This is too funny. I'm getting scared cuz i am actually starting to like all you people that i have resented for so long. You take up much of my husbands time and he buys the things that you too love, GUNS! Ya know sitting here, in the peace of the morning, kid sleeping the rest at school, bills paid, and car to drive, I'm figuring things aren't so bad. Let him have his guns, He's swore this is the last one for the last 10 times, lol, I'm starting to think he don't really mean that...lol...but he does work 6 days a week and I am able to stay home with my children, Have a vice of my own, and that is all he does, He barely has 10 dollars in his pocket at one time, and hardly complains, so i guess, i can live with it as long as the kids and the dog are fed, and the mortgage is on time. I in any event, feel much safer with my man when he is carrying, especially when we leave the house lol, he always carry's lol, so i'm just gonna say, Have a good day all, and i think i just might get involved so i know more about protecting my family.
 
Sounds like a winner to me ;) You can't go wrong with that idea :D Now if only I could convince my wife to do the same :)

Good for you, Lady! I think it's great that you're making an effort to understand us 'firearms enthusiasts', and of course we're happy to help you further your 'education' in any way we can. You can benefit several ways -
1- It's nice to share an interest with your husband. My wife hasn't gotten into guns much, but she's good about car and boat stuff, so they're interests we share and enjoy. Besides, if you know a little about his guns, you'll never have a problem with what to get him for birthdays, Fathers Day, etc., even if it's stuff like cleaning supplies, a couple boxes of ammo or a set of grips for his favorite pistol.
2- Learning about firearms and how to handle them safely is like swimming - a survival skill. Given that 3/5 of the world is covered in water & everyone ought to know how to swim, there are millions of guns around, everyone ought to know the 4 basic rules of firearm safety, whether they actively shooot or not. Further, basic self-defense skills are important, and here's hoping you never have to use them, but a gun in the hand (of a trained person) is better than a cop on the phone if you ever do find youself in a dicey situation.
3- You mentioned kids in the house, so double the emphasis on point #2, and if you're knowledgeeable, you can lead by example and teach them to be safe. Also, if you learn to shoot, you can share the responsibility for home defense and feel safe when he's not around, too.
Of course the down side of this is that you might find yourself with a new hobby, too. At any rate, we thank you for your interest and hope to see you around TFL. Welcome, M2
 
A little push but not hard.You are at your puter and husband is gone,small kids asleep and older ones in school.Someone has just kicked the door in!!!!!! What do you do?Not for you but for the children in their beds!!!!

I think my wife is very much like you in her attitude toward my hobby. Alright maybe it's more than a hobby, maybe it's a passion! Alright maybe it's more than a passion, maybe it's an obsession! However as in your situation, the bills get paid, the kids take piano and violin lessons and there's good food on the table. Before my wife and I got married I took her shooting and she enjoyed it! Once the children starting coming I had to back off this hobby, sold many guns and didn't shoot as much. Now that they are older I have gotten back into it. I have even included my wife, and 3 of the children. They all enjoy it though they don't shoot as much as I do.

It's unfortunate that the government has made the pursuit of this hobby so expensive. There is no doubt that they are trying to eliminate private ownership of firearms. Unfortunately they are succeeding in that only people above a certain income level can exercise their 2nd amendment rights. It shouldn't be this way. Since I enjoy this hobby and can afford to pursue it I do and I also do my best to support pro-2nd amendment organizations. But an important part is just the sheer enjoyment I derive from collecting and shooting just as other people might enjoy golf, tennis, skiing, boating and whatever.

Your husband is lucky to have you. God bless you both. Make him take you to the range (won't be too hard I bet).

If you would like to know more, let me recommend some good reading for you. Try the book "Armed and Female" by Paxton Quigley.
This is a great book for any beginner, but especially from a womens point of view.

Mrs. Quigley was actually on Reagans
"anti-gun" committee, but the more she found out the truth, the more she became pro-gun!

She is now a very well known writer and firearm instructor. This book is a must read for anyone. Take care!
 
Of course it makes sense. Men like us are secretely geniuses. The rest of the world just doesn't know it.

"Sweetie, this is the last one."

I told her that 3 guns ago. Gosh I've got it good. ;)
