Unfortunately, I was attending a wedding at the ocean front Saturday night (Atlantic and 39th St). As I was wearing a dress and heels I had no place to safely store my gun (my subcompact has a malfunctioning recoil spring, and I'm awaiting a new one from Sig to arrive so I couldn't carry that, and only had full size guns in working order), so I had to leave it at home, but did carry a tactical knife in my purse. The absence of my gun did actually draw attention from my friends as 1) they're not accustomed to seeing me in a dress and heels, and 2) because I NEVER go anywhere without my gun, and had made an exception to that rule for this one wedding (will never make that mistake again). Thank God I was able to safely make it from the hotel where the wedding was to the parking garage where my truck was parked when I left late that night. When I got home and read the reports of all that had happened mere feet from me, I realized my mistake, and will never leave home unprotected again. :banghead:
