When I took my conceal carry course, my instructors (swat team members) advised against using a conceal carry purse. They said it is a good possibility your purse could be snatched and then you have just armed a criminal, probably a juvenile. He suggested using a plain looking fanny pack made just for conceal carry. You unzip one short zipper that rides next to your body and the gun is available quickly. I purchased one at a gun show, but only use it to travel from home to the practice range. Never seen a pattern for one but will start looking. There has to be a pattern somewhere!
