My wife of 30 years has always been a staunch 'uninterested' when it comes to guns. If anything, leaning more than a bit towards 'tolerent anti'. Not 15 minutes ago while discussing crime rates in Chicago she interupted me to say (paraphrased) "No ... I've been listening lately, and I've been starting to see the logic in what you've been saying." Baby steps I suppose, but ....

They seem sympathetic and understanding, then they reel you in with sex and scotch...

My girlfriend went from NO GUNS IN OUR HOUSE, to I don't like guns, to it's ok if YOU get one, to I WANT ONE! I never sat her down to talk about them, I just kept pointing out crime on TV. I told her I'd like to carry and then pointed out during news stories on a crime that if they had had a gun, that wouldn't have happened... Quite frankly I think I bored her into liking guns. At the very least I desensitized her. |

My wife has gone from being borderline anti-gun at best to asking me "you're carrying, right?" when we go out, especially at night or to Minneapolis. It's amazing what some little life's experiences do to people. |

It's amazing what some little life's experiences do to people. Um... I think my wife needs to start hanging around with your ladies. Maybe it would rub off... Actually, she's gone from "NO GUNS IN OUR HOUSE" to "I don't like guns" to "it's ok if YOU get one" to "nope, still not going to the range with you." I guess the glass is half full. |

My wife Kay went from I don't like guns to picking out her own gun and take the MCPPA class with me, took some years but well worth it. "Married men; converting Antis one woman at a time!"
