinch.

    Im told a group of instructors attempted to train with fanny packs at the NRA Range years ago, to prepare to add them to the PPOTH curriculum.

    The fanny packs were said to present all kinds of issues, even for seasoned instructors, including muzzle sweeping of the wearer and others when drawing - even with practice.

    Plus, they are no longer fashionable, except possibly, in Blaster229's social circles.

    First; This is by far the funniest forum on MD shooters. They lit into the fanny pack dude.
    Second; Please follow the law accordingly, Man Law #238 states: Thou shalt not wear effeminate accessories such as a Murse (man purse), Fanny pack of any variety, nor Jingly bracelets regardless of their tactical potential. This law includes verbiage regarding the illegality of pink glock slides, pink holsters and other hello-kitty style accessories.
    3rd; Remember, if you are being robbed, especially in Baltimore, the robber would require you to turn over ALL valuables including that nice Kenneth Cole Murse (man-purse).
    My favorite holster, "SHTF gear IWB Holster". The most accessible holster, but it prints with fitted polo.
    Least favorite; Urban Carry , less accessible than the SHTF Gear, but conceals the most.

    I read that in the handbook, but I still went out and bought this as an additional 'get'er home bag' for my niece (jk)

    If I saw a healthy man between 18 and 75 yrs of age with no visible disability wearing a fanny pack, I would assume he's carrying a handgun.
