I used to do this all the time when I was going to school, and it's a great idea for the summer wear crowd. I had a satchel which I kept my books in but in the inner most flap was my Glock 30 and two extra mags. Going to draw was just a reach into the sacthel like a into a hip holster that easy. Now I see that blackhawck is offering the same thing for way more than what I paid for my manpurse.
