Conservative pundit Tomi Lahren has become the butt of many Twitter jokes after sharing a photo of herself wearing exercise pants designed to carry a handgun.

The Fox News contributor, 25, took to Instagram last week to share the snap, which sees her posing in the black leggings and a matching crop top, with a pistol stuffed in her front pocket.

Lahren's exercise pants are sold by the brand Alexo Athletica, founded by a former host on the now-defunct shopping channel Gun TV.

'Live. Speak. Stand. Run. Carry with Confidence,' Lahren wrote next to her social media photo. 'Ladies, chances are your assailant is gonna be bigger, stronger and faster and that's why you have @alexoathletica for your gun, your mace, or even your phone. Yeah, you've got it covered.'

Alexo Athletica says it wants to help women defend themselves, and sells two kinds of exercise pants enabling female athletes to carry their firearms.

Its $99 signature pant and its $84 carry crop both have enough pockets to transport essentials listed by the company as 'keys, card, phones, knife, mace, flashlight, firearm'.

The brand's co-founder, Amy Robbins, says she was inspired to create the company by her own marathon training, because she wanted to be able to train 'without fearing for her safety'.

Comments: Many Twitter users were left either dismayed, amused, or shocked by Lahren's photo, and took to social media to poke fun at the design

Feedback: Some took issue with the idea that exercise pants, which look like they could be worn to do yoga, could be associated with gun ownership

Many Twitter users were left either dismayed, amused, or shocked by Lahren's photo.

Some found the pundit's timing to be in poor taste, because her Instagram post came right around the date of the March For Our Lives, the student-led demonstration in favor of tighter gun control that took place this past weekend.

The demonstration occurred in response to the Stoneman Douglas High School shooting, which left 14 students and three staff members dead in Parkland, Florida, on Valentine's Day.

'If your first reaction to children victims of a mass shooting that killed 17 classmates is to pose with a gun stuffed in your yoga pants, you need help,' one person wrote in response to Lahren's post.

Others pointed out that the design could seem unsafe, especially if the pants are worn during a yoga session.

'Breaking News: Tomi Lahren rushed to hospital after trying to do Downward Facing Dog with gun in her yoga pants,' one person tweeted.

Some took issue with the idea that exercise pants, which look like they could be worn to do yoga, could be associated with gun ownership.

One person poked fun at the leggings for that reason, writing: 'I'm glad they are FINALLY making yoga pants that meet my knife-toting, gun-carrying needs. Gotta do child's pose with my handgun!'

'WTF. Don't turn Yoga [pants] into something related to gun toting,' another Twitter user wrote. 'It's literally the opposite of what yoga is about. Yoga pants are for Yoga. [Or any other time that you want to be comfortable and awesome.]'
