I carry an East German RPD ammo bag everwhere- it's just a little camo satchel with a shoulder strap.I usually have a book or magazine visably poking out the top and with my mp3 player earphones leading to it,it's not even worth a second look for most people.I usually carry a G19 or P239 IWB but when I'm walking some place I'll throw one of them,a G22 or P226 in my bag and be on my happy way.
As far as what people wear and what others think of them: when most people see the average middleaged white guy ( lets be honest about who most people that carry are) with a vest or fanny pack they just think " over the hill guy that's lost whatever sense of style he might've had".Gunny types can spot a 5.11 vest or concealment fannypack 50 meters from their 6- most people don't care.I had a woman in line at the supermaket turn to me and make a comment about " people just think they need to go everywhere with a gun these days" and I thought I was printing or something- she was actually talking about the off duty cop in shorts and tshirt with a G27 on his hip that was leaving the checkout for the door.Nobody was freaking out,no cellphones were pulled - just one comment and that was that.I'd be willing to say that it would never even have crossed her mind to look at my own waist to see if I might be carrying.
