I feel for you no matter the decision. I will X3 not letting her fire anything that might hurt her. Even though my dad is a Marine and still works his own business @ 81 when I took him shooting last year I put the wife's pad on his shoulder.

He scoffed but I insisted with him shooting a Garand for the first time in over 50 years. 3 days after I asked to see his shoulder and it was not pretty even with the pad after 32 rounds from the Garand, 20 from the Fal and 20 from the PSL.

I will only add about the safe. The first time she has issues opening it under the influence she will leave the gun out of it from that point on.
