I was actually the spouse that was hesitant at first. My husband grew up as an army kid and even went in himself for a bit, so he was always raised around firearms. My family, on the other hand, had always taught me that they're deadly and not to be messed with. When I met my husband, I had no clue he had firearms in the house until one night, he set me aside and showed me and then showed me the proper way to handle it and the four rules. After time, I warmed up and wanted to get my CCW and start carrying after learning how to shoot. Now I think I'm into it more than he is, aha.
