Concealed Carry Purse and Handbags

For all the lady gun owners out there who want to make sure they can conceal their legal permit firearms properly, check out our line of concealed carry purses. When it comes to concealed carry handbags, there’s a common misconception that women automatically have it easier. While men have to rely solely on their wardrobe (and mindfulness) to keep their firearms properly concealed, women have the added benefit of a purse, but it is essential for safety that the gun is easily and readily accessible.

An important feature is to have a separate dedicated compartment to carry the gun. This is the most important feature — it is not safe to carry a firearm in a purse unless it is completely separate from everything else in your purse. Carrying a firearm in a purse or bag that isn't designed for concealed carry is downright dangerous — something can easily get caught in the trigger. A zippered compartment is most common, and does the trick very well. A good design for a concealed carry purse would be to have two zippers, one on either side so the purse could be used by someone with either hand orientation. This is actually an important design feature - you need to be able to make sure the pistol is enclosed in the purse so that it is secured while in the zipper compartment, but you also need to be able to open it up and access it in a hurry, if need be.

Question: What is a concealed carry purse?

Answer: Concealed carry purses are specifically designed and manufactured for the needs of the concealed carry permit holding woman. A well designed concealed carry purse conceals the existence and purpose of a gun in a dedicated compartment in the handbag. While a regular everyday handbag will hold a gun, it won't conceal it. To carry a firearm safely and responsibly, the handbag must be designed specifically for concealed carry.
