I was raised around guns and had a rimfire from the age of 10. My grandpa and dad taught me respect and proper use of firearms.
My wife, on the other hand, had limited exposure to firearms. While dating, she resisted shooting with me and always was fearful of firearms. In most cases, people fear what they are not familiar with.
I encouraged my wife to take a firearms concealed weapons course which she did very well with. She now has her own revolver and practices with me at the range. Many gun owners are encouraged to keep guns locked away in safes or inaccessible in case of an emergency. As empty nesters, my wife now encourages me to have a pistol close at hand in case of an emergency such as home invasion.
With our personal safety at an all time high risk, I hope that more families will take gun safety courses and become familiar with the use of firearms. Lose the fear of guns and learn to respect them.
