Not anywhere that charges admission. But didn't see any no guns signs like I expected.
I got my wife's attention after letting her read American Riflemans Armed citizen reports a few times. now she agrees that you never know when and where you will need to be armed. She's starting out with Pepper Spray and then we'll work up to something a little more lethal.

Hi, I'm new here, but thought I'd add to it. I've had my CHP for about 6 months now, since I relocated from GA to VA. I just had my first wedding Anniversary with my wife. When we met, I did not carry OC or CC. I recently started carrying CC and have been purchasing a few new handguns. A few weeks ago, I took the wife with me shooting. She does not have the hand strength to operate the slide on about any semi-auto, but she loves to shoot my Ruger GP100 with 38 spl loads in it.
She shoots it SA.
A couple months ago I bought her a pretty pink container of pepper spray (breast cancer awareness packaging you know).
Well I decide since she really enjoyed shooting with me, maybe I'll take her to a NRA pistol safety class so she can (if she wants) get her permit. Plus it would help her feel more comfortable with the guns. Took her this past Saturday to the class. She did real well on the 7 yard target test. She put 6 out of 6 in center mass and 6 out of 6 in the head of the target. I was impressed.
Well,..today she went about noon to the grocery store. She gets out of her car and goes in the store. Comes back out and there is a note on her windshield from some nut saying how good she looks and that he is a (vein) pretty cute guy and he would like her to call him and that if she is married he doesn't want to cause any trouble.
He will never get a call, to say the least, but she was spooked by it and watched her 6 while she went to the drug store and then came home. Carried her pepper spray in her hand when she got out of the car.
I thought about calling him myself.
Well, I think that was probably the eye opener she needed to show her that she needs to be able to protect herself when you are not there. It sounds like you have done things the right way, not pushing her, but introducing her to handguns, and I would bet she will be applying for her concealed carry permit very soon.
Someone told me once that training a wife was like training a cat. It aint happening!
My wife has her own 357 and loves to shoot. When I first got my permit she asked me if I was being anal about carrying all the time. It wasn't until something happened at the Walmart that we always shop at that she finally stopped asking why I was carrying and started asking IF I was carrying.
Wal-Marts are becoming a CARRY REQUIRED place lately... Perhaps body armor is in order for shopping there...
Peace...

I agree with the comments about walmart. What a sh*t hole. Especially in urban areas. Are people acting more stupid, or is it just me?
