The revolver is in a locked purse as a safety precaution for your children, but the revolver can be discharged while in the locked purse? This is unusual to me but I dont carry in a purse. I conceal carry my various semi autos chambered with safety off in a holster. Non of which can be discharged while holstered. Is there an alternative carry for your wife? I've often seen children and toddlers rummage through a purse when within reach.
