I'd say deal with the carelessness of the person leaving her purse unattended & not "blanket" punish the responsible law abiding people trying to protect themselves and family.
Years ago some of our schools had shooting clubs among the many other clubs offered for students. In light of school violence that club has long past.
Then we saw new rules\laws where students cannot carry a gun to school. Never mind that laws already existed covering illegal "carry" without a permit and laws against shooting or killing someone anyway.
Will someone with intent to harm stop and say "Oh, I was going to go to school and kill my teacher (and/or) students but since it's a law I can't carry a gun there, I guess that just spoils my plans."
God forbid this happen but I certainly wouldn't want to know my child or other children got shot or killed when someone could have helped prevent it but had to leave their legally permitted handgun behind because of this...
