I got my girlfriend one of those purses with the holster in it; she loves it. There are always those that will point out the risk of someone stealing the purse, before she is able to retrieve her gun. While I agree that is a risk, I think it's better than leaving it at home- although I do dread the thought of arming a criminal. But there aren't many options for carry without altering your wardrobe (i.e., baggy shirt). I run the same risk myself when I tuck my piece in my "Plan B" (looks like a day-planner) or into my laptop bag. Or, for that matter, when I have to leave it in my truck when I'm at work. Fanny packs are similar, although to me nothing screams "gun" like a guy wearing a fanny pack at Home Depot.
