My wife and her friends who all conceal carry offered her some ideas and they would have had no issue with walking away if it was not wanted. Simply the dealer and boyfriend were dead set on convincing her to buy a smaller gun then what she was wanting. My wife had asked me if it would be ok to invite them to join us at the range. That maybe she would have found a gun she did like or at least get a better idea of what to expect in the different size fir arms. She really liked the 9mm and 40 SW handguns, we forced nothing on her. We wanted to just give her a chance to get hands on with several different guns to help her decide and not feel pressured into buying one gun over the other. Nothing was forced on her and her boyfriend was invited to join us as well, but he had made other plans for the day he said.
Again if you want to intervene whip out the cash, otherwise it is none of your business. If the girl wanted any gun she could have bought it, as long as she was not a felon, and had the money. All the above is excuses. If she wanted to make a decision on her own her BF or the dealer was not stopping her. Abusive spouses, IMO, do not buy their spouse a gun.
At the end of the day she went home unarmed. Bravo!
