It seems to me that your wife may not be fully comfortable with you carrying or with guns in general. Why did you need to watch out? His head-butting your pistol would not make it discharge, would not hurt you, would not hurt anyone but him, and if he keeps butting his head against something that hurts him, I think he may have other problems that need addressed.

I think either your or her hand in front of it to catch his head and keep him from crying (I'm guessing he's small) but I can't think of too many other reasons she would tell you to "watch out" as if there was some danger. Note as well that she may not be aware of this discomfort herself. Just something to keep in the back of your mind as you notice things that happen when you two're out or when you're talking and the subject of your gun(s) comes up. (I don't think you should bring it up, but be aware if she does.)

Blessings,
Bill

Aw heck, just shoot her next time. She will get the point.

You can tell I am not married, can't you?

My mother-inlaw constantly rags on me about having a gun in the house. Yet she keeps an unloaded .38 in her nightstand, to "scare" intruders.

Do me a favor and ask her what happens when the bad guy doesn't get "scared". drugs, their own weapon, no care for life, it does happen for multiple reasons.

On the bright side, now your wife has to apologize to you in some way.

I am giong to say this and home I don't get shot by all the INGO ladies.

You have to remember that many, not all, but many females would tell you to "watch out" for things that many males would not. This coiuld simply be a knee jerk reaction to what she saw happening.

Now, yes it would be better to get her to the point where it is a complete non-issue, but I don't have a lot of room to talk since my wife is much the same.

She has said something once to people that didn't know. It was her family which I didn't really care about. Most of them knew anyways.

The whole thing may have to do with her understanding of guns and how they even work. She may have thought that would make the gun discharge. Has she ever been to the range with you? Has she ever fired a gun herself? A simple explanation of the workings of a gun might be all she needs.
