Re: no holster. can i open carry a bag?

space cat wrote:my typical year-round daily wear is shorts and tshirts. i'm about 5'9", 150 pounds. just sticking a practice gun in my waistband creates lots of printing. i haven't had the cash to put into holster experimentation, but i've been carrying in one of those little triangular padded zipper bag you can get from academy for $5. usually i just carry it from my house to the car this way and stash it in the car or laptop bag. but can i legally carry these in public, especially into chl legal places (malls, stores, etc)? it's technically concealed, and unmarked, but i still feel uncomfortable going full public. the first couple time i took it out my mom was with me and she thought i was carry a cash bag to make a bank deposit! one friend who knew what those triangular pouches typically held called me out instantly. what do you guys/gals think? :confused5

Please do not do that, it's irresponsible and dangerous.

For just a bit more you can get an ACE CASE or similar tuckable holster

DeSantis Nemesis Pocket Holsters are only about $17.

Keep chapstick/keys/fingers/loose items out of the trigger guard with a holster. If you carry in a fanny pack/bacg/sack/computer case etc don't put "other stuff" in a pocket/pouch beside it to get into the trigger guard if only separated by fabric. even carrying in a briefcase, backpack, purse, pocket, fanny pack or sack requires a holster of some sort.

Any 2 Holsters for $20
(includes shipping & handling*)

You can get "better" holsters later, but don't be the guy on the news who "accidentally" shot a lady at the store when his gun dropped ... as he didn't carry in a holster
