I just set up my wife's L-1 appointment. She's agreed that it would be safer if she carried. I'm glad that she's decided to do it and it's a load off of my mind. Our city is experiencing a rash of armed robberies and burglaries....not to mention we had 8-9 murders last year. I'm going to take her out later this week and let her pick out the gun that she feels most comfortable with.....then it's off to the range for lessons.
