[GPIA7R]

I'm looking to buying my first gun soon, but I'm a bit worried about the family reaction. I think I can handle that... but my girlfriend is a bit questionable about it, and just asks the questions "Why?", "What do you need that for?", and she obviously doesn't like the idea.

While I would like to be a CC, (and maybe graduate to an OC in the future), I think hiding it from everyone would be hard in that respect.

What sorts of things can I say to make this less of a big deal to her?

Thanks much
