Anybody else pack a heater? (Non-burgerlanders, we know this is not normal or good, but we are surrounded by frothing at the mouth chuds with guns). Right now I carry a pepper spray and a legal knife, never needed to use it, but I'm thinking of carrying. What are your thoughts on this from the trans perspective?

I only have full to extended frame right now, but they can fit in my purse. Not I'm not a fan of small guns with average calibers, but a .380 might do the trick for a subcompact for me so long as I get a grip extender mag. I've thought of revolvers for concealed on my person too though.

Off-body carry is not great, purse snatching becoming gun snatching makes a bad problem worse. There are purses designed for concealed carry through; with fast-access dedicated firearm pockets/sections and (hopefully) reinforced or somehow body-attachable straps.

Fair, but I'm not taking my maxpedition gun purse out to any place but the range. My coach will due until I can find something cute that also carries.

This article is pretty old, but the info is good. A lot of the links from it are dead but it looks like these folks have not-strictly-utilitarian looking carry purses (lotsa leather though, so not vegan friendly).

Ugh now I kind of want to be a purse person instead of a pockets person because there are a lot of cute purses
