Is this bag a man purse?

I wouldn't go with this bag, but for the opposite reasons of the backpacker crowd. First, I wouldn't want to be caught dead in a backpack unless I was hiking or in a war. Second, the bag you have is not really metro, as js81 asserts.
It's funny how people still thinks their masculinity has something to do with the size of their bag, its utility value, and whether its hard or soft. Aside from the freudian aspects of this, great men throughout the ages have always rolled in style. It's manly to be stylish.

Gun?
Actually him using the word "man purse" is enough indication that he is american.
Dude, if you carry a gun, who cares? Just out of curiosity, what do you to that requires daily use of a firearm. If you're an officer of some kind, then the question is really moot...
How about attaching a chrome woman silhouette? Pro-gun stickers, Palin campaign decals, maybe animal pelts. The ammo clips could be attached externally, or simply allow part of the gun to be visible, like you forgot to pack it carefully.
Always be in the company of an obvious hooker, or at least dress up your wife or girlfriend to look like one. They may or may not like this, but, they can carry the bag for you, the best choice in several ways.
The next topic is how to carry your assault rifle; by the straps like crazy people at health care meetings (surprisingly gay looking under the circumstances), or simply by the stock like a soldier in a battle zone?

As I do not carry a M1 Garand or SKS, I carry magazines for my handguns - not clips. Thanks for your input though, well thought out by the way. As you were interested, I do carry a spare magazine for my AR-15 in the bag, however, I leave the rifle in the truck.
At any rate, we're getting a bit off topic here. As I type, I'm in the public library. I haven't been hit on by any males so I guess it's all good.
No problem. I do happen to be a SAR member however, so if you start crawling around the woods wearing red and carrying a musket - no promises. It might just be in my blood.
kufford, you have a "gun" in it??
how is that not the topic of this conversation?
Well, you see... I asked a question - specifically, "is this bag a man purse?" To further the discussion, I discussed why I liked the bag for reasons which included the ability to carry certain items. I'm unsure why you concern yourself with what items I carry legally? Perhaps if I had posed a question concerning which bag has the easiest access to my crack pipe or something? I'd suggest you not concern yourself with the contents of my bag. Thanks for the input, though.
male handbag = manbag
I'm surprised no ones pointed that out yet?
...gun???
now thats just scary!

This is definitely my favourite topic this week - apart from the 25,000 threads on the release of SL. Anyway, give the guy a break, he carries a gun, he's Jason Bourne or a hitman for Apple. Who cares...
So, I'm thinking man bag, perhaps with a little Kevlar along the way, maybe a couple of plates of ceramic armour? Am I getting warmer?

The bag isn't a man purse, it's fine.
You can get these really nice ones now though, for going through airports, they have clear plastic sections so you can just unfold them and get your laptop through security without having to get it out of the bag.

That would rule out almost every briefcase used in the business world, at least in cities.
To the OP, your bag is fine. Honestly, you can use whatever you want. If a particular bag doesn't have feminine detailing or lines, it's not feminine. But I reject the idea of a "man purse." Bags are bags -- use the one you like.
That' a nice bag OP. And I'm not a metro kind of guy either. Leather on it looks nice and rich, tasty.
Do you carry TWO guns? You must live in a really scary place. And I thought Glasgow was rough!
P.S. Your bag looks fine.
Actually, and this is part of the topic, the bag is okay; but dude your stove is immaculate. Are you married? Girlfriend? Cuz, no manly single man's stove is going to be that clean!

Hey Kufford - this you?

The picture of the fish being clubbed on the 'welcome' page is particularly charming. I'd assumed you must have a halfway reasonable excuse for carrying firearms, but obviously not.
God, the USA is a f**ked up place.
