Never been one to let a woman run roughshod over me like that.

Get a CCW.

I would ask why she is telling me what I can and cant do and take another sip of my drink.

Quoted:
Well, as frequently happens” I’m looking at this thread from the other side of the gender divide. But …

I can’t recall my husband ever telling me I couldn’t do something. But if he did, I suppose I’d do what I’ve done once or twice in previous relationships, to wit, I’d say, “I love you, Precious. But if you intend to continue taking your comfort between these chubby little thighs, you’ll back away from this one.”

And I'd laugh. My fiancee learned long ago that I don't really give a shit. I'm more motivated by lasagna and blowing shit up.

Not everyone is the same.

Come to think of it there is not a single thing she can threaten me with outside of real physical harm or ending the relationship that would make me hesitate on something I am firm on. This is also a big reason why we need to communicate instead of just make threats and throw tantrums. I am agreeing to no CCW for the wedding because it doesn't fit in my suit. Carbine and plates will be less than 25 feet away and my groomsmen will be armed. I'll be stuck with a lowly push dagger.

Women (and friends) don't get into my life without knowing the guns will be with me after those same women and friends are gone.

I'd go get it any way.

My now wife then fiance told me I couldn't own a handgun so I got in my car, drove to the gun store and over paid for a handgun.

My wife knew about my interest in firearms and shooting before we got married. Anything like that would have been a deal breaker. The same thing went for her pets, they were non negotiable. 14 years married.

I don't get mindset. That CCW isn't gonna love you back. All other things being equal, this is a dumb reason to leave your wife.

It's not about the gun, it's about being with a woman who doesn't trust you.

That said, I wouldn't leave her, but we'd have to assume this would be a change of heart as I wouldn't marry someone that didn't trust me. So we'd sit down and have a discussion about how I'm not giving up means to self defense just because she all of the sudden has a problem with guns.

My wife has her own CCW and has in the past three states that we’ve lived. It’s something that we do together.

I would look her in the eyes, unblinking, say "ok dear", and while still looking her in the eyes load up a piece, and tuck it in my waistband. The just walk away.

My stance on guns and CCW would've been made clear to her long before I said "I do."

I'd call her doctor and request an emergency visit because I think she may have had a stroke.
No way she would say anything like that normally.

I heard this today. Guy knows I'm a shooter. He owns guns and shoots. Says he doesn't carry a gun cause his wife doesn't want him to so he never got a permit.

I'm not married so I can't comment. If a GF told me that I'd laugh and tell her that's cute.

Not a CCW but......

Some 30 years ago I was on a date with a new GF of about a month. We were on the bike, out for burgers and Bloodys. I invited her to come to Sturgis a couple weeks earlier, and she accepted.

As we were enjoying the aforementioned Burgers and Bloodys, she said "I have a question for you"

I said "I probably have an answer"

She said "What would you say if I asked you to choose between me or the motorcycle?"

I said "Don't ask questions you don't want to know the answer to"

She said, after a pause, "Fair enough"

We've been married 27 years, and yes, she shoots, as well as rides her own 98 Road King.

She has never told me there's something I can't do.

Posted: 3/13/2024 5:59:38 PM EDT

[#23]

Me? I'd do it anyway because I'm defiant as fuck. Put the ball in her court.

Once again I'm glad I don't have some other people's problems.

I know a guy who had his grandfather's Colt 1911 from WW1, it was the only gun he had.
When grandkids came his wife said it had to go.......I like it.......

Back in 2009-2011, I was dating this woman and she kept insisting I had too many guns. I probably had 6 at the time.

By the time I met the woman who I am married to, I was working at a LGS and probably had 8 at that time. This would've been 11 years ago.

By the time she and I got married, I told her I had built a rifle specifically for her and that it was comprised of the best components I could put on a gun.

She only gave me one qualifier about buying guns, or guitars, or cars, etc.

Don't go into debt to do it.

My wife was rather liberal when we met 16 years ago. She was shocked to discover I was carrying on our first date.

Posted: 3/13/2024 6:26:24 PM EDT

[#31]

My wife as well as just about all my former girlfriends found out i carried the first time we had sex; when I took my pants off with a iwb holstered handgun.

Some might have asked a question or two, but none minded it. A couple of them confessed later that it was a turn on to them at the time.

Mine and my wife’s license numbers are consecutive.

I asked my wife this question, and she said (with an attitude that conveyed that the question is retarded), "go get the permit anyway you're the man of the house." Lol

My wife knows better and she is Canadian. I would have done it overnight and helped pack her bags if she made a stink. My rights are non-negotiable. 44 years later she likes the idea but AR is Constitutional carry so it is a moot point.

No, guy. See, you were so intent on doing your Mr. BigDick act that you completely overlooked the context of my post. That being, what would I do if I was getting push back from my spouse about carrying. And the answer is basically like yours, I wouldn’t tolerate it.

My Australian ex wife was smart enough not to ever tell me what to do, at least in regards to firearms.

I am not married either. It's doubtful I ever will be at this point. Especially to a woman that has issues with such things.

However, if that happened I would just laugh and say "too late". I have had one for over 20 years.

You're not a 5 year old, you're a grown fucking adult (supposedly). You don't need anyone's permission to do adult things. You think if your broad wanted to have 10 dudes pull a train on her, she will give a shit what you think?

Posted: 3/13/2024 7:34:16 PM EDT

Mine told me she didn't want me to. She also previously told me she didn't want me to buy my first gun. Later she told me she didn't want guns in the house once we had children. I didn't abide by any of it. She didn't press any of it.

She's been carrying for years since.

Get one anyways. Ball's in her court

I love Briskette.

She drove us to the courthouse to get our first permits because earlier that day I'd had an upper GI endoscopy and was still loopy from the sedation.

I was actually high in my first CCW picture.

You know not of what you speak. In reality, the gun issue is just the tip of the iceberg. It simply shows that there is a whole lot more going on.

I'm trudging through the process here. One thing my county does, and not sure if it's their policy or tied to recent state changes, is one of the references is to be your "cohabitant." They want spouse info, too. I don't see anything odd there, it's not impossible that people don't live with their spouses, perhaps, one at a job, school, military, split but not divorced, etc. Or has a roommate or significant but un-married other. Different states, different laws, etc., but strikes me that if one is in this sort of state/county, it's probably not ideal he background investigator and the "other" re-open your discussion. I don't know how the permit process would go with that but pretty sure the "discussion" at homewould kick up a notch or two. FWIW, my wife thinks I have enough guns. she's thought for the last several, and in some sense of things, she's probably right.
