Sorry to hear about your fiancee's issue at the range. Unfortunately, some guys are just real jerks and get their jollies by intimidating new shooters, especially the ladies. Please try to convince her that she just happened to find the bad apple!nitrogen wrote: I'm having the same issue with my fiancee. She shoots better than I do, but for some reason she's "nervous" about taking the test, and afraid she'd do "something stupid". The last time she went shooting, the guy at the range thought it'd be funny to give her a 45LC instead of the .45ACP she wanted, and she's convinced that she can't shoot anymore.
Still working on it, though. She's fascinated that I carry all the time now, and is constantly asking if I have "Clarice" with me.
She's also a teacher, and she's worried that someone will "find out" that she's got a CHL, and it'll affect her job adversely. Also working on THAT.
As far as teaching goes - my daughter is a first year teacher (8th grade ESL) with a CHL. I think that actually got her hired! The principal was quite impressed. Of course, she has to leave her firearm in her car, but they know that and are OK with it. Sometimes, when she has a bad day at school, I have to remind her that's why they don't allow guns in the classroom.
