There are a ton of &#8220;CCW purses &#8221; out there, but most of them were made by men and don&#8217;t work at all.  We almost covered a company last year that made a purse that worked like a raccoon trap.  You could put a woman size hand into the gun pouch on the side, but once you grabbed that shiny gun, you couldn&#8217;t get it out.   Carrie is working on a series of articles for us here at GunsAmerica, and she will be the first to tell you that carrying a gun in a purse isn&#8217;t for everyone.   You have to make sure that bag stays with you at all times and is in your complete control, but in some modes of dress, bag carry is one of a short list of  options, and possibly the most sensible one.   Of all the bag companies that have courted  Carrie, to sell them on TWAW, Gun Tote&#8217;n Mamas is the one she likes the most. They have a huge assortment of bags for just about every taste and mode of dress, and the gun parts work, which is the most important thing.\n<\/p>\n<p>\nThe Gun Tote\u2019n Mamas booth at SHOT Show was insane, despite a basement location (like yours truly at GA) and nothing but purses to attract crowds. I might have understood it if we were on Park Avenue, but we are here the mostly male dominated SHOT Show in Las Vegas. I had to come back three times to attempt to even take pictures,and the throng was still there, with many of the men relating stories like mine.  I purchased my wife a pair of concealed-carry purses. Both still hang in the closet, often used to highlight my inability to find an appropriate gift and destined to be used as hanging planters someday. <\/p>\n<p>\nDon\u2019t get me wrong. My wife carries, just not in those purses.  Apparently they were designed by a guy with as much eye for fashion as I have.  Plus, there were certain challenges with the purses.  One of them is the raccoon trap, even with a small LCR.   Even her very small hand gets stuck inside the purse. The other one I purchased seemed more fashionable, but was too petite to accommodate a gun, wallet, cell phone, makeup, car keys, you get my drift.  <\/p>\n<p>Gun Tote\u2019n Mamas is one of those success stories that really came about by accident after Claudia Chisholm was displaying embroidered wallets for Kingport Industries at the last SHOT Show that took place in Orlando, FL (2009). In one of those windy outside tents, traffic was light, but the questions and follow-up calls were persistent.  &#8220;When will you start offering concealed-carry purses,&#8221; they asked.  Claudia  said her husband nagged her for nine months to start working on concealed-carry purses, with the same eye for fashion as all Kingport Industries gear, a high end luggage and bag company. When she relented, Gun Tote\u2019n Mamas was born. <\/p>\n<p>Judging by the crowds, she\u2019s done everything right in the past five years. Prior to beginning design work, Claudia  talked to shooters, NRA instructors and women who carry. Her goal was to create a line of handbags women will want to be seen with, yet retain real concealed-carry usability, because we are after all talking about real gunfights here, and nobody needs to bring a raccoon trap to a real gunfight. Then she sent samples to a variety of shooting schools, including Gunsite. After more modification, she rolled out her new line. <\/p>\n<p>Here are some of the key components gun guys don\u2019t think about. A slash-resistant strap is critical. We always talk about gun retention, and one of the most popular ways to grab a gal\u2019s purse is to cut the strap, grab and run. Good luck with Gun Toten\u2019 Mamas purses.  The straps are built with something like a cablelock inside, so you really can&#8217;t just cut them with a knife.  Some of the other features you\u2019ll find are included holsters (that can be moved to suit individual shooters and configured for left- or right-handed use), leather zipper pulls (when fashion demands), roomy enough main compartments to swallow all that battle gear and the kind of looks that will make her girlfriends jealous. All leather used in the company\u2019s purses is produced in the United States.\n<\/p>\n<p>Take my word for it, don\u2019t buy until your wife approves, but, as difficult as it was to actually get pictures,  check out some of the line. An Evening Shoulder Pouch, a Traditional Open Tote, Concealed Carry Basic Hobo Handbag (the zebra print really had the booth abuzz), and a Concealed Carry \u201cRaven\u201d Shoulder Pouch, among others. The offerings are too many to detail here, but if you visit  Gun Tote&#8217;n Mamas (with your wife or girlfriend), I\u2019m pretty sure you\u2019ll both ID something perfect for Valentine\u2019s Day.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This story came as a tip from our friend Carrie Lightfoot at The Well Armed Woman.
