The average British woman's handbag is worth about $1,037, according to a survey published Wednesday that examined both the cost of the bag and its contents.


Damn.

if they do then they will have been trained on how to do so.   most ccw women don't carry in the purse tho...  but... if you lose a gun... you go buy another one.   Like ra said... now you are out even more money.   Like not buying a car cause it might get damaged or stolen.

Heh, bring back the days when it was fashionable for men to wear side-arms, and women could wear derringers or something similar strapped to their leg (if the wear skirt/dress).:D
