I am so proud of my wife!

My wife of 15 years and the mother of our three kids is an amazing woman. Not only that she puts up with me. But she’s always full of pleasant surprises…
She had never been to a range, let alone pulled the trigger of a firearm. Not that she does not support the 2nd or has ever given me grief concerning my collection. She just wasn’t interested.
But after 9/11 something started to change. She started to ask how she could defend herself and the kids during an emergency when I am out of town. And then last fall she read Undaunted Courage by Stephen Ambrose, about the Lewis & Clark Expedition. She realized that the most important thing Lewis had along for the entire 3-year expedition into the American Wild was his rifle.
And that did it:
“I want to learn to shoot. Can you teach me?â€
I took a deep breath to avoid screaming out loud of joy and replied:
“Well, do you want to learn how to operate a weapon or do you really want to learn how to shoot?
“I want to be able to defend myself and the kids and be able to shoot a deer for food.â€
“In that case you really have to learn how to shoot properly and you will have to go to a school to learn it.â€
She than asked:
“You mean I have to go to the school in Texas you have been to before?â€
“Yes, dear. You’ll have to go Thunder Ranch.â€
And she replied: “OK, sign me upâ€
That was the end of the discussion.
So this November my wife took Urban Rife at Thunder Ranch.
I am so proud of her!

Sounds like she's a jewel to be cherished. Be proud she said "Yes" to you, and bore your children - them's good genes to have!

The responsibility for self-preservation should be taught at an early age. The frontier woman would cast balls, reload, swab out their spouse's gun while he did the fighting. If she was experienced enough of a shot, she occupied a loophole too. Somehow we've gotten very soft in the last century. Kudos to wifey for caring enough to learn how to defend herself and her family.

 

[Standing Wolf]

Good for you, your wife, and your entire family!

 

[Tracy Hightower]

I would like to say Kudos to you for having the foresight to send her to a school. Congrats to you both.

 

[Sven]

You are very fortunate.

 

[BluesBear]

Now that's what I call a keeper!

does she have a sister?

That's not a good wife, that's a great wife.

If you do not by that woman a dozen roses/a new firearm, you sir are a cad.
