It's tough to convince someone, even your wife, to change their mind but stay the course. There are lots of news stories where lives have been saved in home invasion or car jacking situations - I used to share these with my wife. She was never an "anti," but would not consider firing a gun. Then one Monday at 3 am three guys tried to break in our house and with her on the phone with the police 911 dispatcher, it took 20 minutes for help to arrive. By then the intruders had given up and left, and she realized that the only thing standing between us and disaster was the handgun they saw pointed at them. Now we have 2 shooters in the house and she has a CHL. There are lot's of stories like mine. As they say, when seconds count the police are only minutes away. That's not a knock on law enforcement, just that we are responsible for our own well-being and safety.
