You had no way of knowing. Crack open a bottle of Johnnie Walker Black Label and let someone else do the worrying for a while.

I dated a girl years ago whose father was killed by a gun (neither self inflicted nor accidental). She had a deep-seated fear of all guns and anything related to them until the day she went to the shooting range and shot one herself. She's still not a huge fan of guns, but, according to her, it was one of the best coping mechanisms she had tried over the course of 10 years.

If I were in your shoes, I would have preferred to know before the crying on the shoulder part, too. But I wouldn't assume anything you did was for the worst. Probably quite the opposite.
You're probably right, and nothing will come of it, I just have one of those nagging feelings in the back of my head.

I'm trying to track her down, (she lives in another state) and like I said before, I hardly know the woman.

Which brings me to my next dilemma: what to say to her..."Hi, nice seeing you last weekend. You're not planning to blow your head off are you?"

Hmm. Needs a little polishing up I think...

Odd situation for sure. I'm just a little confused why she'd bring a new gun she knew nothing about to a camp out.... Especially if her husband may have died via gun fire (accidental or otherwise). It's just weird.

I'm sure she wont do anything negative with her new knowledge. You're a good man for listening to her... Sometimes that's all anyone wants.

Just be honest. After she shared such an emotional time with you, you're concerned about her and want to know she's OK....and ask if there is anything you (and your wife......remember to include that, because in her state it's easy to confuse feelings) can do for her.

It beats the hell out of NOT knowing

Trust me man....my best friend died with me Sept 5th and I don't go more than 3 days without checkin on his widow. I couldn't live with myself knowing I left her hangin.
