Not Just Your Ordinary, Run of the Mill Purse...
>> Saturday, February 7, 2009
It is no secret that I have enough purses to out-fit a fairly good sized village. I can't resist a cute purse. I just can't do it. I do however, in an effort to keep my addiction from breaking the bank have a $12.00 spending agreement with myself. I will not purchase a purse or bag of any kind if its price-tag exceeds $12.00, UNLESS it serves a very specific purse or need.
When I found this little gem, I was disappointed to see that although on sale, it exceeded my $12.00 limit by $8.00. I just can't justify $20.00 for a purse. Not when I have so many.
Still resisting the urge to put it in my basket, I slung it over my shoulder. I could smell the leather. It felt good, it sat good. I was smitten. That is when it happened.
I discovered a zipper flanking the side of this beautiful chunk of foreign made, sweat shop produced, man made leather. Behind that zipper was concealed a cute little pocket, adorned with an equally cute and trendy pattern.
This little pocket spoke to me. It plead with me, expressing the endless possibilities of what it could conceal behind its man-made walls. Lip-gloss, cell phone, feminine hygiene products. But then it spoke the magical word. Declaring its true potential.
One word and one word only...GLOCKS. This unassuming purse purchased at my favorite store declared its true potential. Its devotion to me by taking the oath to carry the burden of my armor. To protect ME!
Its as if we were made for each other. Like peanut butter and jelly. Laverne and Shirley. Danielle and her concealed carry permit. Destinies fulfilled.

You are too funny. I was at Nordstroms last night, trying to decide if I could spend $200 on a Marc Jacobs bag. I had $100 gift card, but still. I haven't bought an expensive bag in a while.
I know my purse (wallet) is different from a ladies, but I've had my wallet in my pocket for at least 40 years. It looks that old also. I still wear a pair of shoes on Sunday in the summer that my wife bought me in 1966. (Repaired several times, of course.) I were a watch on Sundays I bought in 1963. I'm driving a car I bought new in 1979. The Prophet said, "Use it up, wear it out." I follow the Prophet. Hee Hee
Wow, I'm a little bit scared of you now :)
I own three purses, and I NEVER use any of them. What to do, what to do.
You are a complicated woman!
Oh, I love the bag! Perfect size for a small bottle of Vodka!
And it is so amazing- my my how things change- A certain incident with a laundry basket,the trailer and a mis-directed item.I tell alot of people about you going from a well- - to being heavily armed. Love you Fatherson
You are DEFINATLY one person who any God fearing want to continue breathing human mugger or evil doer should avoid at ALL costs. Armed, acurate and totally able to put it where it counts- That's my WR- Love Fatherson
I have been looking a handbags on etsy for the last few days. I haven't considered the need to hold a weapon though. Thanks for pointing that out.
Funny lady!! Love you.
Genius! My mom hides her gun somewhere in our house. I'm not completely sure where.
I should get pepper-spray or something for my purse.
A woman after my own heart! I, too, love being heavily armed. I used to have a 9 mm, but I got rid of it. I really want a double barrel pump action shotgun, but they don't make them.
Is Utah a right to carry state? If not, I am just curious as to why you have a concealed weapons permit...OH I forgot, you're CIA! LOL
You are now armed and even more fabulous! Nice bag!!!
Good one! Sounds like your daddy is proud of you.;<)
Absolutely, you justified that purchase!
I've got a purse habit too. But not a single one has a secret pocket big enough to hold anything other than feminine hygiene products.
You and your gun thing...promise to tell me first if we meet and you are pissed at me okay??!!
Wow! I didn't realize that girls outside of my neighborhood rolled like this. Good to know that you can still manage to make packin' heat look so stylish.

Cute purse that packs heat!!! A definite must have. I love the lining.
I like to shop at Marshall's for purses. Sometimes you have to pick through them, but they have Coach, Dooney, and a lot of other name brand purses, for a fraction of the price.
I think I love you.
too funny and i too have a very bad and evil purse obsession... and you so needed that purse!
If you need another purse, that fits a gun, and a budget check out my giveaway.
The lining on that purse is ADORABLE! And what better thing for it to hold than a gun!?
Niiiiice.
LOL! I don't have my carry permit(yet) but I do carry a pink box cutter with me every where I go! I always have it stashed in a pocket in my purse because you just never know!
Now, I have to know where you got that purse so I can further convince my husband my carry permit will be put to good use :)
My hubby said very cool except for the glock! He prefers Sig Saurs. (That doesn't look like it is spelled right)
I will punch him for you!
If you can't take the heat, stay outta the kitchen, right?! Love the purse and your whole - whoa I can fit my piece in there. Sweet. I thought only tough Alaskan girls thought about packin' a pistol...my bad.
