i have tried to get involved in things she loves. she is a coach and i helped her out as much as i could this past year, helping at track meets, helping her get a parade float going, all kinds of stuff. she knew nothing about basketball and i taught her everything i could and she seemed to enjoy that? she loves to cook, so i encourage her as much as i can, though it is sort of ridiculous because i benefit from her cooking. i buy her the big expensive cooking things she wants, nice cutlery, big mixers, whatever she wants. i try not to spend all the money just on myself. as far as reloading, i have laid out the cost versus savings, and it didn't go well. i haven't brought it up in a long time and probably won't for awhile, as i just got my chl and she thinks me carrying is ridiculous and asking for trouble. something else she really enjoys is going out to dinner as a family. i HATE eating out, but put on a smile and enjoy the evening. and as much as i hate gambling, i have gone on the texas treasure and to vegas to see her smile.
she has hunted, gutted animals, slaughtered pigs, grew up on a farm, its not that she is prissy or whatever you want to call it. she just sees no use for handguns. though after our discussion at dinner tonight about the future of the country, she may be seeing the light. deer rifles and shotguns are a-ok, just not handguns or target practice. i just wish she would feel comfortable enough to carry and be able to use one in self defense to protect herself and our babies. its a sick world. i gave her some pepper spray and she wouldn't practice by spraying me, or a tree or anything, and that scares me. but she has her beliefs and feelings so i don't push the issue. i'm at a loss for now...
which is not the best thing for concealment, but i ain't gonna tell her to stop touching the gun. with all the crime in our town all of a sudden, and numerous break ins on our street, she has expressed to me she is actually scared. maybe the time is drawing near to get her shooting. 
i have also not spent any money on shooting in some time and plan to keep it that way, i will just shoot my stocked ammo.
and hates the fact that i got my CHL and thinks its nothing but trouble. i would really like to share my love of shooting with her. i already got her into golf, but she ain't budging on the gun issue, its like 
when it comes up. i can't even mention i am going to the range without starting a fight. its not like i am blowing rent money on ammo either. what can i do?
