Why would a woman with a concealed weapon permit carry a gun in the one place that a mugger would try to steal? Obviously posting opinions on a message board doesn't require training. Granny on the otherhand, would of had to undergo training, fingerprinting, background checks, photographing, pay a few dollars here and there all before she received her concealed weapon permit. Then she would of probably visited a gun shop or two and most likely would not have been quite as dumb as you protrayed her in your example.
