Happy it turned out the way it did. I used to live in an apartment when I first got married. We had a sliding glass door on the ground level. My wife was asleep on the couch in the living room and I was at work. She awoke to scruffy looking man looking at her thorugh the glass door. She grabbed the phone and ran in the bedroom and locked the door and called me and teh ploice. I told her to grab the AR out of the closet. After that she is alot more gun friendly and now has claimed my Taurus Pt92 AR as her go to gun and is loving shooting and training. It sometimes takes a close call to wake some up. Secure your door and get something for home defense and take the wife shooting. Good training is key so try adn find a good course in your area.
