A few years ago, I was married to an intellectually brilliant 2nd grade school teacher (now deceased), who had never even held a gun. Our rural house had been burglarized while at work, and we discovered her beloved Yorkie roaming loose in the house, instead of being pinned up in the utility room. We lost a TV and two long guns (wall-hangers used for bait to draw burglars away from my favorite handguns and shotgun, which were well-hidden). A year later, the BATF called and said they recovered my two guns, but had held them for evidence in a trial of some druggies who attempted to cross the Mexican border with about 100 guns (I had engraved my DL number under the stocks.) My wife said after the burglary, "I would shoot anyone who hurt my dog." I said, "but you don't know how to shoot a gun." She said, "Teach me." After I let her shoot my HK P7, she bought one of her own. Women are like that about their pets and children. Later on, she kept her P7 in the nightstand, and bought a stainless S&W snub nose to keep in her glove compartment. She was a crack shot with the P7.
