From the blatant exploitation of a tragic event department comes news that the National Rifle Association has created a hoodie with a built-in holster for a pistol. It appears the organization for gun nuts is seeking to cash in on the hoodie furor surrounding the murder of Trayvon Martin. Here’s the catalog description:
We want concealed carry to fit around your lifestyle — not the other way around. That’s why we developed the NRAstore™ exclusive Concealed Carry Hooded Sweatshirt. It’s the only garment of its kind we know of! Made from a pre-shrunk, heavyweight 50% cotton/50% polyester blend, we’ve taken a standard 9 oz. fleece sweatshirt design and added a full-body polyester lining for added warmth, durability, wind resistance and weight distribution. Inside the sweatshirt you’ll find left and right concealment pockets. The included Velcro®-backed holster and double mag pouch can be repositioned inside the pockets for optimum draw. Ideal for carrying your favorite compact to mid-size pistol, the NRA Concealed Carry Hooded Sweatshirt gives you an extra tactical edge, because its unstructured, casual design appears incapable of concealing a heavy firearm – but it does so with ease! Includes drawstring hood, cotton/spandex ribbed cuffs and waistband, two front pouch pockets and a discreet black zipper. Includes one Velcro® holster and one Velcro® mag pouch. Colors: Black, Navy. Made in USA.
But Buck, you didn’t tell us the price! How much is it?
Trish,
It’s $60.
Which is $5 cheaper and more functional than this one:
