Someone came up with a good idea here. Holster -like, concealed, carries everything...I don't know if it will ever take off, but at least they are trying:

Anyone want to try it in leather?

This is a clever idea and looks like a nice design - and we all carry far too much stuff in our pockets but sadly, I don't think this has a future in the UK, RDB. With our firearms laws being the way they are, IMHO, wearing that thing would be like asking for a police bullet in the ear, especially in London. I'd be interested to know what CelticLeather thinks about this...

I have thought about doing something like this a few times myself, for more of a hunting vest type thing going.

but I have always stuck to my belt or thigh pockets on my combats...Doubt I will get around to it anytime soon though.

Doing the right thing is bleeding for the cause.

This has been around a while...I think it's called a man purse. :head_hurts_kr:

I sell men's bags (English made, but not by me!) in the shop, and they are surprisingly popular, but I wouldn't dare to sell anything that resembled a concealed holster! Just imagine trying to get through security at an airport wearing one of these . . . we already have to strip almost to our underwear!

Back in the 70s I bought a number of replica guns to use as dummies for holsters that I made for Western enthusiasts, and I would hang a holster, with gun inside, on my stall at craft fairs. They were a talking point, and kids (and parents) loved to handle them and wear the holsters. However, in 1996 a massacre of schoolchildren occurred in Scotland (http://century.guardian.co.uk/1990-1999/St...,112749,00.html). The government's typical knee-jerk reaction to this was to ban virtually any type of gun from public view, and restrictions on ownership which have resulted in our Olympic shooting teams having to leave the country to practice their sport!

Over the years the laws and paranoia have escalated to the point where it is now possible to be shot for carrying a concealed table-leg (http://www.guardian.co.uk/uk/2005/jun/03/ukcrime.ukguns)! I still have the replica guns and one of the holsters, but I daren't show them to anyone for fear of being jumped on by armed police.

The government are somewhat embarrassed that the restrictions have not had the desired effect. Gun crime is actually increasing, and guns (albeit illegal guns) are easier to obtain now than at any time in the past!

Ho hum . . . here endeth the rant!

Same thing happening here in the US. Its allways the same, more strict gun laws or bans means that the legal person is unarmed and the criminal who wasnt legal to begin with is still gonna find a gun. Thats allright big brother knows whats best right......

and nice looking stuff by the way. Is that bag a drummers bag or some kind of office bag, cant tell if those are pens or drum sticks lol.
