I'm bumping this thread because I am interested in getting the gun clutch as well. A friend of mine owns it and I really like the leather and the uniqueness of the bag (a really fun clutch with a satirical message). That being said, for those of you who own it or want to convey their opinion, do you/would you get a lot of use of it? I'm afraid that I will be shy to take it out once I own it. Also, is it ok to have it in your checked luggage when travelling ( some airports have banned it as hand luggage).
