Is your spouse progun, antigun, or dont care

[Jeffreii]

Assuming you like/love guns, and you are married/living with opposite sex

Supportive/Pro Gun:

Your spouse not only supports you and your guns and related stuff, she/he likes/loves them too. "Guns are great, that back deck project will just have to wait till next month that guns going to be sold by tomorrow!"


Neutral Supportive: (Progun)

Your spouse supports the Second Amendment, but isn't interested in guns. "If you or others want guns go ahead and have them, but im not interested in them."

Neutral Unsupportive: (Antigun)

Your spouse is against the Second Amendment, but doesn't care or give you a hard time about have guns. "Guns are the problem! Go ahead and have them I don't care, but you're only adding to the problem."


UnSupportive:

Your spouse is anti-gun and gives you a hard time about your guns and related stuff. "Guns are vicious, we need to focus on getting that back deck project finished, not those disgusting guns, I'm sorry! No guns!"



I'm just wondering as it seems a lot of people here are husbands and the wife doesn't support them, but then again those are the ones that would let you know about it. Sorry if some of the options were too confusing or too many but I'm curious for 'both sides' and how many people have a spouse that is supportive or not.

Hey neat poll! Although I shoot more frequently and take marksmanship a bit more seriously, my husband is pretty intensely pro-gun. He tends to be more involved in the political side of things than I am. Between the two or us, we cover all the bases of rtkba. A perfect team. He'll probably be along in the morning to weigh in, since he's also on THR.

 

[Jedi-Brian]

My wife is most certainly in the Pro-Gun camp... About 6 months ago, after putting something into our safe, she said to me "We need to buy more guns to fill up that safe."

I married a WINNER!

 

[ArfinGreebly]

Pro Gun

Wife is pro-gun and has two of her own.

Encourages me to train the kids, helped get pistol for our son. Wants me to train oldest daughter and two grandkids.

I'd say she's on board.

She was kind of neutral. Okay for me, okay for training the kids, but kind of "meh" with regard to her own involvement.

There was a watershed moment, though.

A large group of angry "youths" marching past your front door, fists raised, shouting slogans in a foreign language, brandishing a foreign flag can have a profound effect on your perception of the necessities of self defense.​

"Honey, we're not covered for anything like that, are we?"

Now I have an ammo budget and a mandate -- her mandate -- to acquire a reliable, rugged, light rifle (carbine) for each member of the family.

I'd say she's at least enlightened with regard to the need for the tools.

I probably should have voted single, but I live with a friend of mine that is pretty neutral supportive about carrying.

 

[Nitrogen]

MY wife is between neutral supportive and pro- gun supportive. She accepts guns, rejects anti-gun-ism, but isn't really "into" them.

If she needs a hammer, she knows how to use one, but she won't go set up a block of wood with 50 nails in it, and practice hammering nails. I also don't need to collect hammers.

That's how she puts it.

 

[mekender]

my wife doesnt bitch about me owning or shooting... but shes adamant about not liking guns... she does see the light about the necessity of owning and carrying though

 

[Bazooka Joe71]

I'm a boyfriend and my girlfriend is pro-gun supportive.

 

[darkknight]

im single and sane

 

[FireArmFan]

single right now so i don't have to worry about it. my last girlfriend was fine with guns and fine with hunting (even went hunting with her dad once) but not really super interested in guns at all. But at least she didn't mind me having them as a hobby. Hopefully my next one is pro gun, or at least doesn't care either way.

 

[mjrodney]

My bride is a range rat just like me.

Luv that woman!

 

[English Bob]

I'm a husband and my wife is pro-gun supportive!


In fact she loves 'em as much as I do, she often gives me a good run for my money in competions.

 

[Kind of Blued]

Maybe a designation should have been made to show if forumites married their spouses AFTER or BEFORE discovering their feelings on the topic... May be interesting.

 

[DirksterG30]

My wife is very pro-gun; she has 2 pistols of her own, and she bought me a Mossberg 500 a few years ago as a birthday present.

 

[Technosavant]

Neutral Supportive.

She has never said one negative thing about my firearm hobby. I have even taken her shooting, but she shows no interest in going again or getting into it. I can buy guns here and there (I try to keep it under control, and succeed for the most part), and she doesn't act disapprovingly. She knows I carry, sees me putting the gun on even, and says nothing either way. She's always been neutrally supportive (maybe a touch more supportive than that, but right in that region), even before we married.

 

[Mr White]

I'm married and my wife is not anti-gun, just anti-me-spending-money-on-guns-and-gun-stuff.

But she did buy me a set of .32 Win dies and a bunch of primers for Christmas, so I guess she ain't all that bad.

 

[Hiaboo]

I don't see a 'dating' option here She might as well be my spouse, we've been together for 5+ years. What is beteween Neutral supportative and pro-gun? She will go shooting with me, go to gun shops and tell me what she likes but beyond that she doesn't partake in gun forums or discuss it with other people so? As for voting/politicial activiites, her interests and concerns comes first even if it benefital or non benefital to the 2A. However she will not vote for someone who is anti much like obama for example.

 

[NG VI]

my girlfriend is a criminal justice major, plans to become a cop, and thinks that only govment employees should be allowed to have guns. she doesn't give me a hard time about mine, and even told me last week that for my birthday she'll help me pay for a new one... P2kSK methinks.
the only reason for her view on govguns i can think of is that she really must believe that the gov can be everywhere at once. we were talking about HD shooting as it relates to home invasion and she said something along the lines of, you don't know their whole story, blah blah blah, basically saying that some dude breaking into my apartment at night while we're home has more of a right to security in property and life than anyone else. sometimes i want to throw her in the Kennebec... but then i remember that she is supportive of me and mine, so it's ok. her weird logic will eventually be corrected, hopefully without her being harmed first.

 

[Breakdaddy]

My lady is very anti gun and unsupportive. She has given up her efforts to disarm me (it aint gonna happen, folks) and is now content to make her best effort to keep me from acquiring new firearms instead of relieving me of my existing firearms.

 

[Hoplophile]

Single, but if you don't understand "shall not be infringed", you're probably not someone I want to date

 

[weisse52]

My wife is very Pro-gun. Made sure before we married. If you "other" is not pro/neutral pro, you will never be happy with this aspect of your life.

 

[TCB in TN]

My wife is not afraid of guns, but really doesn't care a thing for them. She is MORE than OK with me owning and carrying, really likes the fact that I can protect my family but has only recently even shot with me. She does like my Ruger MK II .22 pistol, will shoot it a little, and when I am gone she does keep it by the bed, but she also lets me buy what I want, "within reason" financially.

 

[redneckrepairs]

I have a wife who could be loosely called pro gun , she has her ccw , and appropriates brownings and other " better " guns from my gun tradings as a tax lol

 

[Zundfolge]

My wife is pro gun but anti spending money on them

 

[ZeSpectre]

I seriously doubt my wife will ever be truly pro-gun, or enjoy shooting, but she has moved from gun-scared to gun-understanding (with a brief stop at truely gun-neutral). I consider it a major triumph overall that she doesn't even bat an eye if I'm walking around the house with a firearm on my hip these days.

Of course from dating to now she's also had the misfortune to experience a full blown stalker, and a couple of VERY aggressive wal-mart parking lot shambler types. I suspect that has had some impact on her overall world view as well.

Of course when (rarely) she'll come to the range with me to practice what does she choose? My most expensive SIG...of course!
