I was thinking don’t keep it in something your child could grab it from. There are ccw holsters women can wear. Plus with all the other crap in a purse you don’t want to be fishing for it when you need it.
As an aside to the story, women shouldn’t carry in a purse. The top crime they will have to deal with is purse snatching. If it happens, it’ll happen so quickly they’ll be disarmed before they can respond.
Have a weapon on you in such a way you can get to it easily and an attacker can’t disarm you of it before you have a chance to retrieve it.
I know it could have slid out of the holster, but...
it seems to me that the trigger was not properly covered by the holstering device.
Most likely if the kid grabbed it she wasn’t using a concealed carry purse but there are several very nice ones out there which give the gun its own separate holster compartment.
I purse carry and I am always aware of where my purse is and where my kid is but with four, so easy to get distracted. Poor woman.
Yes, and a purse snatcher hits, and you lost your gun. Its a convenient temptation, but not the best carry option.

Well said.
I was just thinking, of all the crap that is in a purse, why would you have the safety off?
