Along that line, my wife had been pretty lackadaisical about self-defense, and this situation shocker her into taking a lady beware class, learning to shoot, and getting a gun. I've already given her a basic training on using the guns we have.

This is the one thing about women I will NEVER understand.

They say they don't need to know how to shoot for self defense because they just wouldn't be able to kill someone. So basically what they're saying is that the life of some street scum thug who wants nothing more than to rape and beat them is more important than their own. Absolutely baffles me. "Well all I need is a tazer, or maybe pepper spray." So the guy who is cooked up on meth is gonna drop the second a little pepper spray hits him in the eye? There are stories of guys on hard drugs being shot over 10 times and not immediately dropping. As I said, baffling...

People always ask me too, "why do you carry everywhere if nothing has happened to you before?" Why do I need something to happen to me to find a reason to be prepared? I would basically just be applying a band aid to something that has already happened.

Sorry... rant over. Not trying to get off topic. I just know that in my home in the future, every female, be it a wife or daughter, will know how to shoot, and shoot well.

Hopefully your wife will take it seriously and not decide she doesn't need a gun in a year or two if nothing happens.

Again, glad you and your family are all ok and thank you for taking my earlier post to heart. I would hate to see an OB baller behind bars for making a tough mistake.
