My wife is at a CCW class as I type this. She is in the Army reserves and earned "expert" level with both rifle and sidearm at her last qualifications, so being around guns isn't a problem, nor is my carrying. However, unless the instructor says something to change her mind, she doesn't plan to carry on a daily basis.
She couldn't really decide on what to carry, so I suggested the Bersa BP9CC since it isn't quite as miserable to practice with as most of the pocket pistols she'd initially had in mind. (That, along with the fact that I wouldn't object to carrying it myself.)
