I'm anti-stupid. If you are going to carry a firearm, then CARRY the firearm. Don't leave it in your purse with the car keys and the credit cards. BTW, from a self-defense perspective, it makes no sense to carry a firearm in a purse, where it is less accessible and more easily separated from you.
Further tips: Don't drop it on the floor of a theater and then forget where you left it. And don't forget where you might have left your handgun in one of 14 schools you were patrolling as a security guard.
The Second Amendment does not give you the right to be a damn fool.
That is all.
