Many of the purses I"ve seen have special compartments on the outside of the purse where you stick your hand while you're walking to the vehicle. Unless you put things in that compartment along with the gun, I would imagine you'd be fine. (When I say "you", I mean your daughter.)

I would also like to recommend the belly band. My dad gave me his because he didn't like it. I think its neat. Rather than use the cheapie holster, I put my Bersa in the belly band and put panty hose up over it all when I go to church. (My husband finds this amusing.)
I think I recall from your original post that she is in school studying something in the medical field. I don't know if she's doing clinicals yet, or if her buildings permit her to carry, but my neice wears pantyhose under her scrubs since they help prevent vericos veins (sp?). The belly band under panty hose might be a good option for her if she's in scrubs.
I agree with you that the purse is better than nothing.

Again, I think its great that your helping her with the costs and encouraging her to be a fighter. She's got a great dad.

I don't do purse carry, so I can't give you many options. cornered cat will have some information.
Also, I think its wonderful that you're setting her up to carry by paying for the tools and fees. I know how much it adds up, and that's very generous.

If you bring her to the forum day in September, lots of other ladies will be there. She can get a lot of great ideas from them. Everyone has something they do that is a little different than someone else.

Also, I'm not sure where you live, but Donna offers some classes in Conroe at Thunder Gun Range. If you call up there, she offers classes, but I'm not sure how she schedules them or what spectrum she goes through as far as concealment.
