Your bride, although not there yet (getting her own handgun + CHL),
has the experience and attitude that seems to be leading her down
the yellow brick road to her own gun + her own CHL.

You may wish to bring up the DPS demographics stats links for the 2 most recent years,
as this could bump her perceptions in a more enlightening direction.

2008 - 18% of the thousands of Texas CHL's were issued to women.
2009 -22% of the thousands of Texas CHL's were issued to women.
Then look up the stats for your zip code, multiply times 18 % and 22%, and she
may be amazed at how many women in Georgetown got their plastic
in just the last 2 reported years.

Even though she works at a school, she may keep the gun in her vehicle
during teaching hours, legally, as long as she has a CHL. Of course,
absolute silence on her gun ownership to school colleagues must be
the policy. Loose lips sink ships.

As soon as she's off work, she can carry on body or in purse.
If she thinks your gun's caliber is too big, get her a mouse gun.
At the minimum, a mouse gun is better than no gun.
Over time she may be persuaded to carry someting more substantial.

Good luck in your efforts to help the bride realize that self defense can
be part of being a prepared adult. If you have/intend to have children,
she'd defend their lives with baby seats/seat belts, right? Guns are another
tool with which to protect your family.
