I have prepped my wife to something similar. I have also instructed her to be in hysterical panic as she tosses her purse to a mugger upside down and in the direction opposite she is planning to run. If we are together, I told her to wait until I am also ready to toss my wallet and we'll toss together. The diversion should give her a second to get clear and me a secone to draw.

True, but in a situation where there are people around it also gives you an opportunity to get the ‘lay of the land’ and see who is who and where they are.
Naturally don’t even plan on opening fire until absolutely necessary.
The throwing stuff in different directions is ‘old’ but tell people that and they say “now that is a good idea”.
It is right up there with having a ‘fake’ wallet or money clip with some ‘bait’ money.
Also a good thing to have a ‘key word’ so she (or you) know to duck when you are ready to discharge your weapon.
Main thing is to ‘have a plan’ - I am ‘anal’ when it comes to that.
