I never mentioned CCW. You’re right, the fact your estrogen is running high today, is not my business.

Well, it’s not really a purse. It’s a small bag with a strap, sort of like a map case, but apparently even that is not manly enough for the freeper fashion police. It’s a tight squeeze on the train and anything else bigger just because a hassle.

I carry a dispatch bag because if I wear my Steyr M9, expandable baton, and two spare magazines on my belt, my sciatica flairs up and cops look at you funny if you wear load bearing gear to Walmart.

I've got an old hand carved leather purse my sister-in-law gave me. It holds 50 rounds of 12 ga shotgun shells perfectly. When it does not have shells in it it has a powder flask, ball and caps, flint, steel, knife and fish hooks.

200 years ago most men carried a “possibles” bag when out.

In 1966, the USAF issued us a shoulder bag to carry our books in during maintenance training on B-52 Bombers.

These “man-purses” are best described as “tactical diaper bags.” I have one, and they’re handy.

9 billion, they must be including brief cases and lunch pails. Why do they haveFTP fag everything up.

What’s wrong with a backpack?

I am 74 and not quite into back packs, baggy pants, backward ball caps - hell, I NEVER wore shorts unless playing basketball - possibly as a very young child, but not in my memory bank, and since I started ‘picking out my own clothes’, I have never worn them.

Agreed, how better to carry a 45 with 2 spare mags, fighting knife, flashlight, multi-tool, small baton, offensive pen, and other items I deem inappropriate to list at this time. Oh, and ,of course a BUG.

That's a line right out of the progressive's playbook, and a huge crock of sh!t. I'm a raging heterosexual, and I don't want anyone thinking otherwise (one good reason I will NEVER own a man purse). Just like I'm a conservative and would never want anyone thinking I'm a libtard. That said, go ahead and carry your purse if you're comfortable with it.
