Been dating someone for a while...and I brought up the fact I am saving for another handgun. "Babe, no more guns" was the response.
I hate the fact our government dictates gun ownership to us...and this person knows this....are they crazy? Who in the HELL thinks I will enjoy being dictated to about it in any fasion???
Any of you older fellas had someone you were dating talk to you like this? How did you contain yourself without going off, verbally?

What cha gonna do then drop her ? If yall was to ever tie the knott I would suspect more of the same.
Run an ad in the lonely heart section of your locale news paper stating your looking for a gorgious blue eyed blond with big tits that loves guns and see what happens.
A.H
Be glad you found this out or this happened before you got married. You might want to find out exactly where she stands on the gun issue. Trust me, marriage is tough enough let alone adding the fact two people don't exactly see eye to eye on certain issues. Could spell disaster in the long run. Think it over real good my friend. lol

If its your passion, it remains your passion, and NO ONE should dictate to you otherwise. My brother has a nice 357 that is at my parents house cause his wife dont want it in their house..its now a dust collector that I can get a really good price on!!! (i knew my sister in law would come in handy for something)....
If she starts now, who knows where it will end...or even if it will....stick to your guns (no pun intended)...she accepts you 100%, or 0%, the choice is hers.
I've been married three times. My first wife died from eating poison mushrooms. My second wife died from a fractured skull. I couldn't get her to eat the mushrooms............If she's already laying down the law, it's gonna be 10 times worse when you're married. I'll send you some mushrooms.......

I have found that my wife loves to share in my hobby as well. She loves going with me and picking up some good deals. She's even become a pretty good little haggler when it comes to gun purchases.
She lets me buy guns and I let her feed her out of control Starbucks addiction!
!.Talk to her and tell her that guns are your passion.......
2.Ask her what she is passionate about.......
3.Ask her if she would be upset if you told her,she had to give up what makes her happy because you don't like it.......
4.If she gets pissy about it then you got a problem on your hands.........
5.Relationship are a give and take(I would never bi**h to seabeescotty about his guns because they make him HAPPY)
6.You should tell her that you are saving for another gun and it's your money that is buying it...PERIOD GOOD LUCK!!!!!
My friends let me preface my comments by telling you I wasted 18 years of my life with a woman I really did love but who hated each and every tiny thing that brought me pleasure. I could work my azz off and bring the paychecks home but if I wanted to go hunting, fishing or camping there was always a long debate about how much she hated those activities and why couldn't we just go to the theatre, or a museum, or to a fair etc, etc, etc.... In essence for a variety of reasons these meantioned not the least brought about the end of a long marriage. The spending of income on ones passion when in a marriage regardless of who the person is who wants whatever should be a joint discussion and made with at least some reasonable consensus. However a girlfriend either or not living with you who is not contributing to the misson hasn't an Iota to say about what or where you spend your hard earned money on...
My second wife has a patience and understanding beyond belief and understands at least the happiness the pursuit of my hobbies brings me even if she doesn't share those same passions and hobbies, she encourages me to fish, she enjoys knocking over old beer and pop cans with me with an old 22 rifle! But most of all she doesn't impose her desires over and above mine each decision we make, we make together. WE MAKE if that makes sense to you. What a wonderful concept!

If this is a solid, non negotiable issue, the toss her back. If she is dictating your hobby now, then she will rule it when you get married.
How would you like to come home one evening and find out all your guns were turned over to one of those police buy-backs for a hundred dollars or some such?
CI all you have to do is look around this forum to tell that there are good women out there who share your passion for guns.
Maybe I've over looked this question if I have pardon me please, but does your lady like to shoot?
Frankly, I would never dream of telling my husband what he can or cannot buy with his own hard earned money. In fact he says I'm a bad influence when it comes to buying guns.I'm usually the one hanging over his shoulder at a gun show saying "Honey, we don't have one like that..yet."
