Ladies, do you carry a handbag with you? Are you afraid of being robbed of your 👛 purse when you're in public? What else do you use for your stuff?

I carry a big honking purse full of stuff. Unless I'm in a wonky area I'm unfamiliar with, I'm not worried about being robbed. And if I feel that way, I leave my big bag in my trunk and carry my mini cross-shoulder with just a few cards and some dollars in it.

Smaller target, and less likely that someone wants to wrestle me to the ground to get it. Big bag is big target.

But the reason for the big bag is I carry a notebook/journal, magazine or book in it, and a buck-knife/Swiss Army knife, collapsible cup, kleenex, note paper to make shopping lists, sanitizer wipes, some makeup, packets of sweet n lo and the blue stuff, along with salt and pepper, a metal straw, ear plugs. That junk covers nearly everything that could happen when out and about The cross shoulder simply has money and ID, plus some coupons.

My purse is pretty much a small backpack. You'd be hard-pressed to get it away from me.

I haven't carried handbag in years. I don't recall how long it has been. All I carry at most is my cell phone a few keys & a small fold with my drivers & a few other essential papers.
