Whether or not to get the "Mrs" into shooting is something we could probably debate until Hell freezes over.

My thought on the matter (from experience) to "Smith357" is "God Bless You".

My first wife could be compared with the "Tasmanian Devil" on a multitude of issues, including guns. Mrs #2 is a total opposite and actually enjoys going to the range. Although she's not too fond of the larger calibers, she's totally content with her .22. AND, she doesn't mind if a new tennant for the safe "just happens to follow me home".
