A lot of Reddit and some on this forum stress always being the gray man, not having stickers on your car, some even going as far as to say not to wear a hat or t-shirt or related apparel that even slightly mentions a gun brand.

The reasoning is something like that if you have a Vortex optics t shirt on, the hyper aware James Bond John Wick turbo criminals will clock you a mile away the second you step out into public. Or something like that.

They also say that if you ever print or even worse possibly wear a bag carry, you’ll be done for as criminals will attack or rob you, Karen’s will be calling the cops on you as soon as they see you instantly in any business and you’ll be in prison for crimes unknown, your dog will be shot, your car robbed and set on fire; etc. etc.

So to test this theory I took out my new Obscura bag for a test run with the Walther PDP. Spare mag. Takes my same Vedder holster I use strong side carry.

Easily fits multiple keys, wallet, AirPods, secret AirTag pocket, pepper spray, first aid kid, whatever you want really, knife etc.

10/10 on build quality it’s really impressive for the money. It’ll run you about $100-117 or so.

I must be grayest of the gray men because I wore this gun bag WITH THE CAGUNS SHIRT to the gym for over an hour and to
Multiple stores with my wife and nothing happened. Other than the usual middle aged ladies smiling at me due to my boyish charms, nobody even noticed or paid attention to me.

Hilariously my Colombian wife thought it was a stylish bag. I had to explain the gun part of it. I forgot in Latin American and European culture dudes wear these for the love of the game lmao. She thought it’s sick af though

But the fact I wore an obvious gun bag per Reddit and with a gun t shirt I can’t believe I made it out alive of the suburbs guys. I’m a lucky guy.

Gray man haircut?

Gawer, props for rocking the emo do and not some awful llamacut, but you're probably a little old for the Broccoli.

The bag is interesting and larger than I'd expect. Good for carrying your favorite normal-sized gun. Hell I could carry my TS2O in that thing.

Also, the word could be shortened to "Graymaxing" or "Graymaxxing" if one insists on dos equis.

My brother in Christ. How many threads are you gonna open?

We'd be out of things to banter about if he isn't around

Ain't that the F-ing truth. My sister in laws BF carrying slabs and packs in his murse at all times.

Be a man and embrace your inner future middle aged self and roll a fanny pack like the rest of us.

Your sister in law must be in middle school or something.

This is the way. Nobody will look at you twice much less suspect you are carrying

I don’t even remember writing this post

But I wanted to point out you can wear a gun t shirt or hat and nothing is going to happen

Must have been a good time

Where was my invite?

Going back on topic, a few weeks ago I saw a young dad with a child and a crossbody bag in front of his chest. He was playing with the kid and still had the mag firmly at his chest level. It was so damn obvious to me that he was carrying but I think it's a case of those who knows won't care and those who care won't know. If people think you are carrying a man purse or something that makes you less of a threat that's actually better for you.

Agreed. I can't stand the people that make it weird on Reddit
