Lingerie for hot shots: The ‘Flashbang’ bra with a hand gun holster

‘It was kind of like, where can I put this thing so it won’t show,’ she continued.

She found that a woman’s bra was the most logical place to place a gun, where women can simply yank at a handle on the holster to release the weapon.

Details: The bra is fitted with a shell (above) that clips itself around a hand gun in able to safely store it

She said: ‘Women have this natural little overhang here and it’s a great spot to tuck a gun.’

The garment’s slogan reads: ‘Nothing comes between a girl and her gun’.

She added: ‘[You] can’t get to the phone and call 911 all the time, you know you need to be able to defend yourself.’

It is said that the average time it takes to draw the gun from the bra, which retails for $40 online, and fire the gun is 1.5seconds.

An eBay account that is selling the design comes with further details.

Designer: Lisa Looper (above), the owner of a law enforcement supply company in Oklamhoma, came up with the design in order to give her the ability to defend herself at any given moment

Snappy: Mrs Looper demonstrates how quickly a woman is able to pull the gun out from her bra design

It reads: ‘Statistics show that most
gunfights last about 2.5 seconds, there are multiple attackers over
80per cent of the time, and the fight will be in extreme close quarters,
usually within touching distance.’

‘You need the ability to draw and
fire as soon as possible without alerting the suspect to your intentions
until they receive your gun fire,’ the spiel continues. ‘Weapon retention is
paramount, meaning purse carry is rarely a viable solution.’

For the fashion-conscious, the bra comes in a range of colours, including hot pink, nude and black, as well as sizes.

A pistol amongst the bazookas?

A monumental mistake as anyone going for the gun has to entangle her own hand in her shirt to get it. IF the attacker is close you’re potentially alrerady half bound for him. I’ve had a concealed carry permitt for years and there is nothing worse than a weapon too difficult to get to.

Interesting choice of story when you consider that the Brits aren’t allowed to own guns for self defence. That option is available only to the ruling classes who made themselves exempt from gun legislation.

great…they are just giving TSA a reason to ban bras on planes.
That will be interesting to watch as women are made to take off their bras before boarding planes.

When did she take the safety off, or did she put a loaded gun in her bra with the safety off?
