Interesting some of you are picking on carriers of firearms. To many people it is just as natural as putting on a belt. Lots of people strap a knife on their side or keep one in their pocket. Shoot my dad put on his belt and had a holder for a pair of pliers that he wore every day. Not sure why, except he grew up on a farm, he didn't use that often but it sure came in handy when he needed it. I am a contractor and it is not uncommon to see me with a tape measure strapped on my belt.
