My wife recently had a similar change of views. We recently had a rash of assaults and robberies in our mall parking lot. One night, I looked at her as we were about to go to the mall and said, "I'm packing my little Kel-Tec tonight." She gave me a look, and I told her, "You have to admit, all the stuff happening at the mall has you a little concerned too." She looked at me and started to object, but then, she actually said, "Yeah, you're right." Unfortunately, she said it in a very defeated tone. We've been talking about it even more lately and she now understands my view of protecting her and the kids. She doesn't think she'll ever be comfortable enough to carry, but now, she's ok when I carry. She's concerned the kids will pick up some paranoid vibe from me. So I work as hard as I can to keep it low key and help her be comfortable with it. It's working out. I wish you the best of luck too!
