So, this would require a little training and a lot of cooperation on the part of your wife or girlfriend.
You know you're going to be in a sketchy area, so you have your better-half, pack your weapon in an IWB holster in the typical over the right kidney position. Then when walking along, you just nonchalantly walk close to her with your arm behind her back and slightly forward of the concealed gun. Someone approaching you would think you are just a non-threatening, loving spouse, and with your arm around her waste you don't look threatening or ready for action. If things go South you're in the perfect position to execute the draw, while shoving her out of harms way.
Now, this would never work with my wife because she thinks I'm just paranoid and would not voluntarily agree to any more bulges in her wasteline, but with the right partner, I think this could work.
I think I'd still carry my own ordnance, in the event we get separated, i.e. her ducking into a boutique or art gallery, or me sidling on into a gun shop. Again, my wife would never do it, but if yours is more understanding you might even get her to attend a women's Self Defense shooting clinic, like those put on by Heidi and Clint Smith out in my neck of the woods; Oregon.
I'd like to have you guys propose this idea to your significant other and post the anticipated, or actual results if you really have the guts to try to float this boat. I'm bettin' we'll get some interesting responses. And, aren't you proud of me; I came up with this all by myself; tongue in cheek as it may seem.
