Went into Manchester last week as the wife had an hour long massage scheduled and I wanted to take the little one to the Amoskeag Fishways Education Center before they closed up shop for good. I drop wife off at 3:00 and head to the education center. I show up at 4:04 to pick her up and text that I am outside, no wife. 20 minutes goes by, shoot her another text/call. Still no wife.
I travel for work, so we have "Find My Friends" set up on our phones, so she can know if/when I am coming home on a given night. I pull it up and while the GPS pings me to my exact spot in the lot, it shows her phone in the row of cars behind me somewhere. With the woman in Boston getting taken outside of a club, and the kidnapping in the Mall of NH parking lot a few months back, my mind went right to the worst, and I was ready to walk into the spa to ask if she had left yet and if they saw her get into a car with someone.
At this point, she shot me a text saying she was paying and that the masseuse thought she was scheduled for a 90 minute instead of a 60 minute, so she went over. A huge sigh of relief was followed by a feeling that we need to have a talk about her "self defense" strategy. She has mentioned that she isn't against carrying, but isn't a "gun person" and would want to take a course to become more familiar with handguns, a request I am totally on board with.
We are in the Southwestern part of the state. Sig was at the top of the list, but their pricing is a little cost prohibitive at the moment (5 month old). Defensive Strategies in Goffstown came up, and I like that their ladies intro class includes both classroom and range time.
Thoughts? Who have you used in the past?
