Negligent is a legal term.
Declaring her negligent would be very difficult to get a jury to go along with. It is certainly possible.
I don't think it is legal to leave your gun in your purse and walk away. If she had a concealed carry permit, she is required to carry it, at least around here. It can be in a locked car, locked suitcase/briefcase, locked box in a purse left in the cart. It is not legal in an unlocked car, unlocked briefcase left behind at your desk, or loose in an unlocked purse in a shopping cart.
Here's some good questions before deciding to carry in your purse rather than body holster.
