That's why it's called "DATING".Kythas wrote:So I got in a fight with my girlfriend this weekend about carrying. She can't believe that, when I told her I was getting my CHL and told her I'd be carrying a gun, I meant that I'd really be carrying a gun.
She even went so far as to say she'd rather a BG kill her or me than have me kill someone in defense of her or my life. I brought up the shootings at VA Tech and the church in Colorado and mentioned that someone with a CHL at VA Tech (if it were legal to carry on campus) could have stopped the killer and saved many lives, much as the woman in Colorado did. She actually responded with "How do you know it wasn't their time to go and that's what was meant to happen?"
Arguments of mine that "How do you know if we're ever in that situation and I'm armed, it's not HIS time to go and I was meant to stop him?" fell on deaf ears.
Has anyone else ever had this "discussion" with your significant other?
She probably isn't the one for you. Move on. There are tons of good ole country girls out there.
My wife doesn't like to go shooting at all but she doesn't understand anti-gunners at all either and is a big time supporter of the 2nd. She is the first to remind me when my NRA membership dues are due.
Perhaps it's because she was raised in Mexico where all guns are basically illegal to all citizens and yet Mexico City is one of the most dangerous places on the planet. The danger comes from both BG and the police.
I thank God everyday that I was born and live in the great state of Texas.
