Gun Tote’n Mamas, the leading provider of women’s protection solutions, is sponsoring two special classes taught by renowned firearms and Alaska Native Donna Anthony, owner of Point Blank Firearms Academy. The course will be held at Sportsman’s Warehouse in Anchorage, May 4-5.
Titled “Purse – Bag – Sling: How to Use Your Conceal Carry,” the free course will provide an opportunity to train with Anthony for three hours on how to properly handle, draw and holster a gun from a concealed carry purse. Featuring Gun Tote’n Mamas bags available at Sportsman’s Warehouse. No experience is needed for this course.
According to a notice for the event, Sportsman’s Warehouse said it “recognizes the critical need for this course,” let by an industry expert.
Anthony brings an impressive array of 35 professional certifications including SWAT, NRA, Active Shooter, USCCA and vehicle assault Off Body Concealed Carry Instructor. She will focus on teaching both the five-step and three-step presentation of drawing from a purse. Participants will have the opportunity to respond to real-life situations, ensuring a hands-on and practical learning experience.
“If you’re going to carry in a purse, you need to know two things: how to safely draw it without muzzling yourself, and since it will take a little bit of time to make the draw, you need to have situational awareness,” Anthony said of the course. “It also depends on the style and quality of the purse you have, because you can have a three-step or a five-step draw. The quality of your holster purse system cannot be underestimated or ever taken for granted.”

I’m glad to see this. Women need a way in today’s world to defend themselves. Also this will teach gun safety. With more courses like this we can cut down on gun violence and people ACCIDENTLY being shot! I for one think gun safety needs to be taught at school and at a young age. Teach a child correctly from the start it stays with them their entire life.
When men shoot a scumbag, the lawyer class wring him through their system. Women will get free passes. We’ve put our women in front line military positions. The system is screaming for a female POTUS. If you fine folks think this is good stuff, you haven’t been thinking hard on it. Making killers out of our nuturers because we refuse to build prisons or gallows for our criminals is yet another really foolish idea. I hate to put myself forward as some sort of prophet, but I’m seeing stormy seas ahead………….
Reggie, learning how to defend yourself with a handgun does not make you a killer. Most nurturers, aka mother bears, are physically weaker then men and need a way to level the playing field. Knowing how to handle a gun gives us a measure of security, but one we hope we’ll never have to use.
Agreed on all points except the definition if a “killer”. If you kill, you’re @ killer. Even if justified, it will follow you……..forever. Yet again, government’s primary (and I mean that as #1 responsibility) isthe safety and protection of the citizenry. Revolving door “justice” is a HUGE violation of that responsibility, and it shirks it to us. It is completely out of control. My wife doesn’t want to be a “gun toting mama”, and I don’t want her to be responsible to securely maintain a gun if she expects (and deserves) protection by those responsible to provide it. She can’t even find her phone, keys, and purse when she needs to leave the house. A gun? Forget it.
Thank you for “watching out” for women. Safety is a plus in great and good training.

You go girl, we all have the right to carry and protect ourselves, family and others in need.

Donna Anthony is an excellent instructor and well worth the money spent to take a course or two from her.
