I just think that my wife has lead a sheltered life. I have had experiences that make me more focused on security.

When I was a kid my house was robbed 4 times. Once while we were sleeping.

When I was in High School and working I was robbed at gunpoint. Lucky for me no one was hurt. Looking back I was in perfect tactical position to take the person out.

When I was in College I pulled a gun on a person (shotgun) to prevent the abduction of a woman at knifepoint. Lucky for me I did not have to use it. I ab sure alot of that had to do with the face that he was 6 feet away and I was holding a double barreled coachgun.

SHe knows incidents that have happened in the area. 2 of her students were held up at the movies (this caused me to get my permit).

She is also not anti gun. Her father has guns. SHe grew up in a household that hunts and has gone hunting with me.

I just think that she has lead a sheltered life and has never HAD to think about personal security. I like some of the ideas above and will try some.

I surprised she didn't say.."I didn't ask what time it is"

I'm lucky. My wife says she feels very safe because I have my gun(s) on me.
Especially while walking through parking lots at night.

I thought that same thing after I said it.......LOL

My Wife wonders why I carry. And why I want her to learn to shoot and carry.

The other night we were leaving a movie and she stated that she was scared.

I said. "Don't worry I will protect you."
Her response?.....""Why....I can run away faster than you can"
I told her "I was carrying"
Her response?......"It does not help us if it is in the car"....I was proud that after being with me all night that she could not tell.
I told her "I have it on me"
She says....."Where?"
I respond "4 O'clock"....
I am proud and expecting her to feel better but her response is........wait for it........"That does not make me feel any better"

Am I the only one married to someone that just does not get the point that personal safety is a PERSONAL issue?
