If your wife is like most, such a decision has to be processed with time and consideration to the point that carrying all the time is almost an emotional response rather than a rational one. Based on your statement, you already seem to be doing things appropriate to build this response. Might be best to keep it low key and always emphasize safety (in using firearms, carrying firearms, personal awareness and safety, home security, etc...) when oppotunities arise in conversation. Most women I know are fiercely protective of their loved ones and this can be quite an advantage when discussions arise, as long as safety is stressed.i'll keep working on her - anyone have any techniques they'd care to share regarding convincing a wife to carry all the time? lol
Best of luck.
