There are certain core beleifs and values that you and your other must share or it will never work. Guns, relegion, general politics. Can some of these be a little different, yes, but completely opposite, probably not. Just my thoughts and opinions.

no you left
Take it from a 16 year marriage combat veteran, if she isn't empowering you in every possible way, she will work to debilitate and undermine you in other ways. The controlling types are like that. They need to work on themselves instead of looking for satisfaction by mashing, compressing, folding, and grinding you until there's no you left.

If it's love you won't listen to any of us here and you'll do what is right. If she's truly in love with you, she won't try to change those things that make you, who you are, because that's who she loves. Otherwise it's all a lie, and no relationship can last on lie and distrust.
Marriage and love is about accepting the flaws or qualities we dislike/hate about another person, and still for no explainable reason, each person love the other above all other worldly things.

First you lose your guns.
Second you lose your nuts.
Third you'll wear the skirt.

I have found that a marriage is much more than love. Love is there, but it changes over time. It goes from hot and passionate and cools from there (not in a bad way). Finding common ground is essential for a good marriage. If you cannot do that, then there will be problems.
I skimmed through most of this - too many posts .. But :
One thing a GOOD woman will respect is Your Character. Tell her politely...
" I am a shooter , it's what I am - I will not let any other person - including you - change me. I'm sorry but you need to get over it or go away."

Define your beliefs. Don't expect anyone else to endorse them.
People fear things they don't understand. Have her take the survey on http://www.a-human-right.com/
Let her voice her fears, concerns, (mis)perceptions, etc. and listen attentively. My wife still has not gone to shoot with me, however, she understands that my guns are not "ticking bombs" ready to go off at anytime.
Or- have her stand down range and she can hold the targets for you....
Best o' luck!

get rid of all your guns.
pm me and i will give you my address to send the guns
hahaha no woman is worth getting rid of your guns. i would tell her just like that too. Then she can make the decision. Live with the guns or go find some nerd to have as your boyfriend.

There are 5 Billion people in this world, there are probably 1000 or so who are just right for you... granted 900 of them probably live in China, but you get my point. Find another girl.
Definetly say Goodbye nice meeting you .
then maybe we coud take atrip to China and meet a few good ones.

Hi Bandit,
by your asking, I may take it that you like her a lot. However, since they never stop once you give them am inch (or cm in Greece) don't even thing to get rid of the guns but of her. If she doesn't care enough about what you like so much, why should you and what about the future?
A married for 37 years,
George

Don't know if this fits in the discussion, but I've always found that firearms collecting(or accumulating) is cheaper than chasing women. Even more so, if you catch one.

Yeah! and if you get a dog with gun collecting, you can usually get some or most of your money back when you dump it!
Try doing that with a bad relationship...

its hard for a single man to find a good woman,who loves guns and is willing
to learn,if she has not been raised aro

I think it's encouraging that from what you say she is AFRAID of firearms, not someone who HATES firearms or has a very close-minded position about guns. If it's a fear, perhaps it is a fear that can be unlearned. Maybe before trying to go shooting with her, talk to her about her fear, find out what's behind it. Did she have some psychological trauma related to a gun? For instance maybe she had a family member or friend who suicided or was injured with a gun. ONce you know more about her fear, you can decide if it's something that you might be able to help her unlearn (slowly) or not.

From a womens view point
I used to be afraid of guns. Mostly because I didn't know how to safely handle them and how I should expect others to handle them. Once my house was broken into & I called the cops from behind the recliner, I gathered some courage and took my personal protection into my own hands. Once having the knowledge of how to properly handle fireamrs, I can't get enough of them!
Anyways, you need to find out what the basis for her fear is. If it is just lack of knowledge, that is fixable. But if there are other issues, don't give up the guns for a women. If she wins this issue, she will start asking for more. Go to the range on ladies night & find someone that will enjoy it with you. Life is too short to give up what you enjoy!

Love is an illusion, that piece of metal is just that...choose your poison, you'll lose them both eventually. Why ask us you already know the answer, you'll stand your ground or you'll fold...you know you. HAHA Choose wisely.
Aint life great!! hahaha
