A company called Alexo Athletica sells yoga pants with pockets that are designed to conceal weapons like guns and knives, and it's dividing people about whether or not it's a good idea.

The pants first went viral over the weekend after Fox News contributor Tomi Lahren posted a picture of herself wearing them on Friday.

Lahren's Instagram post appeared to promote the leggings. "Live. Speak. Stand. Run. Carry with Confidence. 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," she wrote in the caption of her post.

Lahren has been outspoken about her beliefs regarding the Second Amendment and the right to bear arms in the past. Over the weekend, she spoke out on Twitter about her concerns over the March For Our Lives, an anti-gun violence protest organized by Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School students.

She's not the only person to pose in the pants. Alexo Athletica's Instagram page is full of women showing off how they style the pants.

"With nine pockets, these versatile high-rise quality leggings were designed to hold all your essentials that make you carry with confidence," the product description on Alexo Athletica's website says of the $99 pants. 

According to the brand's website, Alexo Athletica is dedicated to helping women feel safe at all times.

"Alexo will never back down from supporting a woman's right to choose how she defends herself while striving to bring the best in fashionable, functional active carry-wear to the market," its website says. "Alexo is broadening the definition of the word 'carry' to encompass whatever the women desires to carry in order to feel safe and be able to carry with confidence."

People on Twitter have no idea what to think about the yoga pants, which facilitate concealed carry. 

Some people were aghast.

Twitter user Rachel Delmar pointed out that the gun-friendly pants seem to miss the point of yoga.

Washington Post opinion columnist Elizabeth Breunig remarked that the pants sounded like a joke.

Other people, like writer Rainesford Stauffer, found the situation to be absurd.

Of course, Twitter users shared some cynical jokes.

"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!" writer and actor Rachel Leishman joked.

The athleisure brand hasn't publicly addressed the backlash over the pants in a statement. It did, however, retweet conservative blogger Allie Beth Stuckley's post about the leggings, which said: "All press is good press."

Representatives for Alexo Athletica and Tomi Lahren didn't immediately respond to INSIDER's request for comment.
