I bought my daughter a concealed carry pistol finally. She is moving out of sate for a job, two week ago, she came home and said she wanted a gun before she moved. So I got her a gun and working on the ammo. But then got to thinking she might want or use a concealed carry holster at times. I know often she does not carry her purse or hand bag. And I know that guns are not something she has spent any time reading up on or learning about, what is available.
I got her a Walter PK380, like I got for her mother. Since I am not petite by any means and not female, I have no idea, what she or other females might actually use to carry a small pistol. Yea, I have found adds, but those are adds created by companies wanting to sell holsters. But really, what would a young 20s petite female really use to carry a pistol concealed? I saw multiple adds for concealed carry holsters, but all of them, look like she would find them uncomfortable, or bulky. I know if she does not like the holster for any reason, she won't use it and won't carry the gun, unless she has her purse. Which, I may have to work on getting her to do at all times. But I know telling her to carry a purse at all times, will probably be a waist of time.
I don't want her going 1000 miles away, having a gun and plenty of ammo, then it stays hidden away in a closet or somewhere else, while she is going to where ever she goes throughout her days. She will be working at a hospital and most likely working at night, at least for a while.
She is supposed to be home, later this month, I want to have the gun, ammo, and holster or anything else ready when she comes home. Then work on teaching her to use it. Walter makes a 22, that looks virtually identical to the PK380, I am likely going to buy two of those. One for my wife and one for our daughter. So they can both practice a lot more, without having trouble coming up with 380 ammo.
Teaching her to use the pistol, I don't think will be that difficult, she has shot guns in the past and did very well. At least with rifles and shotguns, I don't remember if she ever shooting any handguns. Teaching her how important it is to always have it where she can get it quickly, I think will be the harder part. So I really want suggestions from females or anyone who knows a female that actually carries a concealed pistol and what works for them.
I really wished I could have gotten the pistol sooner, but it took about a week and a half for it to show up. It got here the day after she left to go back to school and work. She has been working as a bar tender, while going to college, which I was not fond of at all. But I think that job and then working in hospitals, doing clinicals, she is going to be a nurse, has opened her eyes to the potential of dangerous situations. I heard her boss was not the nicest person, but after she went back to school and work, I heard a story about her boss. I am now pretty sure he has a drug habit, and sounds like he gets violent at times. Then other times, passes out in his car, in the parking lot, with the door open. I am wondering, if her boss, may be the reason, she wanted a gun so quickly. She kept asking when the gun was going to get here, while she was still here. I know something has happened, most likely related to work. But I know I can not tell her to quit her job, she will not listen to that idea at all.
If my wife, did not work for a bunch of liberals, and I could get her to carry her pistol all the time. That would make it much easier to get our daughter to carry her gun all the time. My wife and daughter are the same height and very close to the same weight. So what would work for one, should work for the other. I have been working on getting my wife to change jobs, so I can get her to carry her pistol. Had I gotten this accomplished years ago, we could have already found something that works for her and then it would be easy to get our daughter to use the same holster. But that's not how things have been. I am hoping my wife, will have a better job, working for some company that is not run by such extreme liberals, some time in the next couple of years. But, if I can find a holster for the daughter, that works well, and she uses it regularly. I can probably get my wife to carry her gun, when not at work, which would be a start.
Thanks for any info.
