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?
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.
Fair, but I'm not taking my maxpedition gun purse out to any place but the range. My coach will due until I can find something cute that also carries.
This article is pretty old, but the info is good. A lot of the links from it are dead but it looks like these folks have not-strictly-utilitarian looking carry purses (lotsa leather though, so not vegan friendly).
Ugh now I kind of want to be a purse person instead of a pockets person because there are a lot of cute purses
