I hope he recovers from this and understands that the both of you being armed is better than just one of you. What happens if you get injured and can't cover his back anymore? He will need to be covering yours. I feel strangely sad that they stole those things...really bums me out.

Just so you know, I know his skills and have NO doubt that he would be able to handle anything. Right now, I just make sure I have an extra to "share". And yes, we do all react differently. This was several years ago--they took jewelry from me that I haven't replaced. And the weirdest thing was they used pillowcases that I had made to match a quilt I had made to carry stuff off with--and I can't bring myself to replace them. They also took all of my perfume(??) and it took awhile before I replaced any of it. We are pretty sure that we know of at least one person involved in it--a former employee. She was never charged with that-but she did spend time in prison for embezzlement(not enough in my opinion). One reason we think she was involved---HIS wedding ring and USMC ring were stolen-but my wedding rings weren't.

Am I correct in thinking hubby has since purchased a nice gun safe?

May I suggest stir fry for dinner?

Actually it is funny--he hasn't replaced any of them! And right now has no interest in having a gun anymore. I'M the one who is now shooting! They took all of his guns-and all of his badges, duty belt, etc. He used to be a reserve deputy.

And nope--neither one of us cooked--Johnny Carinos!

military==explains a lot! Hubby was USMC--I was USN so I know about that!! Don't get me wrong--we don't "ask"--it is more of just a matter of keeping each other informed. It's just that when I first read your post, it came across to me that she didn't know ANYthing about it! That was what i questioned! Before our house was burglerized, I have no idea how MANY guns he had in the top of the closet--but I knew they were there, etc.

H knows that I have taken the classes, sent everything in, but he doesn't know(like I do!) exactly where it stands in the process!

I know what you mean about finding out things over time. I consider myself a pretty good cook--but I can't stir fry worth a flip--and guess what the only thing he cooks is--stirfry!

Let me see if I understood this right. You got your CHL without ever discussing it with your wife? I guess I don't understand that logic. You see, I am of the opinion that if there is a gun in the house, then everyone in the house needs to know about it, how to handle it and how to make it safe. And, since today is my husband & I's 36th anniversary---well, he tells me everything and vice versa. Bet you got a surprise when she told you that you need more guns!! You do realize that at LEAST one of them will be HERS--maybe more since you tried to keep a secret from her!!
