Abstract

A concealed gun holster, primarily to be worn by off duty law enforcement personnel, is modeled after the popular sports fanny packs. The modified pack, held in place with an integral belt, is designed to conceal a hand gun holster for either left or right hand use. A snap release secures the weapon snugly in the holster, yet releases with the same feel and pressure as commonly used police holster releases. A hidden pocket, interior to the pack, may be used to hold a clip of ammunition. The integral belt used to wear the pack comprises zippered pockets which are suitable for storing ammunition, hand cuffs, or other equipment.
