There was a woman carrying a purse, which she described as the "correct" way to prevent someone from simply sliding it off her shoulder. Shortly after they had passed each other, my wife heard someone screaming. She said at first it sounded like a boyfriend/girlfirend argument, but she naturally looked anyhow. What it ended up being was a man attacking this woman over her purse. She said the fight went on for maybe around 30 secs. or longer and was so "intense" that during the struggle the woman's shoes were thrown off. The man eventually overpowered her and made off with her purse in the get-a-way car, a purple four door Hyundai (
@ choice of get-a-way car). My wife was by herself with both of our children and certainly was not going to leave them alone to attempt to help this woman and risk something happening to our children. However, the sadest thing about the whole ordeal was that there were "several," so I'm told, men, grown men standing around watching the whole ordeal. How embarrising. The first thing I thought of was AndyC's signature, "Remeber Kitty Genovese." This was a prime example of that. All of those men, whoever you may be, should be ashamed of yourselves. Now, to the point for the ladies, the man got away with her purse. She had no way to call for help, no keys to the car, no I.D., nothing. AND, had she been a CHL holder, 9 times out of 10 I assume her gun was going to be in her purse. Since I don't have a wife who carries, I assume that is the most common place for a woman to carry her gun. Are there any ladies here who have a daily carry weapon carried in their purse? If not there, where do you carry? I'd like to know, because my wife said that even if she were to get her CHL, it would NOT go on her person like mine on a belt holster. So, I'd like to know where you keep yours.
If you made it this far through the post... thanks for sticking in there.
A lot of ladies carry way too much stuff in their purses a gun has little or no business in one.
