She loves the fact that when were out and about I am CC. As I note I work in education, so I make it a point to take other fence sitting friends out to the range when I can. Nothing makes me more proud than when they join our ranks.

Thanks for the advice folks.
Heh, I thought about adding "but she's female so that's redundant" but we all know there are lots of guys like Pajama Boy and other Obamabots that suffer the same conditions but are allegedly male ...Quote:

Needless to say guns came up, been around them her whole life.. knows how to shoot.. doesn't think anyone should need to carry one.. blah blah blah.. things went WAAAAYYY downhill fast after that. Which really sucks..because she was actually pretty cool.. She wasn't liberal either, which left me dumbfounded.
Apparently my distrust of the world and the people in it, the want to defend myself and those around me should the need arise.. just put a stop to it all.
I will never pretend to understand women.
My first and second wives really aren't into guns but they don't have a problem with me being an enthusiast.
My first wife did kind of think I was a little crazy or paranoid at first but when violent convicts escaped from the nearby prison and were last seen heading into our neighborhood I think she was much more understanding. Hell, she even took comfort knowing I was armed.
Guess it takes a personal experience that strikes a small amount of fear into a person before they really understand. Unfortunately, the majority of people will never have a personal experience where being armed would make them feel safer so they just won't get it.
Get rid of her asap!
