Slowly easing Girlfriend into the reason for CCW

[Snowy Rivers]

I will weigh in here

Pacer, good for you.

The issue with many women is the emossional thing.

For those who do not know (Have not read my Bio) I am a 58 YO woman.
Not your basic fem for sure. 6 foot tall and real scrappy.

Now with the intro over, women for the most part are creatures that make all their decisions based on their emossions not like guys do it.

Getting the idea across to most women about such things as carrying guns can take a little finesse.

You work the emossional angle, and do so with care, so as not to scare them away right off.

If you are dealing with a little female creature thats fallen prey to the News media rhetoric about guns, you have an uphill battle.

Keep your advances easy but steady, and things will progress well (hopefully)

Show her such things as the numbers of rapes, beatings and such that happen to women.

If you can get her into a good class for gals on CCW, preferably one thats put on by a couple gals that can address female concerns.

Most women are turned off by some grizzled old "Sarge" thats giving a class and really has zero idea of what makes us gals tick.

Now I have a lot different idea about life in general, as I was the son my father never got, yeah, well I still know about womens issues and the damned female emossional rollercoaster.

Once you convince Missy that carrying a gun is a good way to fly, you will likely be needing to buy her one too.

Here at the shop, we get loads of little cuties that come in wanting training and to get their CCW.

Let her gentlly discover that a CCW is not just Macho Guy thing, but instead something for anyone who wants to participate in their own wellfare and safety.

Let her hear the truth, that any good cop will honestly speak, that they can't usually be at the scene when you need them, but instead in so many cases only get to show up and clean up the aftermath.

Not knowing your GF's background I can't do more than this offering.
Be careful, go slow and the way to gain ground is to use the route that will always get through, the emossions.

Don't get too gung ho though, cause if she starts feeling that your being manipulative, then all bets are off.

Not as likely that a scrappy 6 footer is gonna be hastled near as much as a little petite lady.

Pontential rapists dont want to get their A$$ handed to them in pieces.

Be truthful and honest, always.

Good luck.

I don't think it would be a wise decision on my part to get the permit without telling her and then carry the gun without her knowledge.

It is nice that you are concerned with her opinions and feelings.

That should be a two way street or this is NOT an equitable relationship.

So by all means get your carry permit...openly. Invite her to the class or to the range.

It is a dangerous world and we all have to take responsibility for our own safety and our loved ones. Being as how she falls into the later category, logic dictates that she should appreciate your doing so.

She sounds like a reasonable person so stereotypes notwithstanding, she should get it.

Went back and reread several of the posts over again.

C'Mon guys, lose the macho Rhetoric and all that crap.

You can't treat a woman that way, "Taint gonna happen" the relationship will fall apart real soon, even if guns are not in the picture.

As an instructor, I find myself working with many couples and it seems that my job also turns into being a "counselor" too. I am not getting paid enough to do that stuff.

When your out with your buddies, you can act like a neanderthal if you like, you do that stuff around Missy and they are not impressed at all.

Missy has the same intelect and mental abilities as you guys do. She may not be able to lift as much or hold back the recoil of the 50 smith mag but she can think through isues just the same.

The feelings of being slighted or hurt come out far different, and if your on the receiving end of that, your on a bridge too far.

Just some thoughts from inside a nasty old ladies head.

Girls find guns attractive.

1. Workout a lot
2. Get a fake cigarette
3. Walk around topless with the gun tucked into belt
4. Wear levies
5. Have the cigarette in mouth while pretending not to notice it.
6. The gun has to look good, girls are aesthetic.
7. The gun has to be 357+ (.500 is ideal)
8. Only clean it in an attractive state (polishing, not dismantled)

It works. Its like wearing 1000 proof pheromone, just be prepared. The AXE commercials become real.

---edit---
longer barrel, the better.


Follow the above steps and she will want a CCW to defend her private property (you) lol


---edit 2---
I will cite some sources:

1. Every 80s movie
2. 007
3. personal experience and testimonials (by a British chick no less)

It is CRITICAL that you slouch when you sit. I can not stress that enough.

You need to be uninterested, but spot-on at the range. then act like its meh when you bulls-eye with an entire cylinder/clip.

AND ALWAYS WEAR OLD SPICE. unless you want to fork it for some Ralph Lauren, but if you go that far you may as well get the jeans too.

Okay guys, sorry it took awhile to respond again. I have had some conversations within the past week or so with my girlfriend. And long story short, I am finding that I may have other issues with her than just the CCW.

On the plus side she is now completely okay with me getting my permit, as soon as the tax refund comes in . I think that at first she didn't realize how important guns were to me, or how serious I was about wanting to keep us safe.

Part of the issue is that her only knowledge of firearm related laws and issues comes from tv....with the majority of her information on guns coming from the hourly crime dramas.

Long story short, there are other issues we have to work out, but thankfully this is no longer one of them.

Thank you all very much for your time and advice .
