I remember hearing a firearms instructor ask a woman who was contemplating purse carry, "Will you have the purse in your hand or on your shoulder all the time? You won't ever set it down in a shopping cart, or to try on a garment, or to put on or take off your coat?"

She had to admit there were a lot of situations in which she might lose the purse and a damn nice firearm, wired shoulder strap or not.
