What is the alternative? If the alternative is to draw from any kind of concealment, it won't work. Not enough time in an elevator or in a stairway. In fact some of this might entail shooting at contact distance with the bag against the assailant's body. That increases the chances of a hit dramatically.

Sure, shooting from inside the bag is not ideal, but hits are not impossible. The problem is one of indexing. The gun has to sit in the hand properly and has to be positioned against the same spot in the bag each time. The gun and the bag are pushed forward toward the target. If nothing else the flash and bang in a confined area might save your life.
