Food & Hand Guns

Friday night we stopped by to see my friend Kasie. She’d just been to a cooking convention with her mom, and she asked me to come over to check out some of the cool stuff she got at the convention. I keep telling her she should have went to culinary school because this girl loves to cook, and she’s awesome at it.

While I was checking out her new cooking goods, Hubby was checking out the newest gun her boyfriend purchased. He’s a gun collector, and he has a really awesome collection…locked up in a very expensive safe for protection I might add.

Kasie mentioned to me she had also purchased a new gun that I should check out. It’s a .22, and it’s one of the coolest smaller hand guns I’ve seen in a long time. Since she makes a lot of trips to Atlanta by herself for work, she has a permit to carry concealed. She already has one handgun, but she’s afraid to keep it in her purse because she thinks the stuff in her purse could end up bumping it and making it fire if it’s cocked and loaded.

The new .22 doesn’t have anything that can stick out in the way and get hooked on something like a keyring or bumped by anything when it’s loaded. She can stick it in her purse without worrying about it going off.

That had me thinking about my mom. She has a permit to carry concealed as well, and when she had to travel she always takes her gun with her. She’s got a very nice 357 magnum, and thankfully she’s never had to use it, but she’s got it if she needs protection. She absolutely would never keep it loaded in her purse, but she still carries it if she’s going to be traveling.

Then this morning I saw these Galco purses that have a built in gun holster in them, and I thought that would be absolutely perfect for my mom.

I still haven’t bought my mom a Mother’s Day present yet, so I might just talk to Hubby about ordering her one of these if I can afford it. I think it’s a great idea for a present.

I’m definitely going to show these to Kasie, too. I bet it would give her a little more piece of mind knowing she has a built in compartment especially for the gun.
