My wife recently got her license and is looking for a purse for carry. I have tried to dissuade her but to no avail. My argument is "if you get attacked in a parking lot the best case senario you have is struggling for a purse with a gun in it".
She insists that she will holster it on her person in high probablilty situations.
She is a real estate agent and is constantly going out and checking on properties. She read a story about an agent who was followed into a house and attacked, robbed, and beaten (agent was male so he forunately got off with only a beating and not a raping).
She is not a junk-aholic when it comes to her purse and she is looking for something small with a dedicated holster pocket. She wants to be able to carry it around with little to no hassle. She is concerned about keeping her gun carrying habits on the down-low.
Any ladies have any suggestions? She's looking at the Galco and Coranodo Leather stuff.
The gun of choice is a Taurus Model 85 circa 1994 (no locks, but exposed hammer). She loves the hammer, says it feels more like a real gun - whatever that means. I've offered to get her something else or let her use my S&W bodyguard. She's pretty accurate with it and doesn't want to go up the learning curve with something else.
As a side note I have set a bad example. I do not carry that often. I've had a permit for years and I have kept it just because it's a pain to get it back if you let it expire. It's hard to convince her of the need to have it on her person and not in a handbag.
