Actually today she told me she was talking to her mom on the phone and mentioned something about me being at the gun range and her mother said "I just hate guns". My wife told her that I know how to handle a gun and I was in the Army etc... etc.. and if I wanted to carry a gun she wasn't going to stop me and that she had to pick her battles.
...pick her battles?
How does your MIL feel about motorcycles, automobiles, airplanes and backyard swimming pools? Just askin'...

I wouldn't try to prove her wrong or change her point of view. In whatever words work best for you. Tell her simply that you respect her opinions and you will continue to do anything possible to help calm the issue for her. However, you feel responsible for her and your own safety. Because you love her and you want to continue to be in this world and spend time with her, you feel you must be prepared to provide this safety.

She doesn't need to be convinced that everything is perfect. Just that some things need to be done to prepare and secure things in life. And because the world is the way it is today, and not perfect. You could/would only blame yourself if something happened and you didn't do what you could to be prepared.

-- Thats how I plan to go about it when the time comes. I know it doesn't use math to say hey look its not a big deal. But I think it gets my real point across.
So, when do you expect to get married? :smilelol5:

Cornered Cat is a treatise on guns and gun safety written by a woman for women. Good luck.
