Look like a cop while doing inspections

Give people the impression you are armed with a handgun when you are not, and become automatically eligible for a Darwin award.
 
I dunno, I know that different folks like different 'things'; and I know I'm always on the lookout for an easy, convenient way of packing all my junk (while still having it handy and available). But to me, it's just ugly and when you tape a $60 price tag to it, it just gets uglier ... again, to me. Guess I'll just keep looking.
 
That's just the strangest item I've seen in quite some time. It does give the impression of having a gun and the impression of why does this person have so much stuff that they had to get that thing? I bet the people who buy them are Starwars fans and people who want to look like they're packing. Oh well.
 
BIG SMITH overalls cost less and can double as a hands warmer and you can also carry a sawed-off shotgun down your pants leg for those difficult inspections!

For you high tech guys, theres a place for your finger phone too!

I prefer a man purse slung jauntily over my shoulder pads as I sashay onto a jobsite sipping my Latte........ with my Nomex slacks and steel toe heels, of course.
 
I forgot one key design feature, a place for your pencil "the only guy on the job site that would have something to write with" Don't leave home with out it!
 
Should make mugging someone easier, 'cause you know they'll put everything in that convenient carrying pouch!
 
Two quick stories:

My first year as an inspector here, the police department made an inquiry to my boss as to whether or not I was carrying a gun. Someone at the PD had just caught a glimpse of my belt holstering a black 6" maglight adjacent to a flipphone, and thought I was carrying.

In the last town I lived in, the local building inspector transformed, over a period of about six years, into a flow blown cross-dressing sex-changed transvestite.

No kidding. Started out as a regular guy, ended up wearing dresses and make-up on the job! Beach's post reminded me of "Jackie".
