My response to her was that yes I planned on carrying when I am able to. She kinda laughed and made fun and said "so when you go to the store or anywhere you are taking your gun with you?" I said absolutely! But I get the feeling she is making fun and doesn't think it is necessary. What is a good way to make her realize that if you have your plastic you should carry all the time?
My wife has generally been supportive since I started carrying. There have been times she bas kind of chuckled when I put my rig on before leaving the house.
Back in August she sent me to the CVS around the corner to pick up something for her, It was about midnight so I grabbed my gun and holster and started putting it on. Once again she says " You really need that to go to CVS? Without even looking at her I just said "It's after dark". I ran the errand without event and came home.
Less than an hour and a half later that same store was robbed. While hearing the news that it happened so close to the house was disturbing, I do have to admit that I enjoyed telling her about it just a little bit
