IF she had a gun - not in her purse that was stolen - she was knocked to the ground, suffered a broken hip (I believe), could she play through the pain; shake the cobwebs out of her head; draw her pistol from wherever it was holstered; aim at a running target now many yards away, and pump a couple of slugs into the "10 ring"?
Then, besides probably hitting some innocent bystanders, would she be charged with a crime because the bad guy did not pose a threat to her anymore since he was running away?
Wow, that would be some remarkable 80 year old lady, wouldn't it?
As to the fire insurance - my bank requires me to have it for the mortgage. The Florida law requires me to have car insurance.
As I said, it is your right to carry. Absolutely no need for it but go ahead and do it if you do everything legal.

I'm not required to have house insurance, but I do. I'm not required to carry $300,000 auto coverage, but I do. So, in my case, it is the same as CC. It reminds me of the flood "victims" that never buy FEMA flood insurance, and then want FEMA to rebuild their house when it gets flooded.
