If that purse had been in the floor for her to have to reach for it, then it may as well have been in the trunk. If you cant get to it, it does not matter how many rds are in it.

I guess I disagree. I don't think there is any on-person carry that would have a quicker draw in this situation than in the purse. She can completely put her hand on the grip and finger along the top of the trigger guard before arousing any suspicion. From that point to firing is VERY quick. I will venture to guess that no other concealment would allow as short a time between showing your intent and firing than the purse. Yes, IF the purse were in the trunk with her weapon in it, she could be considered completely inept. But, it wasn't, and she wasn't.

Sometimes makes me wish I was a female or could get away with carrying a purse w/o undue suspicion.

Great action under pressure. Kudos to this officer!
