coincidentally I was browsing the site yesterday while my girlfriend was kinda of chillen next to me. (I'll be quick here). GF is young, and has never been around guns or literally ever even had protection cross her mind. to the point where the last time I went to her house, she didn't even have the front door locked.

well her and I had just talked about this stuff last week for essentially the first time. everything from situational awareness, to locking your car doors in the parking lot, basically starting from scratch. If it means anything to you bro, she happened to read this thread with me,, and is now VERY interested in getting up to speed on personal safety, home protection etc. Shes coming into a situation where I have a son, who she will be, at least in part, responsible for at times, and this thread pushed her into action.

thank you for sharing. and remember there's silver linings in there. learning from small examples like this, (your wife, my GF etc) is what prevents something really bad from happening in the future. Thanks!
