And there's always the Robert Heinlein quote "An armed society is a polite society..."

I have talked two different wives through that phase, the first one and I shot together on a rifle league for several years after she changed her mind, the second fired a perfect score on her CHL requalification last year.

The second, when we were dating, came to my house and one of the first things she said was, after she saw my gun cabinet, was "I don't know if I could live in a house with guns." It was a real blast, a few years later, when her ex called on my cell phone and wanted to speak to her, and I was able to tell him that we were at a gun show and she was currently "over there" buying a gun.

Gentle persuasion.
