A lot of ladies carry way too much stuff in their purses a gun has little or no business in one.During the Christmas mugging > > > > I mean shopping season of 2009 there was a lady leaving the local Super WallyLand with her purse strap across her chest. A car pulled up next to her the passenger grabbed her purse and they sped away. The woman was dragged for 50 feet or so before the purse snatcher let go. Fortunately she wasn't hurt too badly mostly scrapes and bruises but it could have been so much worse.
My wife refuses to carry a purse with a shoulder strap and during Christmas mugging season she only carries a small wallet in her pocket.
