I'm going to take a wild guess that your brother isn't someone who would be easily knocked over by a 150lb tweaker who grabbed his maxpedition bag.

Well no that's true but I doubt a 150 lb tweaker would be real excited by the idea of dragging a 120 lb woman around either.

I'm going to take a stance that's against the general agreement here on this board. I don't think there is necessary anything automaticly wrong with bag carry. Heck I've done it and know several cops who do so regularly. The thing that counts is how carried not in what.

What is most important is having a method of carry that allows you to keep a gun handy and with you. Ease and speed of access are a important factor but you should never have to rely on a fast draw.
