So i've gotten into shooting for about a year now and in the past year have compiled a mini arsenal (XD9sc, GP100, Witness Match, Single Six, 870, modded 10/22).
My wife is kind of anti gun and would never want to go shooting....it was a big accomplishment just to get her to let me show her to safely unload my guns. I'm thinking she doesn't want to shoot or handle guns because she's scared which i suppose i understandable if you've never done it.
I kept telling her that it wasn't safe to have guns in the house if she didn't know how to shoot them. She said she'd consider it after she finished nursing school (finished last month and starts work in Sept which means i'll have a lot more money to buy guns!) but still was unsure. My friend has a very similar situation with his wife and we finally got them to agree to try it together, I guess they feel more comfortable with the other there.
Going out to my grandpa's farm today which has a very nice steep hillside for shooting into. Taking all my guns and my friend will take his (XD9tactical, 10/22) and we'll hopefully have them enjoy shooting by the end of the day. I'll start them off teaching all the safety basics and then probably start with the Single Six and have them work their way up from there as they get comfortable.
I'll let you guys know how it goes.
