At some point, when you and your partner are truly comfortable about carrying, it won't even come up. You will both just treat it as if you were wearing your pants. If someone I am with asks me if I am packing, it usually tells me something they have picked up on has caused them concern. Nobody ever asks me that question as a coarse of action before going out.

Try taking your wife to the range and get her into shooting. If she believes nothing bad is going to happen to her, trying to scare her by showing her articles and what not might just make her think you have gone paranoid. Mental conditioning is a tricky thing. Most folks don't respond well if they feel they are being manipulated... nobody wants to feel like they have been coerced. Take it slow and easy and look for a way to make it her idea to carry without attempting to terrify her.
