Re: Defining moments - what made you decide to carry?

Copied directly from my "Introduce yourself" post:
People mistake me for a linebacker (though I never played football) or a cop (must be the bald head); that might contribute to the fact that I've never been mugged nor thrown or "received" a punch in my life. I never really had any desire to own a gun until I got married. I hadn't given much thought to my responsibility for my own safety, but as soon as I brought that lovely and wonderful woman into my house and life, I started considering that something might happen that would result in me failing to protect her. And that scares me more than my own life being taken. Got educated and purchased the aforementioned G30; never did apply for a CHL in our previous may-issue state but now that I'm here I'm working on it!
Now if I can just find a way to take baby steps towards making my wife comfortable with firearms... maybe someday she can start carrying, too! Will post shortly in the Ladies General section eliciting suggestions, feel free to stop by if you've got some!
