Ladies Concealed Weapon Purse
From LoveToKnow Handbags
For women who carry guns, a ladies concealed weapon purse is an essential accessory. This is one instance when style is definitely not of utmost importance. This type of bag serves a much more functional purpose.
Concealing Weapons
Anyone who carries a weapon – whether for professional reasons or for safety purposes – knows the importance of keeping it concealed. Though it would be relatively simple to just drop the weapon into a purse, this method isn't practical for easy removal. An emergency situation won't wait while you dig around in a messy handbag, after all.
In addition to being practical, the bag or case you store it in should also keep the weapon completely concealed from the general public. Not only is there a great likelihood that people would panic upon seeing the weapon, but there's also a certain risk of theft involved with carrying a weapon.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, weapons carried for protection obviously rely on the element of surprise. If the criminal is aware that his potential victim is armed, his method of attack may catch the victim off guard.
Types of Ladies Concealed Weapon Purses
Though there are many types of bags available for carrying weapons, some are more practical than others. Here are just a few of the wide selection available on the market today.
Fanny Packs
Hardly the epitome of style in this day and age, fanny packs are generally shunned by the fashion community. For that reason alone, they're likely to garner a few stares, though it's unlikely anyone will guess what's being carried inside this concealed weapon fanny pack. With three zippers, four compartments and a sturdy black leather exterior, this fanny pack will certainly stand the test of time (unlike its nylon counterparts of the '80s). Spacious enough to fit most medium and large-frame revolvers and automatics, the fanny pack allows the pistol to be drawn from either the left or right side.
Leather Purses
A leather purse that essentially mirrors a basic everyday handbag is the most practical option for concealing a weapon in most environments. Fortunately, a wide variety of bags are available to suit even the most discerning tastes. Of course, you aren't likely to find a ladies concealed weapon purse created by your favorite high-end designer, but that's for the best in this case. When your goal is to conceal a dangerous weapon, your best bet is to blend in with the crowd. These fuss-free bags will help you do just that.
