" I rotate my handbag so that more of it rests toward the front of my body and gently pat it. It’s a tell by women who are packing heat in their purse. Many do it without thinking, a subtle check of hard steel through the leather. My touch is greeted by the bristles on my hairbrush, but no one else knows that."
Where did she get this insight into the secret codes of pistol packing molls? Has anyone ever heard about this "tell"? If she has done this much research, then why doesn't she just arm herself with something more comforting than a hair brush?
What a neurotic nut job...!
and she's wrong.
I guess that would be why you are the Author, and I am the flypaper.
I'll have to send you a photo for you to really understand it - the brush is really a long cylinder, with the handle, maybe 1" in diameter, at one end and the brushes at the other, sticking straight out from the cylinder. That end is wider, if you count to the end of the bristles, which are only about 3/4" long.
Well, just like a pencil, or a rolled-up newspaper, this cylinder can go into an eye [if you have a pet doctor who will answer these questions for you, ask him - I don't know how far you have to go to kill someone because you're going thru bone. But if you're fast, you can destroy both eyes. You can also aim for the nose, putting the brush across the face, and break the bones at the top of the nose. The end of the handle of some brushes is small enough that it could go into the nose; depending on its size, you could break the bones there in front of the brain. Moving down the face, HARD strikes on the face or the ears with the bristles would hurt like crazy and be distracting - injurious, maybe. If you're strong enough, you can lay the brush across the larynx and crush it [assuming your attacker can't back up and get away] - that means no breathing after a very short time. Essentially, read up on the kubotan, a Japanese weapon of self-defense of about the same size as a hairbrush. Barring pointed ends, anything you can do with a kubotan, you can do with a hairbrush.
Does that answer your question?
I have found that my brain is like flypaper - it catches things and holds on to them, even if they're unrelated or currently irrelevant.
oh, please, please , oh pleeeeeeeeeaseuse it in a novel! I'll be jumping up and down thrilled if you do!!
She's suffering from delusional paranoia... and probably a healthy dose of propaganda-instilled political correctness.
She couldn't just walk up to the guy and discreetly tell him, "Um, your bulge is showing", looking at the print of the gun. Noooo, she has to wrote a psycho-thriller evil-gun Pulitzer contender...
"Thanking the clerk, I walk toward the YA section and my children. We won’t be spending money in this store today. We will be leaving as quickly as I can get them through the door,..."
Given that she never actually sees a gun, and over reacts nonetheless, my guess is that her offspring were retrieved from the YA (Young Assholes) book section....
She's literally saying this because the store allows law-abiding people with a gun permit in the store. Criminals will enter a store without regard to whether guns are allowed, probably actually favoring a gun-free store. She'd rather be in the store where only criminals have guns?
This person has an active imagination. I would be afraid she'd get worse after a glass of wine.

More people are killed by automobiles than by guns.
1 they have no interest in facts
2 they are already trying to destroy our choices on cars and put us all in cramped little deathtraps. Don't point out another angle of attack
Yes I agree, unless they subconsciously enjoying rubbing its hardness through leather. (She said that; it's not my doing.)
When I lived in FL, 15 years ago, the rule was you couldn't overtly flash it, even by accident b/c it could be misconstrued as a threat, which seems reasonable to me.
"Why is a leftist so quick to fear a person with a gun but attack those who fear a Muslim? "
What? Why are people more afraid of a criminal carrying a gun than a criminal carrying a ethnic/religious identity? That can't be a real question.
I object though. I think many people do.
What planet are you writing from???
No adult with that many phobias, and hang-ups, could function in the real world....
Or after she shut down her laptop, pushed away from the dining room table, and checked to see if they had brushed their teeth for bedtime....
Now THAT is something I would pay to see! ;-)
