I carry my glucose meter and insulin in the same bag as my .45 if I am traveling. I always carry on my side, but I carry extra when traveling.

Interesting, and that works well for you I presume?

It has so far. I carry it all in a Maxpedition bag. I may be rethinking it now after reading this post.

I don't see why it would be an issue, I'd just be worried about having to dig at all for it. If I am driving for extended periods I always keep in my center console (I'm left handed so reaching across feels natural).

I don't drive so I don't have that problem.

Ah, okay!

Hopefully he always grabs the right object to test his blood sugar or inject insulin!!!

AHHH!

I think I could pull it off!
I would certainly wear it under a blazer if at a business meeting but in that case I migh as well wear a shoulder holster.

It would be awesome if you were to give us a short video demonstration of how to draw from it!!

It will be a lot faster draw than deep concealment under a shirt.

This is true!

Or they're an extreme couponer!
Or they have a pager!

I agree with TAM though, they ARE sound ways to carry, maybe not the BEST, but under circumstances they might be.

This looks more appealing than a fanny pack.
I want one but drawing from it concerns me. Most of the time I read stories about CHL close encounters with a bad guy they mention resting their hand on their handgun or reaching under their shirt preemptively when danger is imminent... Couldn't do that with this without exposing to the world you have a firearm.
