I Found a Pro-RKBA Girl and I'm HAPPY!

The first post I made here when I became a member was about a woman I'd gone on a few dates with who found out I own guns and freaked out. There were many posts (it seemed to be a rather popular thread).

Well, good things come to those who wait.

I met maybe 9 months ago at work the woman I've been seeing for the past two weeks now. When I met her I liked her right from the start, but she was married and I put any feelings I had for her in a deep dark place in my heart, and went on.

But, we still would spend some amount of time with each other, and got to be friends.

Then, just 3 months ago, I found out she was getting seperated. Apparently, her husband was abusing her (which I had suspected, but not gotten confirmed), and threatened to kill her.

Now, the divorce has been filed for and I discovered this entire time, since she knew me, she has felt the same about me that I've felt about her. The past couple of weeks have been amazing.

Although things aren't in any way close to being resolved, we are finally together, and I'm happier now than I've been in a long time. Atleast any problems we have we can face together.

Cool thing is, she LOVES guns! It's not hard to tell I like guns. (a stack of American Handgunner, Guns&Ammo, and SGN along with a couple of Oleg Volk posters are evidence are at my desk). She asked to go shooting with me.
And, she is quite good! 20/15 vision, good trigger control, picks up targets very well.

But, she grew up in rural TX, and then later Kansas. Way she explained it, she grew up around guns.

She is also insanely beautiful ;) (which is always a plus)

And, she is a big geek (loves Dune, Firefly/Serenity, and Heinlein novels)

Anyway, thought I'd share (and brag)

Sounds similar to mine, even the anime geek part, except for the raised on a farm thing.

She came prepackaged with her own ruger 22/45, and has since got her CCW and a kahr p9 covert to carry, and loved shooting clays with me so much that she went out and bought a beretta teknys gold sporting.

Only trouble is, now her clays gun is better than mine. :D

man you suck, stop taking my future wives away from me :neener:

right on, i am happy for ya man.

Does she have a sister??

Cool! Hopefully her ex just goes away and doesn't try to make trouble. I've been down that road before.:uhoh:


She got a Sister?;)

edit:dam! Kodiaz beat me to it!

The sister is taken. (and they aren't much alike)

As far as the ex, well, he doesn't know me yet, and hopefully never will. She didn't take too kindly to gettin' beat, and hasn't been 'round him since. I don't wanna meet him, b/c I don't want to have to deal with holding back urge to kill :fire: rising. No, seriously, I have a very low opinion of wife beaters putting them somewhere around pond scum and cat feces. She is a wonderful woman and how someone could abuse her is beyond me.

Atleast they had no children, so there isn't a messy custody battle to deal with. (Or me being a step-dad). (although that is kind of jumpin' the gun). It appears that the break will be clean enough all things considered (it could be much messier).

girls are nothing but bad news!
but they sure are fun to have around:evil:

Who needs a sister... clone technology is getting better... any one up for a trip to china (or where ever they are doing it now?)...

Anyway... congratuations on your new girlfriend. Hope things work out for you all.

Cyanide

No, seriously, I have a very low opinion of wife beaters putting them somewhere around pond scum and cat feces.

Don't be so mean to the cats. :neener:

Taking there masculinity away from them is much better, open hand slap and a firm talking to. :evil:


Congratuations on the new girlfriend. Gunshopping, rangetime and a movie make for great dates.

While I agree that it's better no kids are involved, I think so from the angle that no kids were traumatized in this particular situation. The step-parent angle though... well, my sister is a step-mother to a 14 year old boy and they get along really well... the kid even talks about her at school as "his Mom". As with all other stories, there's a lot more to the situation, but I'm gonna cut a long story short here. I just wouldn't consider being a step parent a bad thing in and of itself. We all have to take each situation as it presents itself and make up our minds based on what we know.

That said, this to me is another situation that'll make you wonder why two people couldn't have met each other in the first place instead of having to wade through all that other to get there.:scrutiny: Let's hope it works.:D

Ain't gun girls wonderful?

I was a semi-anti (yep...I hang my head in shame) until I met my fiancee. She'd mentioned owning guns, and I thought, "huh, that's interesting." Then she took me out shooting and after the first shot, I was like "I MUST OWN THEM ALL."

Ever since that day, I've been a rabidly pro-RKBA type, and my fiancee just looks smug and self-satisfied. :)

Be careful tho - a while back I got hooked up with a girl who essentially wanted a bodyguard from her ex... and she was rather freaked when I told her that what she needed was a restraining order, a move without a forwarding, and her own dang gun.

...and she brags on other boards about how she "converted" you...:neener:

Mustang, I understand your ideas on the kid thing, but I had a relationship with a woman who already had a kid. We broke up around things which had to do with incompatibility, not her son (who was a great kid). I generally agree with you that kids being in the middle of this would be the biggest problem. (Thank G-d there aren't)

As for Bogie, I'm not worried. She's got her own pistol (although she likes rifles better), and knows how to use it. I've already established what I'm willing and not willing to do (if I'm threatened life and limb by her ex, in a grave exteme, meaning armed confrontation, I'll take him out, no less), and she doesn't expect any more of me than what I've said I'd do.

Also, this didn't come with strings of that nature attached. Supposedly his friends are attempting to calm him somewhat. Also, we aren't flaunting this whole thing.

I live in KC, and she has been staying with me, or at a friends close. He lives in an undisclosed location to the West by a good ammount.

I've been quite carefull, based upon the idea that a healthy dose of paranoia keeps one alive. :uhoh: :uhoh: :uhoh:

It's something she laughs about, but agrees with in principal.

Congratulations! Sounds like you've found a keeper. Treat her well!

There are a lot of'em around. I had a method to weed'em out early on.

"I am pro-gun. I own guns and I carry guns and I shoot guns. If that's a problem, speak now or forever hold your peace, because it is not negotiable."

If she's for real and the magic is there...hang on tight!

Although things aren't in any way close to being resolved, we are finally together,... Not meaning to rain on your parade, but I think you're jumping the gun here. If the marriage/divorce thing is still in the process of being finalized, you're still messing around with another person's spouse until it is a done deal. Even if the other person is the lowest scum of the earth, it is the institution of marriage that is important and needs to be respected. Once its over and done with, its all fair game at that point.Also, we aren't flaunting this whole thing.Ummm... you ARE talking about this on a public forum. Someone who is addled with strong emotions this sort of thing generates could easily see THAT as flaunting the whole thing.I've been quite carefull, based upon the idea that a healthy dose of paranoia keeps one alive. Very wise move. Wiser still would be to stop talking about it until the divorce is done.

Still married??? Whoa! Didn't see that part. Yeah...Agree with Sindawe.
Best to let it be until things are nice and legal. Lotta heartache possible there...trouble too.

Just my 2% of a buck though...

Out!

On our second date we went to a gun store to pick up a gun I had ordered. She's been my wife for 12 years now.

My wife supports and encourages my gunaholic habit. and something very neat happened - my eldest son is dating a pretty young lady who went to the gunshow with us yesterday. she had a good time and wants to go to the next one . Sometimes Life is excellent.

Kismet, fate, coincidence, synchronicity, or whatever you call it is at play here! I hope all things work out for you and ytour new love!:)

You are a fortunate man indeed

usually a bad idea to hook up with a woman in the midst of change. they tend to keep changing. that being said, if you want a hotty it's difficult to find one who is done with the past.

you are setting yourself for long nights in which you get to listen to her bitch about the last guy. as soon as you are firmly hooked the nightmare begins.

pic pic pic pic pic!!!

i'll send you a few pics of my girl(s) :evil:

Seems to me when you get to be 30 or so, it's hard to find somebody in the same age group who doesn't have "baggage" of some sort. I think when you get to know somebody at that point in their life, you get to understand why they are the way they are and they should be the type that will want to understand you. That's just me thinking.

Although I personally wouldn't date a legally married woman and I agree with those who think likewise, I'm not going to tell someone else how to live their lives. But, and this is just some more of me thinking, it seems to me like if the guy was generally abusive and beating on her and she wants out of that, the marriage is over. Seems to me it wasn't a marriage to begin with other than in name... more like slavery. (I know somebody's bound to make some obligatory jokes about that.) It's a lot like if two people are married and one starts cheating, to my mind, all bets are off. The only thing intact is the legal end of it.

" No, seriously, I have a very low opinion of wife beaters putting them somewhere around pond scum and cat feces."

+99999999.

"Even if the other person is the lowest scum of the earth, it is the institution of marriage that is important and needs to be respected."

I'm all for respecting the sanctity of marriage. I would never even be alone with a married woman in a room if possible. However, I do feel that the husband who beats his wife is not deserving of any benefits of marriage. I have a aunt whose ex-husband once rammed her head through a storm door.:fire: Me & my dad didn't know about it until they had divorced & he moved on. My grandma didn't tell us about it because we would have beat the stuffing out of him. My aunt is now married to a great guy who treats her well.

I congratulate the original poster for finding a companion. Marriage isn't for me but I'm glad someone is happy now.:)

She's goin gto take all your guns and make them her's.
Believe me I know.
You're going to wind up CCWing rocks.
But.....................it's worth it.

I got a nice pro RKBA girl as well. Its fortunate, she isn't a serious RKBA type she just thinks shooting is fun, and apparently has a thing for a certain local gun stores rent-o-matic MP5.

What tends to make my life alot easier is.....she tends to look at Gun purchases in the same way she looks at shoe purchases....she says " Well I look at it this way, You can go out and buy a $400.00 gun, I can go out and buy a pair of shoes right? Plus the more you have the easier it is for me to get to them when your gone." I tend to travel alot with work.

The last time i checked, shoes didnt cost near as much as a pistol, so I think I have it rather good. Oh and what kind of pic are you looking for, we talking skirt and rifle or everyday wear?

After my then girlfriend and I dated for awhile the subject of guns came up. She was open minded about them so we went shooting together a few times. She later outshot me when we took our CCW course together. She now owns a PPK-S, G23,and a S+W 1911 w/adjustable sights. Another 4 weeks we will have been married for three years. There are still good ones out there. Glad you found one too.

Dude, I understand, but, I can't put pics of a married woman I'm making love to on the internet which is a public forum. This is the same reason I did not disclose where to the West her husband is.

As for the morality of the situation, I look at it this way, this is a contract between G-d and her and her husband. He promised, in fact swore to G-d to cherish her. The moment he hit her, he broke the contract. I may be afraid of how state law would see this (in the divorce proceedings), but not G-d in this event. I didn't lie to him.

As for the institution, people that abuse their spouses dishonor the institution. I don't think I can step on it any moreso than he already did. This would be different if she was just cuckolding him as a thrill, or because he is a poor lover, but this isn't so.
