I have a carry-specific fanny pack that I originally started carrying (back in '96) my Glock 17 in. I didn't have any "good" holsters then like I do now. Every now and then I'll use a fanny pack when on a long car trip, especially when I'm wearing gym shorts and a thin t-shirt. It's great that the gun is readily accessible and essentially in plain sight. I pocket carry in gym shorts around the house, but there's NO way that I'd do it while out and about...it prints big time, even with my pocket .38 revolver. That's where the fanny pack is great, for me.
