The wifey received a personal invite to the FBI's Citizen Academy this Fall. I don't know a lot about it, except it takes place once a year, there were 15 other people invited, and it's held at the Bureau's training facility here in Houston. As a bonus, the invitees get to bring their spouses to the Personal Weapons Training portion of the 8 week class, at the FBI's gun range. Emoticon  4951

@KTownTexican: She works for the DOJ, and knows a bunch of people at the FBI(along with every other agency here). They like her, I guess?!..I think she's alright too. Emoticon

That would be totally fun.
 
@Stealth83: I thought so too! But the real benefit(I'm hoping anyway) will be my wife changing her view on guns. She's not against them really, but they make her nervous. I've been around them most of my life, but since she was skittish, I sold most of mine before we got married. I still get to shoot from time to time, but it's not something we talk about without an argument, nor am I allowed to teach our girls...Yet! I think that's how this whole thing came about?! We've had a few conversations in front of some of her colleagues about it, and they share my view and are comfortable around firearms. She said this morning that she thinks this will be good for her, and is hoping it eases her anxiety about guns. This gives me hope, and I'm very proud of her for taking an openminded approach.

@BBQguy: My wife was skittish about guns when we dated, but I had no intention of giving them up, so I gave her a safety session on guns.  After she went shooting with me, she now likes to go to the range.  My Ruger .22 Competition pistol with a red dot sight has become "hers".  She will shoot bigger guns but prefers the .22

@Retired_Engineer: That's awesome! I've never pushed the issue very hard. As everyone knows, marriage comes with sacrifice and  compromise. Guns were not high on my "I have to keep this!" list, so it wasn't hard for me. In IL, it was getting too expensive(and difficult) to hunt anyway, so I had already given that up. They collected dust, except for a few weekends spent shooting skeet at my uncles place. As far as handguns, it just wasn't a priority with me. That's changed quite a bit since we've lived here. Not that it's dangerous around here or anything...But I feel a need to protect my family, especially since we travel quite a bit...AND, I did have my wallet taken at gunpoint shortly after coming here. It happened at a restaurant, just off of Bellaire Blvd. That powerless feeling is not something I'd wish on anyone, let alone someone I love.
