[QUOTE="XPerties, post: 1914607, member: 20097"] My wife was the same way about a year and half ago. This is what worked for me: I first introduced her to guns (she had never been around them having lived in NJ) after we moved here back in June 2011. After a few weeks of it being around I took her to the range. She shot it a few times and then wanted to leave after 10 mins or so. A few weeks later I just started reading her stories of new events locally every so often. Not several in one day but maybe 1 or 2 a week or just bring up something I had heard on the new even though it might have been 10 years old. Then I found this youtube channel and started to watch them when she was around. She is always noisy so after a few videos she would over hear and get involved. These videos are very down to earth. [url]http://www.youtube.com/user/rc4401[/url] (any with Crimestrike in title) As this was going on I was taking many classes at carrylegal and became friends with a few of the instructors on facebook. Although woman may not seem to pay attention to what we do they do in their own way. During this time she would go to the range and we would stay longer and longer. About 6-8 months into this she wanted her own gun with a little "you should just have one at home when I'm not around" push from me. After each one of my classes she would ask questions or I would just offer info that happened. I finally took her to her CCW class and told her "I know you don't want to carry and Im ok with that but this class offers basic info and it will be fun.". I even went with her so she wasn't lonely. After meeting Jeremiah and Jeremy at carrylegal they, which they always do with any clients, treated her with care. They knew her stance on personal protection and asked her questions that she had no answer for. Made her think in a passive way. After the class was over she wanted to take their self defense class so we both signed up. I think it takes time, passive behavior on your part and have someone of authority to make them think. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
