Biometric gun safes and deep conceal holsters, like the 3Speed. (Link Removed)
You won't forget to close this: Gunvault SpeedVault SVB500 gun safe - Amazon.com Keep the extra key somewhere impossible to get at, and the kids can't get in unless they cut your fingers off. You'll notice if they try that.
And wearing a holster that's actually inside your pants will probably deter kids as well. Can't imagine they want to go there.
GOOD LUCK with your problem . There is only one thing i can think of that will work - - - D I V O R C E ! ! ! ! !
However, we live so far away from that type of environment that I'm not sure it'd convince her. Our community is really quite safe, and our home is located in a secluded place that is impossible for people to find even when we want them to come to our house, so we have reasonable "security through obscurity". Still, though, I dread that one freak moment when you want a CC gun and don't have one. Her answer is that those moments are statistically as likely as us winning the lottery or being struck by lightning. Still at a deadlock.

Avoid shooting her, her family, friends or pets...tips to convince wife afraid of handguns... Any thoughts or advice?
Avoid shooting her, her family, friends or pets.
That would be a deal breaker.
Does she think it's a good idea to wait until the house is burning to buy insurance? The chances of the house burning are extremely small, especially with good maintenance, etc... but they will never be zero. Ditto for keeping a fire extinguisher and a lot of other things. The risk of an attack can be very, very small where you are, but they will never be zero. And DURING that attack, the risk is 100%.
Yes, there are risks and some work involved in keeping and using self defense tools, but the alternative can be life changing, even if not always life threatening. Learning optimal situational awareness and avoidance of places, people and activities that would make her more vulnerable would be better than nothing, for sure.
I had to shoot a man to save my life 30 years ago. Here's the story, if you can get her to read it. The Man I Might Have Killed | The Price of Liberty I've written a small book about it, and will send it free to anyone who asks for it. Just read the story for that information.
I carry a gun every day, everywhere I go - even though I live in rural Wyoming and the crime rate here is very, very low. It isn't zero, however. Three times in the last 8 years I have displayed my gun, without having to draw, and three potential muggers decided that this old lady was not actually a helpless victim. I refuse to be any kind of victim.
But, in the end, it is up to her. Challenge her with the truth, the real RISK factors, and then leave her alone to make up her own mind. That's really about all anyone can do.
I need to find more local stories of self defense, if I can, and share them with her.
