Brian,

My wife was the same way. It's been a gradual thing actually. She got her permit "just in case" she wanted to carry, and hardly carried at all originally. Gradually she is getting more comfortable with it. Doesn't hurt that every day we watch the news or read the paper and someone else has been attacked or killed. So now she is carrying more and more.

Where in TX are you? We will be visiting my folks in Houston over Christmas probably.
