Does Your Spouse Have Access?

If I couldn't trust her completely, she wouldn't be my spouse!

Indeed.
I don't even deliberately associate with untrustworthy people, I surely wouldn't marry one.

MrsBFD has her own guns, shoots well, and knows which of mine fit her best. I don't buy guns that she can't operate, for that matter. Not every gun I own is ideal for her, but she can run them all safely. (the reverse isn't entirely true, she has a few that I have to be very careful of slide/hammer bite on if I'm shooting)

Not addressing the NFA issues (that's a seperate pile of silliness and the fault of stupid laws)
... I'm baffled at why someone would make a lifetime commitment to another person they couldn't trust with simple tools.

No. She's nuts! I hide the kitchen knives when we go away. She scares me and I have to go to sleep sometime. Bet you think I'm kidding...
 
Are you serious? Of course she has access to my firearms. I once took her to the range and after we were done I asked her if she wanted a gun. She chose my 2 1/2" S&W 66 for her gun. Why does she have access. I pitty the intruder who is stupid enough to invade our home.
 
No. She is extremely anti-gun and morally opposed to me having them. I'm the only one who has access to the keys and knows the combinations to all of the locks.

If she want to know, I'd tell her in a heartbeat.
 
Noticing that OP is from NJ like myself, in this crazy state the question and answers have a lot more implications than they do for people who live in Actual America.

The exemptions to the NJ ban on firearm possession, which include having a gun in your house, and in your vehicle if and only if you're going directly to the range (hopefully your gas tank is full and you don't get hungry on the way) are only applicable to holders of a firearms ID card. The card that makes it legal for me to have a gun, if I fall under an exemption to the blanket illegality. CCW is of course out of the question, and long guns are not exempted. I could go on for days.

Anyway, the reason I think this is relevant to the OPs question is that my answer in a public forum for this has to be that my fiancee never ever has access or knowledge of the location of the key to my safe. For this reason alone I'm trying to get her to apply for the FID but with an upcoming name change, and hopefully moving soon after that, it is with half-hearted interest from both of us.

You thought NJ was only bad for CCW and for modern sporting rifle enthusiasts? Think again. The sad part is even my friends, and even my family I recently found out, are all already pre-programmed to have a fear of guns. My father didn't even want to go with me to the range to shoot my .22 revolver, because "handguns are way too easy to accidentally point in the wrong direction and shoot somebody...and they are so inaccurate anyway!" Luckily, within 16 hours of that comment I had him at the bench on a sandbag punching a 1" 10 shot group at 12 feet, in the 10th handgun group he ever shot. (Shamefully, it was also my first time shooting a handgun except for NRA Basic pistol 5-6 years ago, and I couldn't match his group size).
 
She knows the combo but I don't think she knows how to open it. I've asked her several times since she would need access if something happened to me, but it's just not important to her.

I have given the combo to one other family member that I absolutely trust so she can access the contents without me if needed, but I still wish she would learn to open it. My biggest fear is a home invasion while I'm away, and some scumbag threatening her with harm if she doesn't open the safe.
 
Yes, I have access to my wife's guns.;) It's her safe. She has pistols, shotguns, and a rifle. I'm far behind with two handguns, But I shoot more than her now.
 
Yes, she is part of our NFA trust. What's mine is hers and what's hers is hers! She has every right to go out to the gun range out back and shoot when she feels like it, the same as myself.
 
no learn that from my first divorce also learn you don't really know them till ya divorce them
 
NO.

Canadian law states that nobody without a "Possession and Acquisition" or "Possession Only" firearms license can have access to firearms without direct supervision. My wife is not anti-gun, but has very little interest in using them.
I work out of town a lot, so the keys go with me. My oldest son knows where the spare keys are hidden in case something happens to me.
 
Yes, he does. He also has the spare keys to my car and is authorized to sign checks out of my personal account. Not to mention emergency medical POA for myself and the children. Not to mention the location of a certain scar on my body and the circumstance that caused it. While that much trust was against my better judgment life is hard enough without moving someone you don't trust in.
