Mind you, it's also just not that realistic. I'm sure there are some women out there who carry in a purse, but not most. Personally I'm not much of a purse person anyway (I've got one but it's mostly for special occasions) but even on the occasions I do carry my purse, I still use a proper holster for my carry gun.

I should say I’m loving the book itself, but it happens so often in books it’s worth pointing out. It can make an otherwise very smart and realistic character seem incredibly dumb, and it’s just such a bogus writing crutch.
