It's gotta be better than man-purse? Right?

umm...I carry a man-purse

Really, it's an iPad case that slings over the shoulder. It is canvas and O.D. green so, not really a "murse" as my daughter calls it.

Just carry a knife and learn how to use it. I used to go run in the middle of the night at a track that I wouldn't go to without a weapon of some sort. Do you know some simple defensive tactics? Carrying a gun is only a small part of it.

Clint Eastwood - No fanny pack
John Wayne - No fanny pack
Anderson Cooper - fanny pack
George Stephanopoulos - fanny pack
Chuck Norris - No fanny pack
Martin Sheen - fanny pack
Ronald Reagan - No fanny pack
George Clooney - 2 fanny packs, (1 for him and 1 for obama)

Get the drift?

Yeah, I get the drift. All those lefties stole my heroes' fanny packs.

I am we'll trained in aiki-jujitsu and am proficient with stick and knife. I carry a knife and pepper spray. I don't run though. That was the reason I got out of the army.

My point was about when I leave my hospital job in my hospital scrubs I'd like to carry my pistol on body while runnin errands.

My years in martial arts, and love of UFC has shown me that every body is trained in something. I trust my skill but don't trust that it is better than the BG's.

I've seen a lot of folks rolling around the hospital with fanny packs. I still thought they looked like dorks, even if they were on the Rapid Response Team...
That being said, it's a good idea.

As I sit here, in my scrubs, I used to work at an outpatient center near a Dr's office. There were two folks there (me and the receptionist), so I carried daily. I had a clippy-style holster and a Ruger LCR. with the drawstring tied tightly enough, the pants never drooped. They do make some scrub pants with belt loops, which would pretty much open the entire gamut of carrying up to you.

All that being said, if all you're going after is transporting from car to home (and vice versa), a gym bag, brief case, versa pack, back pack or something of the such should suffice. I didn't see it broached, but if you're leaving your handgun in your car, how secure is it? I (along with everyone else) would recommend a CarVault (console vault for trucks) to store it in.

Honestly, I've never understood the horror of fanny packs. *IF* you're wearing running shorts, scrubs, karate pants - things with no pockets & no real belt loops, how the hell else are you supposed to carry stuff?

Fanny pack.

They are like pink shirts. It depends on what kind of man you are as to how it will look. One way, no one will bother you about it. The other, you will be glad you've got why you're wearing the fanny pack. All that goes out the window if you're in scrubs. People will think it has medical stuff in it.

I used to have a big fanny pack so I could carry my gun, one spare mag, phone, and keys. No one ever asked me about it. I was almost always in shorts or something that would be appropriate for having the fanny pack because there weren't any or enough pockets to carry even the regular stuff around.

In my opinion, worth what you paid for it, the company that markets clipdraw is a lawsuit waiting to happen.

I simply cannot support a carry method that leaves a naked trigger.

An open trigger in a job where you are leaning, lifting, pulling etc with thin material only covering the trigger is frightening. Plus, you really can't hang anything on the waistband of scrubs - you would be dropping trou if you weren't careful! My 9mm adds a couple pounds to my waist band, it would get real exciting real fast if I clipped that to my scrubs Funny, doesn't feel heavy at all in my belly band!

I have tried them all and if you want deep concealment where no one will ever know and be completely secured on your body go with pistolwear. Best deep concealment imo. Better then thunder carry or smart carry. Not as fast to draw but for deep concealment I haven't found anything that can beat it! It is basically like a sweat compression belt (neoprene) but with a pocket for your gun. Like I said it is tight to your body and in hospital scrubs I could carry a full size if I wanted.
