Yes, you are correct on all counts. I’ve never seen a CC purse so I don’t know how a gun is secured in it. It’s a shame this woman did not recognize the danger of her grabby baby getting into her purse.
my speculation is that they said the child was two years old - this may have been the first time the kid was able to do such a thing. mom may have ever even thought it could appen b/c the kid was too young to do such a thing, before.
