My mom carries a cell phone with the phone numbers for my brother and me. My brother is a police officer who works in her area. In the unlikely event something happens and someone was to be foolish enough to try to harm either my mother or my 80 year old father, whoever it is needs to hope my brother gets there before I do.
My Mom carried a Colt Bankers Special in .38 Spc for as long as I could remember in her purse. It was a wedding gift from my Dad when they got married.
And my grandmother(Mom's)carried a 38/44 Heavy Duty in her purse. But,then again she worked for 31 years in the GBI. That was one huge purse.
I can't ever remember either of them without a gun close at hand.
I miss them both.

OP
Getting into grandmothers is a whole nother story. Mom's mom always kept a foile (unblunded, of course) close at hand. She was a fencing master and instructor. I think anyone meaning harm to her or her family would find themselves skewered in extremely short order. My grandmother was of French blood and fearless, probably as a result of surviving the Mexican revolution as a teenager.Her foile wasn't very concealable but she had a case for it and frequently carried it in her car. That alone, might have had some deterrent value.

NOTHING.
She's lived in Illinois since before I was born.

A no-dash Model 49 Bodyguard I gave her after her old Charter Arms Undercover was stolen from her vehicle last year. I had given her the Charter when I was in college and was dirt-poor. She's 81 years old, about 4'7" tall, not very strong, and doesn't shoot very well. However, I think she's got the will to try, which counts for something.

...a little late to this thread...but...my mom never liked guns...didn't carry...but my mother in law was a different matter. We took her shooting one time...and she thought my Super Blackhawk was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen. I let her shoot some specials through it...and she was convinced she needed one. She made me take her to a gun show and she bought a new one...I'm sure the dealer thought it was the strawman (strawwoman?) purchase of all time with me standing there...but of course...it wasn't. She went shooting with us after that with her box of specials. She ran out one day and I handed her a magnum and said..."here...try one of these..." She managed to keep the front site from creasing her scalp...but didn't like the magnums. She's suffering from the onset of dementia now...so I have two SBH's now...the newer one has shot...with one exception...only specials.

Mom was the bookkeeper of the A&P in Harlan KY for 44 years. Probably had more cash on hand any given day than any place besides the two banks. In all that time she never had a firearm at work.
Now, she did do the night deposit to the bank but she had my dad, a 5'10" butcher who carried a Dexter filet knife. I watched him take whole chickens and fully cut and pack them as parts in 19 seconds on a daily basis so I don't want to know how he would have done with the 21 foot rule.

This thread made me smile... My mom doesn't shoot or own a gun, but I'm a mom and for now I carry my BG380.

Mom is afraid of guns, but that's okay since my brother now lives at home with lots of guns.
My wife's gun used to be mine - a 4 inch Smith & Wesson 681 loaded with Speer 135 grain .38 Special +P Short Barrel loads and wearing Crimson Trace grips. She heartily dislikes semiautomatics and appreciates the simplicity of a good DA revolver. She can also put six rounds tightly into center mass at 25 yards.
