A comprehensive list of all "My spouse / girlfriend / friend is anti, help!" threads.

[jlbraun]

Because this comes up a LOT at THR, here is a list of all threads where a THR member has asked about a wife / girlfriend / husband / friend / relative who was opposed to guns / self defense / CCW / whatever, with the implication that the THR member was facing a choice: "It's the guns or me!" and what the result was.

I'll start:

Can we please have a thread about something like "Help, my girlfriend/wife/partner is a better shot than I am and is spending a fortune on ammunition?"

Threads like that don't start because those guys are keeping quiet so no one else snatches their partner up.

No comment.

No, honestly, I spend way more on ammo than her.

And somehow, she still outshoots me.

Nooooooooooooo......pleeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaassssseeeee no.

The last thing on earth we need is an INDEX of these things.

And I do spend more on guns AND ammo than Archerandshooter.

Perhaps we could just have a sticky that excerpts the non-stupid ideas for a generic fill in the blank "My ... won't let me ... my guns in the ...! Should I ...?" thread.

It wouldn't take up much space and we could just send folks who have these problems to read it.

oooo, I'm gonna burn for that!

That's what I was thinking.

"Go read this. You situation has been hashed out before."

I dislike reading them and hashing them out, but people having anti relatives, friends, wives, and girlfriends is definitely gun-related.

Feel sorry for all concerned...

The odd thing is, more guys devote time to the gun issue than they do to the marriage issue and I THINK if it were the other way around they wouldn't have the problem to begin with.

Guns are part of who I am. If you can't accept that then you can't accept me. Period.

Man, I'm glad I don't have this problem!

My only problem is every time I go to the range w/o her, she looks at me like I just cheated on her...(Which, in a way I guess I did a little.)
