OT: How to meet girls who like guns?

[NMshooter]

Definitely not easy, in my experience.

Of course there are all the other things I like to do, like hiking and camping, that get in the way as well.

So I am taking a vacation from looking, and it is kinda nice.

Patience seems mandatory for such a search, much like so many other things in life.

Well, $5000- $10,000 may seem like a lot to pay for a wedding and to oay the parents if you marry a lady from Vietnam, Laos, Thailand, Indonesia, or Cambodia. But, how much do people pay for weddings in the USA. Usually much more. Also, I paid $26,000 for a new truck. it will probably last me, if I am lucky 200,000 miles or 10 years. So a wife and wedding does not even cost half that-and it is much more important and is for life.

Of course, the ring thing always gets me. WHAT $1000 for a diamond ring, that is outrageous and a waste of money!!!! But, $2000 for a custom Ed Brown 1911, well that is OK !!!

OT, I have 2 secretaries, both pretty hot looking (was asked recently a t a family reunion if I had a girlfriend and when I was getting married-I replied WHY??? I have a secretary That really pissed off some of my hefer relatives!!). Anyway, took them both out to one of my Police Stations once and had them learn all the intimate details of an AK. They were kind of shy with guns at first, but now open to them. My one secretary is great, she organizes all my gun, hunting, and Bowhunting magazines in seperate piles for me. She even helped me pick out 2 new guns. But, she says I have too many guns. She said I should only have 2 of each (2 rifles, 2 pistols. etc...) I said I need 2 of each type (2 1911s, 2 lever action, 2 shotguns O/U, 2 HK P7s, etc...

SamlautRanger,

$4000, huh? Can I use a credit card? Is there a payment plan? Can you send pictures?


Hellbore, while I'm in a similar situation as you (and just try finding a nice Jewish girl who likes guns-Oyyyy!), I have a surefire lady attractant-a lever-action carbine. It's a Rossi .357. Every time I'm at the range, women come over to look at it. Of course, I offer to let them shoot it.. .357 rounds have a little kick, and .38s are like shooting a 22.

Much better than any cologne, let me tell you!

 

[q102josh]

hehe yeah Antibubba i hear ya man... im jewish too bro

 

[dodging230grainers]

I'm Jewish as well. Quite surprising to see quite a few jewish gun owners post on gun forums
Don't know why people seem to think jews are against guns...not true at all..alot of jews I know in my city own guns..of course i live in Houston, Texas so that helps

Find a girl who's an anti-gunner, and convert her

Worked for me...my wife of 23 years was a former dope smoking, FM listening, liberal from California. Now she's as conservative as me, can put a round in a fleas ass at 200 meters, and asks me when I'm going to buy the next case of ammo so she can shoot more. I'm just lucky I guess.

 

[spacemanspiff]

dodginggrainers, its simply because the Jews we see in mainstream are so liberal. (seinfeld, jon steward, etc).

we need to either convert them or get more media attention to the gun-loving Jews.

 

[dodging230grainers]

You can't convert some of them because they are anti-gun liberals...no different than the non jewish ones...same ignorant stubborn people.
Jews I would think would be more inclined to own guns, considering we are a minority and have been persecuted since the beginning of time..

 

[wasrjoe]

Why would you want a girl when you have guns?

 

[Stevie-Ray]

My wife of almost 30 years, absolutely detests the fact that guns.....................are expensive. Well, I can live with that. Obviously so can she.


The women that like guns are out there, but there are way more that don't really LIKE them, but rather are unaffected by them either way.

 

[Mauserguy]

In my experience, out here in California, many girls think it is illegal, and are intrigued by the opportunity to go shooting. Take 'em to the range, and they will love it. If they don't like guns (the concept of firearms), they will invariably like shooting and will not be hostile to your sport. Don't hide your hobby, involve the girls in it. You will both have fun.

[Wags]

My wife doesn't hunt or really care for firearms for the record. But a good wife will support you and your hobby's if she can have her hobby's also. Where would your wife rather have to go and find you, in a bar full of women and strangers or knowing your at the range shooting or hunting? If you said a bar it ain't goin to work out anyway......

And whats the hurry to marry at 26 yrs old? Only reason I married was because I said to myself, "Why should I be happy the rest of my life."

What about Israeli girls? I know Israeli doesn't equal Jewish, but some of them are teh Hawtness!

anti-gun liberals

Damn, I hate this phrase. It is an oxymoron. How did liberal become a bad word in a group of people who claim to love liberty? You can be an Anti-gun Leftist, but you aren't really liberal if you are anti 2a.

 

[Hellbore]

LOL... I like Jewish girls for some reason. Every Jewish girl I have personally known has been really cool. I'm not Jewish BTW. I must be wierd.

Another Vote for Converting One's Spouse

My wife was very afraid of guns when I met her. It was not that she was actively anti-Second Amendment, but rather that she was generally ignorant and unfamiliar with firearms.

Not only is she an enthusiastic gun owner today (obviously with her own firearms, which I liberally borrow), she also understands the economics of gun ownership well. What do I mean? When I recently mentioned that perhaps I should sell some guns I do not use much, she told me that I should never sell guns since they would be much more expensive to purchase again later on.

My recommendation to a single guy looking for a "gun" gal is to simply look for one who is compatible in character traits (sense of humor and what not), not necessarily in specific interests. Then as the relationship deepens, one can build activities and interests together, through compromises if necessary (for example, in my case, I had to agree to take dancing lessons and study cooking with my wife in return for her agreeing to train in Jiu-Jitsu and Kali).

Sure, some of my friends may knock me for having participated in "unmanly" activities, but then I ask how many of them have wives who shoot, do Jiu-Jitsu and Kali, and thus can work out with me, and there is nothing but silence (also, as my wife often points out, the "unmanly" skills would come in handy in impressing other women should I part ways with her ).

Girls & Guns?

Aside from the interesting challenge of CONVERTING (educating?) an anti-gun female, my own multi-marriage experiences, and those of good friends, leads me to these conclusions:

1. Never get seriously involved -- let alone married to -- a lass with whom you're Politically Incompatible. If you're a gun/knife/flashlight/motorcycle nut, that means you must avoid all big-city/"blue-state" urban-liberal-pacifist babes -- no matter how magnificent their charms. Period. Life's too short.

2. With 50% of marriages eventually headed to divorce, that means it's likely you'll lose half your guns in the property settlement. It also means Her lawyer, knowing you're a "weapons nut", will use it against you in any settlement disputes, etc. I guarantee you this will not be a good time to also discover the liberal/anti-gun biases infesting the judiciary, either. It's cold, tactical thinking, but do you really want to go up against an angry anti-gun (ex) wife with a similar-bent lawyer and divorce judge? If so, bend over right now before you see the last sunshine.

3. With the present state of our P.C. driven laws, nearly ANY domestic dispute (via marriage or live-in) may not only beget police intervention, but also Temp. Restraining Orders, etc., which will probably confiscate your guns... AND impair your ability to pass a NICS check to buy new guns.

4. If you initially encounter serious friction with Her over this, it'll undoubtedly grow and magnify other problems. Compromise? How? that's like trying to "compromise" with the Brady/Million Mom gang, and THAT leads to incremental erosion of your 2A rights. You won't be able to look at yourself in the mirror if you sell-out on this.

I salute you guys who've converted your ladies. You beat the odds. However, for those dudes contemplating wedded bliss, I urge a Pre-Nuptial Agreement addressing the gun issue. Get her to agree that you must/can/will own and use them, and get her to waive any future rights to them, or to get them confiscated when the rough water appears downstream, etc. If she balks, drop-kick the wench into the arms of some sensitive/progressive/blah-blah lib-snots like Alan Alda or Michael Moore. In the long run, there's too many women out there who could float your boat AND accept your pro-gun lifestyle.

Besides, the Anti-gunners punish us everyway they can. Accordingly, let's punish them -- by shunning their females and sentencing them to a lifetime of Chardonnay-sipping boredom with butt-kissing girlie-men. Plus, when those anti-gun babes eventually get divorced at age 35-40, most of 'em will be a lot hungrier to find -- and please -- a "different" (e.g., Real) kind of guy.

 

[RevDisk]

So... am I the only guy who's never had a problem finding a woman that's ok with guns? I feel like a minority here. The 'trick' is to have some mutually compadible interests and personality. Show interest or simply support her hobbies and interests. Looking at only one aspect of a person you want to date is not a good idea in my experience.

Answer this question mentally. If you want a lady to unquestionly support your gun interest, can you spend 45 minutes shopping with said lady without grumbling, looking at watch every few minutes or continously complaining? If not, re-think your priorities.

What about Israeli girls? I know Israeli doesn't equal Jewish, but some of them are teh Hawtness!

I once dated a nice IDF girl. Be careful as she will likely be able to outshoot you.

 

[kayak bum]

I initially asked my current girlfriend out in part due to the NRA life member sticker on her car; I figured it was a good indicator.

Horses!!

Find a horse farm and learn how to ride. These days horse farms are usually owned and operated by women. They all have eyes for a guy who rides and if you're new they are more than happy to help you with any questions etc. Translation: Opportunities to strike up conversation. From what I've seen there are very few (sometimes NO) men hanging around and to boot most of the ladys are in great shape from all that farm work. And usually they're not the squeamish type either. You shouldn't have too many problems finding one or so that won't freak out at the sight of a gun. You might find one that can outshoot and out-wrestle you though...

I know one that tosses a bale of hay with the best of them and she's quite the hottie.

Blackjack and Hookers " cheeper in the long run"

 

[Zach S]

Most of the girls I've dated were antis, some hated them (although they werent antis), some had no opinion. Even though they didnt have an opinion, I think the number of guns I own (around a dozen) made them a little nervous, I suspect my tommygun more than all the others (combined).

The weird thing is that I live in Western NC, how do I keep hooking up with antis?

I pretty much said the hell with it. With the BS I put up with at work and at home, not to mention the BS that comes with most of the relationships I get into, I've got to the point where I like the solitude.

-watch out for those horse chicks! My sister is big time into horses and eventing and as an immature teenager in the late 90s I was drug to many horse shows with my family. I can tell you right now that dating a horse girl is EXPENSIVE! After seeing what some of those girls put their boyfriends through, I'm stayin' away.

Now a nice little cowgirl to go help me ride out and check the cows... That's a different story!

"How to meet girls who like guns?"

Yep, volunteer at a prison.

 

[entropy]

Hellbore, you may be weird, but I like Jewish girls , too, and I am not. I dated two, one liked guns, and wanted to move to a kibbutz, the other didn't. I would liked to have moved to Israel with her, but was unwilling to give up my US citizenship. (That and I was 18 at the time.)

(OF course, I'm married now, so what kind of girls I like are a moot point. )

When I worked at a trap range in my teens, I met many girls who liked guns. In a roundabout way it's how I met my wife. Her cousin was working at a trap shoot as a scorer, and I dated her a couple times, but still stayed in touch as friends. (Which we still are.) When I went over to her house one time, I met my future wife.
My wife wasn't into guns when we started dating, but a little gentle persuasion got her shooting a .22 pistol, then my .357 with wadcutters, then full .357's, then on to the .44Mag! I'd created a monster! She really doesn't shoot much, once in a while is fine for her. I know she can if needed, and that's what's important. (She won't hunt, which is fine by me. My stepmom hunts, and I think my Dad would've liked the escape that deer hunting provides most guys. .)
