God created women to be nurturers. Pistols were created by man to kill men. It is just too strongly hard wired in some women to overcome this gap. I don't think those that can have the personal protection mindset should put them down or expect them to change.
So, since we are now into 2008, and many men have become the nuturers (despite "hardwiring") in the family, does that mean that women who cannot overcome this gap are not being "progressive" enough? It's actually interesting to see that some feminists are vehemently pro-gun, as it serves as an equalizer.

Maybe that's an argument to take to your significant other and say, "Honey, I don't think you are being progressive enough. Women's rights have come a long way, and why can't you just accept the fact that I can't protect you all the time?"

Just food for thought ;-)

Reasoning was not successful so I packed anyway. We did discuss it often, and I focused on our responsibility to protect our boys and each other as best we could.

The turning point was when I actually pulled the Springfield to ward off a crazy man when we were stuck in traffic.

Since that day she has never again questioned anything regarding firearms, and was the one most adamant about her CHL when we returnd to Texas from Kalifornia.

It truly is a shame what must happen sometimes to convince someone that their beliefs are wrong.

Unfortunately the media has equated guns and carrying guns with crime and death, and people have a stigma against them because of this. You're right, it's a shame that sometimes it requires personal experience to convince someone that their beliefs are wrong. But you know what, at the end of the day you now have a very strong advocate who will say, "I used to be totally against CHL but let me tell you what happened that changed my mind completely..."
