I've shown her armed citizen columns...she's read Combat Handguns, etc...i got her a Walther P22 which she keeps loaded...but only when i'm not around...when i ask her why...it's b/c 'you're here'...that's great but, is a 9mm and a .22 better than just a 9mm?
I'm trying to get her to take the gun out more and just handle it to be familiar with the controls...it's like pulling teeth. I told she keeps it loaded for home defense right (she has no CHL) so i tell her to get the gun and unload it (in front of me) so i can show her a technique i'm talking about...
To her credit, she is safe, she is very safe while handling guns, so she unloads it in front of me and OOOPS...no round in the chamber...just kind of look at her with a smirk on my fast...the embarrassing 'oops thought it was fully loaded'.
Now hearing posts about home invasions i want her to be ready, especially if i'm not there, she only has a .22, has not practiced fast mag changes (she has one spare mag that came with the gun), and doesn't get to the range a lot...(i think it's more peace of mind for her).
anyway...some input would be great...no caliber debates please...she's comfortable with the .22 and until she gets more practice, that's what SHE wants to stay w/ b/c she's comfortable with it.
Any things to be thinking about that would...'wake her up' so to speak.
I'm not paranoid about a home invasion, i just want her to be prepared.
Thanks in advance,
DB
