We were going to drive from N. Tx. to our house in Colorado and I mentioned the bear problem and that I should take the .45 with me just in case. Her immediate reaction was "not in my car you don't". I gave it some time and the next time I mentioned it she said "well, it's up to you" and we all know that means I shouldn't take it. Well, I took it because indeed it was up to me.
In Colorado we've had some problems with a neighbor dumping stuff all over their property and making the place a mess.
He came in one day with a trailer of construction debris and started dumping it on his property but right next to ours.
My GF went to speak with him and I said I'd go along too. She had a few words with him and nothing untoward occurred.
When we got back into the house she hugged me and said that it was comforting for her to have me there in case there was trouble. At this point she felt the bulge (yes the gun you perverts) and was irritated that I had indeed brought it with us.
A little while later she came to me and said " I'm glad you had the gun. If there had been trouble I know that you would have handled it well. In fact, it kind of turns me on." hmmm. We now have more of a "don't ask, don't tell policy". She doesn't ask if I'm carrying and I don't show it off to her.
