my wife is somewhat in the same situation - she's not fond of guns but she has to at the very minimum understand them since they are part of my dna.
it's a bit of a struggle to get her to go to the range to practice.
was a big struggle to get her to take her first NRA safety course (back in '99), and she wouldn't sign up for her CCW after that course.
so i had to dangle a bunch of carrots for her to take the course again and do all the work to get the CCW process rolling.
By all means, have her get a CCW, as you might have something your collection that I like.if i croak ... and she doesn't have a pistol permit, the police will come in and take my guns away, thereby putting my firearms investment at considerable risk. if she has the CCW, she can dispose of the firearms at her leisure (as in THR fire sale, lol).
the other is that we've had a string of recent armed robberies in our otherwise quiet neighborhood, and that had me concerned about home safety. i figured this was a good time for my wife to get a refresher course on safe handling of firearm and lawful use of deadly force. I figured if she took the course a SECOND time, she might as well get the permit.
You're right, she's not ready to carry (and I'm not going to force it on her at all). But I would like her to have the choice if circumstances require.
at the end of all this, there's no HARM in my wife getting a CCW.
LOL. Yeah it is funny. But being married myself, you'll think of all sorts of ways to make both sides of an issue happy!Am I the only one that sees that bribery as kind of funny? I've never been married but...?
Not my decision. She says she wants to learn to use an automatic before taking the class. MeThinks she's stalling.pax said:Good grief. If she loves revolvers, why not have her shoot a revolver?
My wife was the same way, but she's changed over the years. I think it helps that two of her siblings are LEOs who support CCW (in Los Angeles, no less) - and they also are now encouraging her to take the class. You gotta loved armed sisters-in-law.30 cal slob said:she's not fond of guns but she has to at the very minimum understand them since they are part of my dna.
Final choice: step back and find someone else (preferably another woman) who knows how to rack a slide, who hasn't already had a go at showing her how to do it. It's possible that just getting a fresh set of hands & ideas into the mix will fix the problem for her.
