Hello

I'd like to say I appreciate reading through your answers.

My girlfriend & I are moving to a neighborhood with a higher crime rate than our current neighborhood for my new job. I plan on buying either a remington 870 or a 9mm handgun, primarily for home defense. I could also hunt with the 870, we're in Illinois so a shotgun is basically the only hunting gun that is allowed.

I have prior experience of handling shotguns and rifles, but not pistols.

The thing is she feels very unsafe about having a gun in the house. She acts as if her mind is made up, but she is gradually (slowly) warming up to the idea of going together to a shooting range.

What would you recommend to help convince a significant other that having a gun in your home is not a bad thing, when it seems their mind is made up?

Our safety and well-being is my top priority.

Thank you very much.

So if you sell Outback and Guiness, what's your "normal" accent? What part of where did you grow up?
