The dreaded “It’s the gun or me” gauntlet...

[snubbyfan]

Just gotta find the right woman.
One day my wife asked me, "Are any of these guns loaded?"
Figuring I thwarted her I replied, "Nope they're all unloaded with the ammo in another room."
She replied, "Then what good are they if none of them are loaded?"
Yup, got me a good one.

Wow, dead thread reborn.

I started reading without looking at the dates of the posts at first. Then I saw Sipowitz, BarbC, and Joni Lynn - it was like old home week.

I don't and never have demand anything from my wife of over 45 years and she doesn't me .. everything is mutually agreed up on .. she knew I had weapons before we were married and didn't expect me to get rid of them just because she was now in my life !!
when conceal carry was approved in Illinois I told her I was thinking of acquiring mine .. after a few months and several home invasions in the area she asked if I was still thinking about it to stop thinking and do it .. she isn't interested in getting hers but wants to feel protected .. several times she has asked if I was armed when we are out not to badger me but to feel secure in the knowledge that I'm armed ..

Probably the best post in this entire Zombie Thread.

...when I got married I owned one gun...a Remington Wing Master 12 gauge...my dear farm girl wife says "don't you think we need a few more?"...it was "Katy Bar the Door"...we got more alright...lots more...and we had them all...until the safe fell out of the canoe while I was doing a GPS search for the Titanic...

Has anyone ever had this thrown in their face?

Not with anyone that's still around...

When I was fixing to get married again I found out my intended hag a gun. Ok cool, let's see it.
Sterling .22. Deal breaker, until I found out it was a gift from her Grandfather when she headed off to college.
Yeah, me and him had words.

My wife was given some advise by her mother ," DO not ever think about changing a person after you marry them" you accept them for what they are if you love them . If not move on ,Our relation ship lasted 55 years +. She passed on the same advise to our 3 daughters ,@ took her advise and are still married, 1 did not and has paid dearly for it.It does work both ways though.

I would never throw away my life to be with somebody who'd rather see one or both of us slaughtered rather than defend ourselves with a firearm.

I would no more marry such a woman than I'd marry one with "88" tattooed on her forehead.

she has her "likes" and i have mine.....we've been together 50 years....the subject has never come up.....

I keep wondering how BarbC made out - anybody know?

i don't know where you guys find these people.
i guess i know a few pro gun people. i don't know any antis.
most everyone i know is neutral about guns, including liberals.
i know hunters, but they don't seem pro gun either. to them a gun is a tool.

i open carry n nobody cares.

Barb is doing fine. She's happy. A friend and I went to a gun show with her last last year then lunch. She's great.

For me it was Trap shooting she left after 21 yrs of marriage. Now my wife of 20 yrs come October shoots handguns with me and she has a CPL life is good.

Glad to hear that - thanks for the feedback.

Years ago when things went really bad with my son's mother, she demanded that I sell my "ridiculous Ferrari", which I owned several years before I met her, and give her half the money. I remember my reply as if it was yesterday. "I'll sell the car for a dollar, and give you 50 cents. That twice what you're worth, you two bit (lady of the evening)". If anyone doesn't know the exact word I used, I'll give you a hint. It rhymes with door.

Wives can be a problem. I recently bought a Ruger LCP. When I brought it home my wife insisted that I buy her one too.

Yes, it's all about control. Relationship ? Sounds more like a servant/master or serf/lord relationship. Speaking from the vantage point of a more or less confirmed single, I have seen too many guys (and gals) find they were nothing but an ATM and a bank account, a maidservant and a plow horse. I saw a letter in Dear Abby, a man who said he'd always been the provider, paid his kids way through college-no student debt-paid for everything else, now his wife was quacking because he wanted to buy a car and it's "our"
money.
Plenty of fish in the sea.

Someone told me that a woman marries a man hoping he'll change and a man marries a woman hoping she won't.
