Great stories ML. I'll share with my wife who still hasn't taken the next step of actually carrying a gun with her at all times. She enjoys shooting and I keep training with her but she still doesn't feel comfortable enough having it with her.
Did you ever read the book I wrote about it? "I Am NOT A Victim" I'll send the pdf free to anyone who asks for it in email.
As for feeling comfortable... You might ask her if she was perfectly "comfortable" the first - or the 100th time she drove a car, carried a baby in her arms, lots of things. The only way to get comfortable with something so vital is to practice it, embrace it and live with it. Eventually it becomes a part of you and you don't worry about any small "discomfort." A close encounter where she needs one will probably convince her to accept the little inconvenience. If she survives, of course. If I had not carried that gun to the door... I'd be dead now. That's all the reason I need to carry.
