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.
