If you look at the NRA store they also have belly bands. One has a shoulder attachment and the other is just the band but it has an adjustable Velcro restraint strap. I have been using this type of carry for over 15 years. (around low chest and under shoulder) It is not a "quick draw" solution but it does allow me to have my pistol on me and I am in complete control of my pistol at all times.

I agree that with or around children that purse carry may not be feasible and safe. The many options of on body carry are the best way to have complete control of you pistol.

May I also suggest that carrying a stun gun, tazer and/or pepper spray may be effective defense, especially in parking lots (checking your stun gun lets the suspected perp that you may not be a convenient choice.
