Reply #7: Sounds quite believable to me ... [View All]

The .45 auto and the Glock (depending on the models) were probably larger handguns more suitable as "car guns" than as carry weapons. The lady had what was probably a much smaller .38 caliber handgun in her purse. If she was married, one of the car guns could be belonged to her husband. Since they were elderly, there probably were no young children in their household and might have just left the car guns in their locked car at all times.

I sometimes carry a stainless S&W .357 mid sized revolver with a 4" barrel in the center console of my vehicle and a .38 snub nose revolver in my pocket. Since I am 65, I also could be considered elderly. My daughter also often carries two revolvers with her while she is driving, a mid sized S&W .38 cal S&W revolver in the center console and a snub nosed .22 magnum revolver in her purse or holstered inside the waistband of her pants for concealed carry. She sometimes carries a BUG (backup gun) which is a tiny .22 caliber mini revolver which she calls her "get away from me" gun.

My son in law likes pistols more than revolvers and has a compact .40 caliber Glock with a laser sight in his glove box and a Ruger .380 LCP in his pocket.
