5 Reasons Not To Carry A Gun In A Purse
About this video
Colion addresses the common practice of women carrying firearms in purses, arguing it presents significant tactical disadvantages. He breaks down five limitations he sees with purse carry: slow access time, risk of separation from the purse, accidental discharge from objects touching the trigger, vulnerability to purse theft, and inconsistent positioning. While acknowledging the practical reasons women choose purse carry due to fashion and concealment challenges, Colion teaches mitigation strategies and urges viewers to understand the drawbacks.
Key takeaways
- Colion argues purse carry creates slow draw times because women often keep many items in their purses, making quick firearm access difficult in emergencies
- According to Colion, purses are easily separated from their owners, stolen, or positioned inconsistently, which he says creates reliability problems in self-defense situations
- Colion recommends mitigation strategies for those who purse carry: dedicated gun pockets, holsters to prevent accidental discharge, consistent practice, and treating the purse like an essential item that never leaves your side
