“A man wielding a rifle and two handguns was shot at a Walmart in Pennsylvania, authorities said.”
If a man was wearing a turban and entering Walmart heavily armed... given the opportunity my wife would likely do her duty with the piece concealed in her holster purse and then wander off during the confusion. Of course her dad was a combat veteran in WWII and Korea and a drill sergeant during Vietnam. He was the meanest SOB you could possibly imagine and taught her well.
Sounds like your wife is well worth having—and must be if you thought her worth the trouble of going through your father-in-law to get her.
If it truly was wielding; ("to hold a weapon or tool and look as if you are going to use it") as opposed to just carrying it, I guess there would be reason for concern.
Unless it was one of those anti-gunners that was told to call 911 anytime they saw anyone with a gun.
