"Oh, man. The Packin’ Neat purse holster system is a dream come true for a purse girl. And I’m a purse girl. I buy purses like a lot of women buy shoes. But it’s also a chore because I’m picky about it. It can’t just be a bag. I need some pockets for organization, but not too many nooks and crannies. And most importantly I need a pocket that will hold my pistol, which doesn’t leave a lot of choices. Consequently, my daughters have never accused me of having cute purses. So when I was asked to take a look at the Packin’ Neat system, I eagerly jumped on it.

 

I bought a couple of purses designed specifically for concealed carry, with the built-in pocket for the pistol. But they are made out of leather which makes them so darn heavy I simply don’t use them. So I have been relegated to buying purses with an extra pocket that I can put my pistol in. Not ideal, but I’ve made do. But now the Packin’ Neat system solves all my problems for me. It’s not made out of leather so it’s lightweight, but it is stitched together well and appears strong and sturdy. I love the little organizational pockets on the outside. I put my can’t-live-without items in the pockets, slid my little LCP in the holster and I was set. Then off I went to the store to see how many different purses this little beauty would fit in.

 

I had so much fun! Best of all was the visit to the Coach Factory Outlet. I have never even really bothered looking at them because I had seen a few and they were mostly single pockets or otherwise not what I needed. But I spent an hour in there trying out the Packin’ Neat in a variety of purses. Oh, no, now, this could be dangerous! I might be able to find quality purses that I can actually use on a daily basis? Oh, the excitement! Interestingly, when I told two of the clerks what I was doing, they said it was a great idea, that they have women coming in all the time asking specifically for concealed carry purses and they wished they carried them. They realized this could open up a whole new clientele for them as well.

I’m thrilled that I can now look for purses that I like the looks of and actually still be able to carry my pistol. I love the idea I can buy a variety of purses and move the Packin’ Neat from purse to purse with little effort. Finally, I can now join the ranks of the cool girls and get the cute contemporary purses. And my daughters will no longer have to be embarrassed of their mother’s purse. ~ Nancy Keaton, Author  'Girls Just Wanna Have Guns', WA
