My in-laws are questionably anti-gun, so my wife did not grow up around them like I did. She has always been a bit uncomfortable around guns for this reason. We have talked a lot about guns, and why I prefer to carry, and she has become a lot more comfortable at this point. The benefit I had from her growing up away from guns, is that I got to teach her the proper safety and handling of firearms, as opposed to trying to re-teach bad habits. She actually went and got her CHL at the same time I did, mainly in case she ever needs to hold it for me for some reason. She has only carried a handful of times so far, but I expect her to carry more often now that campus carry is about to be legal.

Now that she is comfortable around pistols, we bought an AR-15. That has started a new era of explanations at the house, which we are still going through now. Of course, a lot of that is, "You bought what?!" lol
