Point understood. I totally believe that, with very few exceptions, every mother would fight to her last breath for her children. However, they may not be able to get the point that they could take a life as this is just alien to them. I have complete respect for them. I wish I could get all of the good guys/gals to understand that their life is far more valuable than any BG's life. Unfortunately that isn't going to happen, so I am contenting myself to just try and get people to acknowledge MY RIGHT to protect myself using firearms if I choose as my Constitutional right.

Guys, I really appreciate your situations. One other thing to take into account. It is not that women don't appreciate a logical argument but to them this is an emotional topic. God made women to nurture life not take it. That is ONE big obstacle to overcome. Some women are nurturers, some women are warriors, and some women can do both, . Some can articulate their reasons for being anti gun some the vast majority (I believe) don't understand themselves why they don't like guns. This why I really emphasize an empathy based conversation to try to get her articulate the "why" only then will she be able to change her mind if she is going to.

Like most people women don't like to be told what they should do. I know for me empathy without any judgment works the best. This is a really hard way for anybody, man or woman, to communicate. However , the benefit is that you will get to hear her issues and hopefully she will then be open to hearing your issues. I don't know your lady so I am truly guessing, but it is just possible all she needs is for you to listen, just listen, to her and then leave her alone to make the decision on her own.

As far as women shooting groups, find out where they are and give her the info and let it go at that. Perhaps you can make a point of being busy that day and time so she is free to go by her choice. Another thought is why not skeep or trap? Perhaps she might enjoy these non-personal protection shooting activities more.

74novaman,

Where are you located? Crossfire has the right approach in my opinion. If you would like to send me a PM I can make some other suggestions as well.
