Laptop bag that can hold a concealed small single stack

I am looking for a new laptop bag and I want a bag that I can conceal my single stack in. I have looked all over the web and there are several listed as "Tactical" messenger bags. I still have to use the bag for my MacBook, business cards, file folders, etc., so it still has to still be fully functional for business use. Can anyone recommend a good bag?

Can't recommend a bag, but I can tell you that a decent zippered case for a small tablet (7" screen) is a great way to keep a small single stack in just about ANY bag (backpack, messenger pouch, laptop case, briefcase, etc.)

Oh, and avoid "tacticool" anything. If you're going "tacticool", you might as well be open-carrying, not worrying about concealing the gun.

Just one of tons of options out there:

In my role of perpetual curmudgeon, let me say that carrying off-body is pretty dangerous. And it is especially dangerous when the off-body carry is a computer bag that begs to be stolen.

Many moons ago, an off duty female police officer was relieved of her purse (and the gun it contained) at a local shopping mall. The very first thing a bad person will do is take your laptop bag, and thus your primary means of defending yourself. And if you are like me, you will lose or misplace some very important items in your lifetime (wallet, keys, children!) despite your best efforts.

Off-body carry is something that people regularly do, and I get it. It just has some major liabilities. An easily concealed pocket gun - even a small one - is one alternative.

+1 Off-body is sometimes unavoidable. But the downside of having it grabbed or even forgetting it someplace after setting it down somewhere IMO generally outweighs using off-body unless absolutely necessary. My 2¢...

FWIW if you carry off body and drive a car you might be violating the law. In some states if you concealed carry in an automobile the gun must be on your person. I know people will say you won't be arrested or charged. The simple fact, is a violation.

Doesn't answer the OP question, but I agree with you.

That's why I own a LCP. Fits in dress pants pocket. Or IWB in a tuckable. Or belly band.

But, maybe the laptop case idea is for a second gun? Dunno :)

I have this bag and have been carrying a g43 in the concealment pouch in the bag for 2 years. It is a great bag even if you don't want to carry. I have since moved to carry IWB now but still haven't found a better laptop back than this one.

I hate off-carrying. However, in some states I visit - Illinois, for example - where a business displays that state's approved "No Concealed Carry" signage, one may lawfully conceal in a "case" an unloaded pistol and a fully loaded magazine. A briefcase, messenger bag, tablet case, etc. all fit the bill. That's the only time I off-carry.
