Yeah, in hind site I regretted asking her to do it - that was a selfish call on my part, but it wasn't a big deal. She probably would have been fine with it otherwise, but she was annoyed I asked her to do it more because of the reason - ie she was inconvenienced because I was carrying, and she believes there was no reason I should have been carrying.Not sure I would have made my wife do it, I might have taken the risk with the gun, just being extra careful not to bend over (squat, kneel, etc), little things seem to turn into BIG things when she was preggo last year at the fair.

Re: Texas State Fair 2012
I took a day off of work and went to the State Fair on Friday. When I got to the wander, I showed him my CHL and asked to see the supervisor, and he said "he's the guy in the hat." Right as he said that, the supervisor wondered behind the gates. So, I bought tickets for the family, went through the gates to chase the supervisor, and he was no where to be found. In the interest of following rules, I went up to the LEO and showed him my CHL, which he looked at and said "have a nice day."
My wife said "what's to keep anyone from waltzing in without getting wanded" ... evidently nothing.
A quick aside: We let the kid (3.5) choose two rides, and one he chose was some kind of pirate maze, including a rocky bridge and slides. While he was tall enough to do it himself, the ticket-taker thought he may get stuck, and said one of us could go with him for free. I was concerned about exposing myself climbing over the obstacles, so I asked my pregnant wife if she could do it. She wasn't happy and almost lost her Fletchers Corny Dog on the rocky bridge, but it turned out all right. I felt really bad, but in boots, jeans, and an untucked polo, I wasn't sure how far I could push it.
My wife tolerates my carrying, but certainly doesn't see the need for it. I've had the ol' 'do you wear a seatbelt every day' talk with her, but she still rolls her eyes when she sees me strapping up, especially when we're in the house when playing with the kid. Any words of wisdom from you veteran carriers on how to get the better half's buy-in?
