"I'm a 50 yr. old newlywed and my wife has taken issue with me carrying when we are out shopping, dining, etc.  The only time she doesn't is when we are traveling out of town.  I've tried to explain to her that I carry because it's my God given right.  Maybe a rationale she might understand is comparing the odds of being struck by lightening while playing golf vs. being a victim of a random act of violence.  \n\nI would be considered to be foolish to play golf during a thunderstorm, why wouldn't I be considered foolish to be defenseless going to and from the local mall.  Does anyone know the odds for each situation?"
