I just read all the replies...
Obviously all male.
I am in Texas, and CHL for over 20 years.
When I get asked why I carry such big purses. I reply “So I have room for an extra magazine.”
Normally I get a strange look, but sometimes a wink. It is Texas.
Wife used to carry in here purse... until a no gooder tried to take her purse while she was in Wal-Mart. Had it in the cart and dude came up and just grabbed it and started walking. She yelled, he dropped the purse and took off.
She carries on her body now.
I'm in love. LOL
