I haven't had that come up about firearms in a relationship before, usually because the vetting process (isn't that what the pols call it?) lets me know what to expect before anything goes far enough to develop into something serious (although after the obligatory 3 dates rule, mind you... wouldn't want to cut some things in the vetting process too short).

I have had 2 people in my seakayaking group say that they would never paddle with anyone they knew carried a gun. Which was sort of interesting when I clued one of them in that she had been doing so for at least 2 years and it wasn't just a couple of us and that most who did so were women. She decided to continue going with us. The other one I didn't care about anyway, so I have respected their wishes and curtailed the invitations.
