Side discussion on wallets, that's a whole other issue I want to address! I carry two sets of cards, personal credit and debit, plus business credit and debit and various office access cards for different locations. I constantly have to manage my wallet or end up with a George Costanza.

I use a drawstring bag that i got for free from college but I've been seeing large fanny-packs work over the shoulder more often in the city! Might be worth jumping on the trend...

I’ve carried a murse for over twenty years. Mine happens to be Louis Vuitton. Expensive, but - 23 years and still like new. All of my stuff in one place all of the time. Wallets don’t get ruined from being stuffed in hip pockets, hips don’t get ruined from sitting cock-eyed on said wallet.

I carry two cell phones, keys, RF blocking wallet, sunglasses, and a Sig 9mm. I don't need any type of purse. Front left pocket gets keys and a phone. Right front gets wallet. Right back gets other phone. Right side gets IWB appendix holster. Sunglasses hang onto front of shirt.

Capishe!

I remember those used to be extremely popular, everyone had one.....used to be cool

Go with a sling pack.
It's ok for a man to carry a purse as long as it's masculine. Sling pack works.
It's not masculine for a man to carry a feminine purse, but a female can look feminine carrying a masculine purse.

It's not masculine for a man to call his bag….. a purse

Today is different for most men, as there are tech items such as iPads, phones, ear bud cases, chargers, and other guy stuff to carry around.

This is what I rock as a purse. Lol

Nothing is more masculine than a tank bag.

Yes, statistically, the most dangerous places in the US are those with the strictest gun laws.

Nope. If youre looking at raw numbers of course the populated areas have the highest numbers but per captia they lag, and the strictest areas are at the bottom of the list.

State by state if you count per-capita the top 18 are very gun friendly states (9 of them have unlicensed open carry). Also you're just statically not going to run into a stranger with a gun who kills you, the most likely person to kill you is yourself, second is your intimate partner.

As far as the US as a whole we are the 7th most likely country where you are to die by gun (not counting places that are currently under occupation or at war), outclassed only by places in south and central America.

I own 3 of them, I used to sell them (as an FFL licensed dealer), Im not anti-gun I am just realistic. Not being political, but numbers are numbers.

The most important part of carrying all of this is having a good belt. I have a Kevlar reinforced belt that is made for concealed carry. It can hold up any of my pants all day long.

Just remember it’s not the legal gun owners who you need to be afraid of, it’s the previous convicted bad people who are the problem.

You should actually feel safer visiting Florida knowing there are a few million people legally carrying guns. Whereas in NY there are probably millions of people illegally carrying guns.

From "man purses" to gun control. Good job!

Man purses and guns are actually very closely related through the CCW subculture.
