Hi All
Question for you. I have wanted to buy a weapon for quite awhile but my wife well she is just sort of against firearms. She was raised abroad in a country that does not allow weapons so that is just how she was raised.
While I want to respect her views and wishes I have sort of noticed a very very slight change lately. Because the direction this county is going she has sort of been talking more about politics which is rare for her and during one of these discussions I mentioned I had thought about getting a weapon and she didn't say anything one way or the other be it for or against. That alone sort of surprised me as when we discussed in past she always was against period.
With this slight change what would you all recommend for me to keep her views changing for the positive? I don't want to push but with this change in how she reacts I sense a chance of maybe changing her opinion on this.
Any thoughts of how to proceed without scaring her back to the anti gun position?
EDIT:
Have seen a number of posts below suggesting getting her to a firing range and firing this or that. I am NOT trying to get her to carry as that she will never do that I can tell you it just isn't her plain and simple! Nothing I can say or do will change that fact and I would not try to. This is about me convincing her to let me carry and go to the range and such.
So thanks for the advice of getting her out but it isn't about her in that sense!
