CR I would like to give a serious reply to your post.
I've noticed this same trend among female police officer. Most senarios will fall into one of three catagories.
a) Woman in a committed relationship will want to become an officer and be met with resistance by their male counterpart.
b) Is a police officer and marriage to "civilian" ends in divorce. (An all to common phenomenon among police officers as a whole.)
or
c)Is already a single female police officer and prevailing attitudes prevent marrying a civilian male.
I believe the reasons are primarily the same as those that pro-gun women are seldom married to non gun men.
Most males ego prevent them from excepting these a woman in what is considered a dominate profession. Common sense tells us that these women are asserative, self assured and quite capable of independent thought. The women are seldom going to allow themselves to be treated the passive "Father knows best" sort of housewife.
The male members here feel free in encouraging their wives (girlfriends) to shoot simply because male ego is not an issue with them. They themselves are secure and feel they have nothing to prove to anyone else or, and perhaps more importantly, themselves. Grandstanding and posturing are for those who feel they have to get others to respect them. The members here know that respect comes from comes from far more then shallow displays of machesimo.
I don't personally know any "civilian" men married to female police officers nor non gun men married to pro gun women. And I doubt that you're likely to encounter many.
DC I'm waiting to see how I did on the first two test.

We live in a time in which attitudes and deeds once respected as courageous and honorable are now scorned as being antiquated and subversive.
