Well, it screams gun to me, but maybe I'm more use to looking for them.
Folks nearly always claim that non-standard carry methods that can be seen "screams gun" to them. It only screams gun because they show a gun in the picture. Either that, you things scream gun to these folks only because they don't seem real people in the real world outside of the gun community.
What else would one carry in there?...you lunch?
This brings up a good point about use. The size is great for a number of things. My kids have packs of this size. I have one that is similar that I use for photo gear. However, what do you carry in it with a gun?
Well if used as show, pretty much nothing would be carried in it other than a gun unless you can be very private in accessing the contents without others seeing your gun or your spare mag in the mag pouch. Otherwise, you will just be the guy who carries around the baby pack for which there appears to be no reason because you are never seen actually using it.
This was the problem with fanny pack use. Many fanny packs (mine included) has pockets other than the main gun compartment. I carried my keys, cell phone, change, gum, etc. in my fanny pack. It got used in the views of others as a pack and not as a holster. I wasn't the guy with a fanny pack on, phone on my belt, wallet in back pocket, keys clipped to my front pocket. Those folks obviously don't use their fanny packs for anything other than guns. Carrying around a weird little pack you never access in front of others would make it seem out of place, not because of the size, shape, or color, but because of how it is and is not used.
Id say you be better off with a larger pack or backpack. Or just carry IWB if you can't Open Carry.
Yes.
