How to parry questions about your CCW.

So, I'm sitting at a restaurant eating diner alone tonight when a lady eating alone next to me apparently decided to strike up a conversation.
She asks, "Where do you work? I see you're wearing your tool belt." (Referring to my Maxpedition Octa around my waist.)
I replied, "Oh Miss, that's not a tool belt. That's my Man Sack."
"You're what?!"
"My Man Sack. You know, my purse. Very Metro Sexual of me, don't you think?"
"What do you carry in it?"
"My makeup."
She laughed and turned away. I went back to my meal.
Nothing more was said between us. I guess she wasn't interested in my Man Sack anymore. Works for me.

And I didn't get slapped!
Yeah... Me neither.
Ok, I gotta say it. THEY MAKE PORNO MOVIES THAT START OUT THIS WAY!!
Whew..
You should've followed up the man sack answer with the question, "Wanna see my gun?"
Usually I get blank stares and looks of concern when I use lingo from here in the real world. People I work with still don't know what a jelled hair, cheeto munchin nancy boy is....
. . .By MEEE! I've finally joined the popular culture! WOOOOOOO! :cool2:
The loss of that thread with the old forum is my biggest source of sorrow about that day. . .

I just say it is a medical device case.
Wanna see what's in it, hey.:devil:
If I'd been wearing a Savage hat, shed have KNOWN I was gay and would have never started the conversation.
but it is two
Nope, man sack was the perfect choice. Although, I mean saying it out loud here? In front of these guys?

Yah, I know, nicely done, I just needed a way to work the Savage hat comment in there.
C'mon Wambli - respect the 'sack!:tooth:
In a probably futile effort to bring the thread back to seriousness, the fact that attention was called to your mode of carry in the first place ought to tell you something. Guys don't carry purses. I.T. geeks might carry briefcases, and they generally look like I.T. geeks. Fanny packs are worn by time travelers from the 1980's, overweight Walmartians, the occasional jogger, and people carrying guns.
Might want to rethink your carry options. It shouldn't be a point of conversation AT ALL.

About the only way for me to truly conceal is with a large button up shirt untucked. But, even with that, any twisting, turning, bending, or sitting and I will print. In the past, I've even used an ankle holster with jeans and t-shirt are order of the day. It works and I got pretty quick with presentation.
Unless I am dressing up where the buttoned shirt is practical, I've relegated myself to the grab nd go of the Man Sack. It is easier to explain, actually draws less attention than the butt of my gun bulging through my shirt, and frankly...........I don't care anymore.
The Octa is quick, easy, allows me to carry what I want to carry, with all the accessories I want to carry, quick to present from, and 'conceals' my weapon.
Will somebody suspect I have a gun? Maybe. But, so what.
