Hey guys just wanted to say first of all that this website is awesome. Love reading the stories and seeing how cool everyone is.
To get to the point, I'm trying to get my girlfriend to learn how to operate my firearms in case of an emergency. We live in Gaston County, NC, I always open carry my sd9ve (first handgun I have personally owned, I am 20 and went through all the legal steps to obtain my firearm.) but I know I can not always be home to protect her.
Every time I try to get her to go out and shoot with me, she refuses. She says that my guns are too powerful for her. I know my 870 Tactical may be too much for her as she is a slim framed woman and it does have some smack to it with the 3" shells. But she also says that my 9mm is too powerful, which I know isn't. She also does want to obtain her CCP and purchase the Sig p938 when she turns 21 this November.
She says that she won't shoot anything other than that firearm until she gets it. I can't obtain that pistol right now but I want her to learn how to operate a firearm in case she has to. I have access to many different firearms that my parents and my older brother owns, from a .32 revolver, .380 Taurus, 9mm .40 caliber and .45 caliber handguns. How can I get her to learn to operate a handgun and also a long gun if I can't get her to shoot any one of them? It's really frustrating seeing everyone's self defense stories and knowing that she wouldn't use a firearms even if someone broke into our house.
Thanks guys and sorry for dragging it out like that.
