Fashion Trends And Concealed Carry

In the concealed carry world, fanny packs and photographer’s vests – while comfortable and effective – have been characterized as “shoot me first” tip-offs. They are obvious. Well, obvious at least to those who have some familiarity with concealed carry and firearms. And, it is said, to crooks.

Now, thanks to high fashion that may be changing at least for the fanny pack. Just don’t call them fanny packs. Fashion designers prefer the new hipper name of “bum bag” or “hands free bag”. The prices also reflect it. As reported in the Wall Street Journal, Korean-American handbag designer Sang A Im-Propp sells her alligator “belt bag” for $1,995.

So now, women at least can have the belt bag or bum bag for concealed carry and be considered high fashion.

First There Were the Birthers…

Now there are the Existers. According to the Borowitz Report, one in five Americans does not believe Barack Obama exists.

“The Birthers say that Obama’s lack of a birth certificate means he was born in Kenya,” says Jerrilene Rance, a leading Exister. “We believe it’s proof that he was never born.”

Ms. Rance says that while President George W. Bush was criticized for disappearing every August, “Obama is never there to begin with.”

 I can’t speak to the legitimacy of their claims but I do know that a bunch of angry fishermen plan a protest in Vineyard Haven to coincide with the Obama family vacation.

The PLA runs on whitewall tires?

The Washington Times ran a story today describing how the Chinese are rapidly building up their armed forces beyond what would be needed to defend themselves or to attack Taiwan. This is, of course, an important story.

However, when I saw the picture below of a Chinese missile-carrying truck, I cracked up. Whitewalls? The People’s Liberation Army has trucks with whitewall tires? Bwahahahahahahaha.

Tactical Pet Clothing

You have a dog and you want it to be tactical. The only problem is that instead of a German Shepherd, Doberman, or Rottweiler you have a little yapping ankle biter. Now it is no problem anymore thanks to the folks who have produced the Tacticool dog sweater.

Let’s get real here. What says tactical more than a silhouette of an AR-15 with a red dot scope? I sure wish they made it in either camo or Coyote brown!
