It's the Glock thingy. See my current wife has a wicked temper, but being raised in the PRM, she doesn't know the difference between a Glock and a cuckoo clock, so the most dangerous thing she can wield is her sharpened tongue; so far I've survived that. If she knew the difference between an automatic and a revolver, I don't think I'd be here today.

I do remember one time, for whatever reason, she wanted to argue about some (what seemed to me) trivial thing. I agreed, she was right, I was wrong, pointed conceded. That wasn't good enough for her, she persisted. Her eyes were burning red, orange light was glowing from around the holes where her hair came out of her head. She beat ineffectively on my chest with her tiny little fists, spurtering out, "What do you say to that! What do you say to that!" Having already conceded point, match and game, what more could I say? I placed my hands gently on her shoulders, looked deeply into her eyes and spoke, "Shall I compare thee to a Summer's day; Thou art more temperate and more fair..." In a stunning comeback, game to Lonesome! Of course, if she knew how to handle firearms, I wouldn't be here to tell you this story. (Alternatively, if she knew how to handle firearms, I might have been more careful about the kind of scraps that I got into in the first place...)

In all seriousness, if you have any doubt about her using a weapon in a domestic argument, it's time to leave

From your account, it seems like she was angry about something else that she wasn't comfortable articulating, rather than the "official" subject of the argument

My Glock and willingness to use it, kept my now ex husband from ever trying to hit me. He hit plenty of other things like walls, and pick up trucks, even trees. Since I had the ability and the will to respond with excessive force I was never his punching bag. I would pity the woman he's with now but she's bigger than him and I've heard she a has a pretty mean right punch!!!!
