...I hope when they corner him, he resists violently...and is himself shot...

The common denominator you hear in these reports time after time is "I never would have thought that would have happened here..."
Carry always.

...agree with your sigline...I never go out the door to the truck without packin'...much less challenge a thief...sorry they did...

I saw that, very sad story.

And welcome to the forum, IT Tech

Thanks RHenriksen - I enjoy this Forum on a Daily Basis, this happened too close to my home, for comfort. Locked & Loaded. Wife thinks I'm Paranoid... I call it Prepared.

My Prayers go out to the Family.

It's frustrating when those closest to you scorn your feelings &heart preferences to be prepared. I'm thankful that my wide kept such feelings to herself... and eventually wound up with a CHL & carries daily! I'd suggest keeping a calm, steady demeanor about the issue, and go on w your daily life w. EDC without making too big a deal about it. Avoiding a mall ninja vibe will eventually (I hope) start to discredit her 'paranoid' representation.

I guess you could always start sneering at her every time she fastens her seat belt, and calling her paranoid, too

...mine mocked me and sneered...till we started having bad things in our neighborhood...then she was glad I was between her and them...last year, she got her CHL...don't kow what it'll take for her to buy her gun...but it'll have to be HER idea...no more sneering, though...prying open a closed mind takes time...sometimes lots of it...till then, I'll be the bad guy...I don't mind at all...

I Love Her & My Family Very Much and try to instill in her to always be aware of her surroundings etc... But, I'm not going to force the issue of CC.

My wife has her CHL, but won't carry. She went through the course with me, and she owns a few weapons herself. But she still doesn't get it.

Yesterday morning, I was getting dressed. We had a big day planned in San Antonio, but had a few things to finish around the house and in Boerne first. As I was putting on my King Tuck she said "You don't need that yet, we're not going to San Antonio till later" I told her I always carry. (she knows this) And she said, "Do you think you're going to get mugged in Boerne?" I told her that if I thought that I wouldn't go. But since I can't predict where trouble would be, I'd rather be prepared for it. She rolled her eyes and laughed, telling me I was paranoid. There have been a few times where the situation gets a little uncomfortable, that I've noticed my wife either putting the back of her hand where she knows I carry, or leaning against me to check to see if she can feel it. So I know she feels more comfortable with it there when the situation gets uncomfortable. But she doesn't grasp the fact that we can't predict with the situation gets hairy yet.

It makes me so sad to hear spouses treating their S.O. that way :-(

Just jioned this forum on advise from CHL instructor today (took class today). The guy that was shot is one of my coworkers at the plant. Very close to home. I hate to see anyone have to go through this. It just strikes harder when it is someone close that you know. He works in my same department and his office is only 6 doors down from mine. Went to see him yesterday and prognosis is very good so far. His wife is OK and back on her feet with crutches. Please keep George and family in your prayers.

Keep calling her that, and she might share some other feelings with you.
