I have even more appreciation for why off body carry (purse for women, man-purse for guys) is not ideal. Granted there are times where it's OK, and I do it often myself (usually with a second gun in my pocket or on my belt), but you have to recognize the downsides as well. Had my wife been purse-carrying (she wasn't and doesn't yet have her permit anyway) the guy could have snatched gun, purse and all.

Not necessarily bad. Unless I'm mistaken, theft of a firearm is a federal crime, and a felony. That's more LE to look for a purse-snatcher, and a longer time he goes away when found.
