Concealed handgun purse
#21
I'm waiting on my concealed weapons as we speak. :) Should be here in the next week or so. I've carried a gun in my car for years though (Sig 45). In MS your car is considered an extension of your home so it's legal to carry a weapon in it without a permit. I've got a gun under my side of the mattress as well (Browning 9mm). I shoot all regularly and am very comfortable doing so.
I've seen the concealed weapon purses at the gun shows but I think they're super ugly. :P I've decided what I'll do is modify any purses I carry to hold the holster for my gun in one of the side pockets. The holster is an inside waist style so it has a snug metal clamp that holds well agaist a flap of material. I'm going to be carrying a Ruger 380 so I won't need a lot of room in the pocket.
I'll be watching this thread to see if any patterns pop up that I like.

Sorry guys...this is the quilting board but guns come in a close 2nd in my book. Just call me "PPM" - pistol packin mama....
Still hopin' that someone can help me out on a pattern.
Leslie :D
I think cotton and batting would be plenty strong enough for a pistol. They aren't as heavy as one would think. Heck, we put flour and sugar in cotton sacks.
BTW my turkey season is this weekend! Woo hoo!

The only thing I want to toss into this thread is, I work in the retail business of selling guns and work everyday with ccw instructors and police officers. They always remind us ladies that even though ccw handbags are a great idea remember, What is the first thing they try to take from a lady her purse! I perfer to carry on my person.

i've had to do a lot of editing in this topic.
the question is whether or not anybody knows of a good pattern.
please do NOT hijack this topic again to debate the issue of gun ownership. whether you're for it or against it is beside the point. this board is not the place for that conversation.

My Walther 380 weighs 19.4 oz w/the magazine. That's about the same as my wallet! I'd put both in a quilted bag, no problem. But I DO agree with the carry on your person peeps! It just depends on where I'm going :-)
