Don't try to change her mind about you carrying. If she's not forcing you to leave your gun at home or trying to get you to get rid of your weapons, leave it alone. No need to argue over it. You do your thing and if you ever have to protect yourself or her, you'll be prepared.
This is good advice. Most people who are anti-gun, have simply not been around weapons and are afraid due to unfamiliarity. My wife was a little apprehensive when I first started carrying, though she never protested or asked me not to. I just carried and made it part of my routine and in very short order, it became normal. Once your wife starts to become comfortable with the idea of your carrying a gun, you might try inviting her to the range. As long as you present it as a fun time that you can both spend together, she will probably agree. The key is to not try and force her to come around to your way of thinking. She has her opinions and you have yours and the harder you push, the more likely she is to resist, it is just human nature.
