About a dozen years ago I talked Mrs R into attending an intro defense and shooting class..the catch was I had to go too.
She shot very well and will go to the range about one-two times per year and enjoys the experience.
The class was OK but the reason it was so good is that now I could easily explain 'why' we needed the additional 3 handguns I've purchased since then
and those we may 'need' in the future.
