I have a Kel-Tec 3AT, a G27 and small revolver, so I have a few choices. I have heard about water resistant fanny packs, but we all know they scream gun! I plan on wearing a shirt and shorts.

Does anyone have any experience or ideas in this area?

I guide groups on overnight canoe/kayak trips and always carry two guns. One is a .38 revolver that I carry in a pouch on the front of a small cooler that straps to the front of my kayak. I keep that gun loaded with rat-shot for the occasional snake that won't go away. The other is my carry gun, usually a Kel-Tec or a Glock. Before going, I clean and oil them well. If they get wet (and they will, at the very least, get damp), then a good wipe-down will suffice while on the river. Dry, clean, and re-oil if necessary when the trip is over.

First trip of the season comes up in a couple of weeks............
