My wife thinks that having a CHL and carrying is the stupidest thing I've ever done. There is a guy we know who somehow slipped through the cracks (kinda mentally weird) and got a CHL issued to him and she uses him as a comparison to me. Doesn't bother me a bit though. So, no respect from her for any CHL holder.

I look at self defense/CHL kinda like the lottery. A guy at work plays the lottery religiously, and has never won anything to speak of. Says his wife always nags him about playing and how he ought to just give her the money instead of throwing it away. He tells her that if he ever hits "tha big one" she'll be the first one with her hand out. I look at the whole self defense/CHL thing the same way. Just like his chances of hitting "tha big one", I'll probably never encounter a real situation to where I need to draw my weapon, but boy is my wife going to be glad I'm armed if we do encoutner one. Maybe she'd change her mind then.
