As for purse snatchers, I’ve taken to using cross body straps on my purse. This way, I have it on me and secure. I’m looking for a new conceal carry purse of that style. Some of the better quality concealed carry purses have metal cable concealed in the strap, so bad guys can’t just cut the strap.
I’ve considere those handbags, but I’d rather that a thief make off with my bag then have him beat me up and throw me to the ground. It’s not worth it to suffer what might be either a killing blow or permanent injury.
As a guy I once asked my aunt why she had to tote a big bag around when all I needed was a little wallet. It’s something that ladies just DO. Maybe it is a conspiracy of the purse manufacturers of the world. If someone needs a 4 year old stick of gum or a pair of rusty tweezers, then it is the world’s aunts to the rescue. The uncles will be useless....
