This is pretty similar to my experience, except my wife already has her LTC and regularly carries when she is by herself. She was/is much more casual about it then I am. Until recently, even when she was carrying, she was very quick to "disarm" and just leave it in the car if she came across a 30.06 sign so as to quickly be able to go about her business as normal. She would get annoyed on those occasions (which was about 95% of the time) that I refused to disarm and we'd have to go somewhere else. She somehow thought it was a little silly to be "inconvenienced" by having to pick another restaurant or other place of business, when we could just disarm. Recently, with all the turmoil in the world, she has begun to come around much more to my way of thinking. She also never used to carry if we were together and was just content to let me be "the protector", but I've noticed that she now has taken to carrying even when I am.Jusme wrote: The only disagreement we had was earlier this year when more 30.06 and 30.07 signs went up, and I refused to enter a business that had posted both signs. I told her that I was not going to disarm, just to patronize a business that had competition that was more 2A friendly. She felt that I was being too paranoid, however with the recent attacks across this country, and around the world, I point out that the majority of them occur when the victims are prohibited by law from defending themselves. She has come to realize that although the odds may be small, that we will ever be in a situation that requires me to use my gun in self defense, she has begun to look for signs, has become much more SA whenever we go out, and if I am CC, she will reach over and tap my hip to make sure I have my gun, if she didn't see me put it on.
So, to make a long OP short, my wife is fully on board with LTC and is planning on getting hers soon. I don't know if she will carry daily, and will probably never OC, but I plan to support her all the way.
