She carries just about everywhere she goes now. Carries around a sub-compact 45 Glock. My friends get pissed because she can out shoot a few of them. I work 24 hours shifts and feel much better knowing she can hold her own at home if something ever happened.

yes, these days there is just too much crime. I travel several times a year for a couple of weeks (work), and I would prefer wife to be protected when left alone at home for these longer periods. well we're probably going to check a few handguns later this week together with her girlfriend who wants to get something too. Wife's girlfriend used to have 9mm S&W years ago but doesn't have that gun anymore (she has all the accessories left though such as good holster etc plus ammo). She lives alone - one more good reason to get another one. I'm hoping to take both of them to range again this week...as long as the ammo arrives. If not, we can go offroading instead, it's not too hot weather yet but temps are getting high gradually.
