Get the license anyway. It doesn't mean you have to carry a pistol. It just means if you decide to, it's legal. If you keep a loaded gun in the car, it simplifies things. It will also give you an edge in traffic stops as most LEO's will consider you a responsible citizen. I know my warnings to ticket ratio has gone up considerably since I've had a CHL.I want one, but I am just not sure if I am responsible enough yet because I forget things....eg....my purse, and "oh, where did I put my keys?". And lastly, I go to the local shooting ranges my hubby takes me to.
As far as forgetting your keys, get a good holster/belt and maybe a SmartCarry when you're in a skirt or baggy clothes. A gun in a purse is rather useless and I would think dangerous. I know it takes my wife 5 minutes to find anything in her purse if it's not right on top. I can imagine hooking the trigger on an eyeliner and having an AD.
