Blooch, you're a lucky guy! I can't get my wife to go out shooting, much less get her to buy me a gun! Knowing my luck, she'd come home with a Lorcin!

My g/f hates guns. While she was living with me, she came to understand that they are a very important part of my life and she needs to accept them. I took her shooting a few times and she wasn't bored, but she stopped going with after a while. Now that she is living at her mom's for a while, she wishes she had a .22 to keep in her purse. Go figure?!?

I'm divorced, so I'd say it's a non-player.

Chances are he knows how to use it.

My beautiful wife--not a shooter, but bought me a Ruger slabside govt. target model for Christmas and is happy that I have a practical outdoor hobby (that gets me out of the house for six hours every Sunday). 
Like sarge83, as long as the bills are paid, she doesn't ask how many guns I've bought this year (seven), or how much ammo.
Come to think of it, better go do something nice for her now.

CindyH isn't my missus, exactly, but here's some things about her that'll make you poor guys envious.
We watched The Matrix on Saturday night. She didn't chide me for my "That's wrong!" comments (Glocks being cocked, wrong brass in the Skorpions, etc). When I apologize for ranting about gun-related mistakes in the movies, she just smiles and says "I don't mind, I'm learning!"
We *finally* made it to the range yesterday, after 3 months of trying. She brought her li'l .22WMR revolver. I brought my 1911, 1860, Marlin 60, Enfield, Mossberg 12-gauge, and H&R 20-gauge single. She had zero problems handling the .44 and .45. None. She turned potatoes into mush at 50 meters with the .22. She made scrambled eggs with the H&R and had no complaints about recoil (after I taught her correct shotgun stance).
And one more thing: she's waiting impatiently for her Walther to arrive, because her .22 is too big to pack.
Eat yer hearts out, suckers.

Five guns ago, my wife put her foot down and declared, "no more guns!". It just made me be more...creative... in finding storage locations, funding, and clean up.
She's not stupid, I'm pretty certain she knows that I'm still buying guns, however, I think she feels her declaration slowed me down.
It's the classic 'don't ask, don't tell' finally working.

I love introducing people to guns. especially women. Ive taken alot of women to the local range here in Glen Burnie MD. for a new experience. Some like it, some dont. But I always make them learn the basics and let them shoot a few mags alone. Last sunday i took a 23 year old single mom for her first gun experience. she had never laid hands on one until sunday. We (more like she) shot 500 rounds out of my .22 ruger and 50 from my sig .40
I didnt think she would like the sig being its a recoil monster, but she loved it. she took all of her targets home and is telling her family and everyone she knows how much fun it was. Shes looking into a Ruger 9mm now.
We got us another one boys !
WOOOOOHOOOOOO

Positives: Wife qualified as marksman in the Army. She loves to shoot and is a better shot with a handgun than I. She can shoot ambidextrous and is nondominant-eyed. Will go with me to gun shows no problem. She's bought me several blackpowder firearm kits. Bought me reloading equipment last year. Firm believer in RKBA.
Negatives: She's not a "gun nut", doesn't read gun mags, not interested in stopping power debates, etc. Does not like me buying guns often because of expense, would rather spend money on shoes, drapes, quilts, etc. Has not gotten CHL yet, wants one but considers it low priority (we have "discussions" about this one, it's a sore point with me).

My wife is only now beginning to try out the shooting arts, you may have seen some of my other threads recently on the subject of stores in my local area that would give a good selection for her to try.
To be honest, I never shot before we married, I was introduced to it by my Mother In Law, who actually issues CHL's from the local Sheriffs Office. The reason I have access to a handgun is because of my wife rather than in spite of her. I never really bothered about my own safety, but the thought of seeing someone hurt her whilst I was powerless to help gave me the reason to learn, you could say my joy of shooting followed the practicality. That is also why I am so incredibly careful with regard to handgun safety, I am always conscious that the chambered round in the nightstand gun could kill her just as easily as save her. I can only hope that someone from the Million Moms March reads this post and realises that many of us do this to protect our families and not put them in harms way.

I'm from a gunny family. My wife is not, and didn't want guns in the household. I honored her wishes and waited for a few years until things got pretty rotten in society, and then suggested we get a gun. I was surprised when she indicated she'd had a change of mind.
We bought our first pistol together, joined a range, and I taught her to shoot. We now shoot together regularly (we went two days ago). She bought me my last pistol for my birthday. Pretty cool lady!

When I first met my Wife she had never shot a gun in her life. For our first date I took her shooting. That seems strangely appropriate now.
She loves to shoot, and is kind of excited to get back into it now that she is done being pregnant. She is an excellent pistol shot. Hasn't quite figured out rifle and shotgun yet.
She is planning on getting herself a CCW permit. She hasn't picked out a carry gun yet, but insists that it must be a .45.
She likes when I buy guns because it makes me happy. No she is not a gun nut, but she is at least gun co-dependant.
