RACE WAR Chest rigs are a fashion statement now

Here since the beginning

Walking through a large shopping mall yesterday, I happened to see two hispanic men (a MSM outlet would have described them as "teens"; they were probably around 19) wearing chest rigs over their regular clothing. The clothing was ordinary civilian stuff. The chest rigs had no pouches or other paraphernalia attached, and one was Coyote Brown, while the other was SWAT Black. They weren't plate carriers either, as neither one was all that large. They were very obviously *not* security for the mall, or anywhere else either.


Just something else to drop into your observations file.

I expected some hotties with chest rigs when I opened this thread.
Very disappointed.

Do you mean these? What idiots! Good way to get shot as they pass for someone carrying a bomb.

Saw an older guy -60ish carrying a purse at church yesterday. There was just something "off" in the way he carried it. If he was 20 I'd say he was "trans." I don't know - but I kept my eye on him.

They would use a carry purse.

I saw two faggots carrying a diaper bag and two brats in tow at the airport. Easy to tell which one was the mommy. It made me cringe. I feel lke I've been living in the Twilight Zone for the past 30 years. It all unraveled very quickly.

One of my Uncles (long dead) was career Navy, and he ALWAYS carried a purse. Dad said back in the Dark Ages when they were in the military that their uniforms didn't have pockets. When my Uncle finally retired, he still carried his purse and would never put anything in his pockets. I miss him like crazy.

If I saw something like that I'd be moving away from "them" really quickly. Combat vests in civilian garb smells of trouble to me. Fashion statement or not.

I wouldn't worry too much, the chance of either of them knowing how to use what you're supposed to put in them is slim. They probably use them for tampons.

Young maiden was jogging down the path when these two dudes bobbed out of the brush in front of her.

As she starts fumbling in her pouch, she says: You want money, I got money.

So one of the dudes says; What we really want is you.

So she pulls a .38 revolver and opens fire.

They were last seen running away.

Probably a desensitizing/response test. They walk around like that for a couple months. Gauge the responses from people and LE alike. Then once everyone is used to it and the police don’t respond as fast, that’s when they load them up for an attack.

That was my initial thought as well.

My rig is a 9mm with 16 rounds plus 1 in the chamber. A spare loaded mag on my belt. An additional loaded mag in each of my thigh pockets. A fixed blade tactical knife in my boot. Back carry Tavor-21. Appendix carry Saiga 12 gauge ( Belt fed, of course ). And a German Potato Masher grenade in my drawers ( Or maybe I'm just happy to see you ).

That sounds similar to this chest pouch/holster. I think they're made for joggers.

I got something very similar to that. Mine has a regular handle in the top center of the bag though. Since I walk with a crutch these days carrying anything and opening doors is a real balancing act...so I use it to carry my Bible in. Lol, imagine the thoughts that would race through someone's mind if I started unzipping the front 'pouch' to get a church track out...

Hmm. I need some kind of modified shoulder holster-farm & garden tool- goat & girl first aid thing to wear in the back 40.

Wonder if those come in dry wick and pretty patterns?:hmm:

One of the guys I work with does training. We had a conversation the other day where he told me about a couple of guys that showed up fully kitted out, full commando, the guys even had helmets. The class was for civilian self defense. As the two were loading up out of their trunk, he asked them what they were doing. Turns out, these two were recent vets coming back from the sandbox and this is how they were trained.

My co-worker asked them if this is how they dressed to go to work these day, "well, no." "So take all that crap off, put on a ball cap, you need to learn to fight with what ya' got on a regular day." Both guys loved the class and learned a lot.

This is almost the opposite, slowly starting to dress on how they plan to fight...
