I never would have thought I'd be reading an article in Elle but this article was linked in on another gun news story and it's actually a pretty good one. The author is a convert (former California non-gunner now living in Montana) and she walks through her whole mental process from being hysterically afraid of having a real physical gun in the same room to owning and carrying a Ruger LCR.
