...not just because she is a great partner and an awesome Mom, which she surely is, but because she has listened and learned!
When we met, she knew I was a former cop and still carried a gun. She said..."I have never been around guns, but since you have them, I should know how to handle them safely."
That was when I knew I would marry her!
I started her off with a Smith & Wesson Model 17 4" .22lr, and she really liked it. Not long after I gave her my Smith & Wesson model 13 3" .357 (used with .38's).
Now she has a small arsenal of her own that includes, a Remington 870 12 guage, a Ruger 10/22, a Ruger 22/45, an NAA .22mag 5-shot revolver (she thought it was cute), and her own Smith & Wesson Model 10 3" .38 Special. Other than her Ruger...she doesn't like autos.
We were both glad she had the .38 a few nights ago.
I had left the house at around 9:00pm to run an errand to the other side of Phoenix. We live in Mesa, so the round rip should have lasted a couple of hours.
After I had left, she told me she had heard someone trying to open our front security gate on our porch that leads to yet another wrought iron security door at our front door.
Our rottweiler barked and growled once, but didn't bark more. But, the wife got her .38, and paddle holster and clipped it on.
I got home earlier than expected, and as I was opening the front door (making a lot of racket as always), she came to the corner of the hallway that opens into the living room, and I found myself staring into the barrel of her Model 10! (I noticed her finger was OFF the trigger)
I stopped in my tracks and asked if I had forgotten to take out the trash!
She lowered the gun when she saw it was me, and said..."Why didn't you answer me when I askled if it was you?"
I told her I didn't hear her, and she related the earlier "door rattling" incident to me.
I was so proud of her! Had I been an intruder, I would have had six Hydra Shoks in my chest!
She apologized for pointing the gun at me, but I told her she did right. She kept a cool head and was ready to act in defense of herself and our 11-month old daughter who was sleeping in her room.
She recognized a potential threat, and was ready to deal with it. She told me she didn't call the police because the dog only barked and growled once, and didn't act upset afterward.
She said she was in our bedroom when the door rattled again, and the dog "woofed". The dog met me at the door, and knowing it was me, she didn't raise hell and lower heaven as she would had someone, other than I, been there.
It turns out the door rattler was a pizza-person putting a coupon on our outer security door...the type that hang on your door handle.
I married a winner! Though I did tell her to grab the 12 guage next time!
