So I was talking to wife about shooting sports and just generally trying to get her interested and the conversation went something like this:
Me:So do you want to go to the range with me?
Wife:No, I dont like guns and I am not interested in them at all.
Me: Well, I would like you to have a basic familiarity with them just in case something happens while I am not at home.
Wife:To use a gun don't you have to be kinda far away from the person? (note, she asked while sitting in my lap)
Me: No, I could shoot you from right here...(at this point I realized that my foot had fully inserted itself into my mouth)
Wife: gee...that REALLY makes me want to learn now...
So, how does one recover from this?
