Sometimes I wear 2 fanny packs
I like to carry candy in one and tampons in one. If a bad guy wants my to hand them over, I'll do it and my hand will be real close to my IWB holster.

Really I do that at amusement parks where they searched/looked inside fanny packs ... I like to see their faces.

I wear a pocket protector and a bunch of pens on those days too

Yeah Fanny packs are like Hawaiian shirts, they are ok in some places, I wouldn't wear a Hawaiian shirt to church ...
Fanny packs are good at outdoor Street festivals, Amusement parks where carrying is allowed, going to parks or fishing, and of course at Wal-Mart "anything goes"

I still normally wear IWB holster, since it is faster to access, but there are times a Fanny Pack works very well. Maybe not everywhere, but I look like an old retired tourist anyway so I can get away with most any "look".
Prior to finding 2 or 3 IWB holsters I really really like, my Glock 19 pretty much lived in a Fanny pack. Now, it just visits on special occasions.

I've gotten so comfortable with my Velcro lined Comptac belt and Desantis Tuck This 2 holster (I added sticky back Velcro) that I just forgot to wear a Fanny Pack at last Weekend's Bluebonnet Festival and wore my Glock IWB and had a Pocket BUG in my cargo shorts pocket and about 87 rounds of ammo on me. So I didn't think to wear a Fanny Pack with a third gun+ammo.

Have many times,

I have a special leather one made to fit/retain a Glock 19 with twin zippers and a pull tab for fast access

But I have other leather ones too just plain ones I've carried other guns in.

Caution, use holster/something to cover trigger inside the pack and don't toss other items in with gun like keys chapstick etc which could activate trigger.
