My husband told me that he had simply come to understand that God had given me and our children to him and that our safety was his responsibility, not the cop's not anyone else's, his. And he was going to use all the tools he could. I listened, and thought long and hard about that discussion, then I went out and got my chl, because he wasn't always around and we had small children, so that meant our children's safety was my responsibility......

SewTexas, your husband is my brother from another mother.

My wife has only recently begun to carry her Ruger LCR .38 regularly. We attended CHL class and got our plastic together in May, 2013. She does not shy aware from firearms and is an excellent shot with her pistol and my Tanfoglio BTA90. She just did not feel like carrying regularly.

I didn't push. Just continued to set the example by carrying openly all day long, every day, everywhere. I have shared with her some of my military experiences and what I see as my current mission as a sheepdog. Her situational awareness has improved greatly. She as become accustomed to my pointing out signs and exits. We've watched the news and discussed local, national, and world events. She decided for herself to carry.

This is to be expected. If I had thought she would be otherwise, she would not have become my wife.
