I took her shooting this weekend and she almost cried. I had her shooting a .380. I don't know what else to do.

Only solution now is to make her shoot while you force her at gun point. Repeatedly. Should fix the issue

My wife is not a shooter either. She doesn't say anything about me having them in the house or how many I own she just chooses not shoot them.

I have tried to get her to shoot but I don't push the issue anymore.

The kick and the loud noise. She thinks she would be more comfortable shooting outside. Which seems ridiculous to me.

Oh and there might be something about her physical stature that is causing this. I just so happen to be an expert on these kinds of dealings so ill even diagnose for free. Just email me pics of said wife. But you owe me one

Is this gonna lead to divorce?

If so, this can be filed in the category of shiz you should have worked out prior to getting hitched. If not, leave her at home next time.

Was it a nice sized 380, or one of tiny little guns everyone on here seems enamored with? Tiny guns suck to shoot. For everyone.

So is mine, but she loved her dads 22 growing up. So I'm buying one of those for her.

You started her out shooting a pocket .380? That isn't a great choice for a first time shooter. Short sight radius makes it hard to shoot and the recoil is hard to control.

Like already posted start her out with a .22.
