As we were about to order, the waiter told us about what happened at lunch. They had someone in there that was caseing that they think was going to rob the place. After the waiter left, she asked me if I had a gun on me. To which I told her yes, and it did not make her upset. I am not sure what changed her mind, but just little steps. I will work on being able to carry something bigger. But for now it is a start.

This was a perfect scenario. The threat was just enough to get her thinking.

You're going to need to find out what her reasons are for thinking this way. Once you understand this, you can more reasonably approach her.
There are many articles about people being attacked with and without firearms; the outcomes are usually quite different.

As for her "not letting you" carry, you need to remember that it's your choice. I'm sure this may be a pick-your-battles issue for you, as it is with many.

For awhile, my husband didn't want me to carry unless I was traveling. I remember us preparing to go somewhere, and he told me I needed to go back to the bedroom and put the gun away. I said, "Make me," and proceeded to the truck. We went wherever it was we were going, and that was the end of that.
There are many things that I will give on, but I decided that this wasn't one. In this case, I feel (and felt at the time) that carrying was a wise choice, and I would do it. Over time, he warmed up to the idea. Meeting Charles, Marc & a few others helped.
He recently took his CHL class.

Look at what's bothering her, and see how you should approach it. Know that it may take time.
