Glad you are ok and no one was hurt!!!
Be careful when doing this.Venus Pax wrote: . . . When I get into a restroom stall, I put my purse on a hook. I unzip my purse and stick my gun inside the empty compartment, making sure my finger is off the trigger and the gun is on safety during this process. Once my jeans/skirt are completey fastened and my support gear is "re-rigged", I will carefully reholster my gun. . . .
Some years back, a friend's mother had her purse snatched when someone reached over the top of the door to the hook she'd hung her purse on, grabbed the shoulder strap, and ran off with their prize.
Never caught the miscreant, but the victim had to get new ID, notify the credit card companies, change the locks on her house, etc. (Unlike yourself, she had no gun in the purse . . . this was back in Chicago.)
