1. It should have been in her PURSE, not a safe at home while she’s out.
2. It should have been on the couch next to her as she sits alone and watches TV.
3. It should have been in her hand at the first knock.
I disagree with the whole purse carry mentality. It seems like a good idea but the purse is the first thing a thug is going to grab and that could make drawing impossible.
Yep, Yep and Yep!!!!! And sticking her beak right up to the door, (looking thru the peep hole), at the first knock is inviting being knocked out, and thus 100% defenseless, if the perp decided to violently hard crash that door into her nose/face/head with no further knocking at that point. Paranoid?....Nope just being prepared.
