That is not rain you are feeling, those are Colonel Cooper's tears, falling from heaven...

Au contraire! Autos will fire about 1.x times from inside a purse. I (and others) have demonstrated this several times. Wheelguns will fire 5/5 or 6/6 times from within a purse. Hammerless, shrouded hammer, bobbed hammer or, ummm, hammerful revolvers will all work from within a purse. Try it...

I assumed that it was a Universal, because the old man acquired it when we lived in Miami...
I was knocked unconscious during a pugil sticks bout in 1983 at Parris Island.
No long-lasting effects except that I was KO'd in pugil sticks training while in boot camp at Parris Island in the early 1980's.
