If she weren't, she wouldn't be significant.

Maybe it's a bit strange, but my wife looks at my guns as 'objects of art'. Her approval of what I buy is related to how it looks.
We've been married 33 years and she was a 20-year-old artist when I met her who has made a life of art and design. Me, I'm an engineer.
She makes her decision my guns dependant on looks. She likes the classic looks of the 'old army', the 'hand ejector', the 1911, and the Luger. She hates the looks of the Walther P series, and the Glocks. She likes lever guns and bolt action rifles (except the Steyr Scout), but doesn't think much of automatic rifles (except for the old style BAR). To her, the Garand comes in behind the M1 Carbine.
She shoots rarely, but will go shopping with me and drool over an old Colt single action. Me, I want to shoot them...she wants to see how they look on the wall.

pro-gun but not as strongly so as I am. (when she gets home i'll try to get her to post to this, and remove this blurb)

When I met my beloved 27 yrs ago we were both armed security guards at a nuke power plant.
She had her own Model 10, a 12 gauge, and a .22 rifle. That was more guns than I owned at the time!!!
She bought me a CVA Hawken .50 BP rifle for a wedding present.
We've hunted and shot together throughout our 25 yrs of marriage. In the early days when tempers flared and we would say "That's it, time to file for divorce" we always had to renege since we couldn't agree on how to divvy up the guns!
She has no problems carrying. One of her .38's stays between the cushions of her favorite chair. Another is in a kitchen drawer. HER 625 is under her pillow.
IF Nebraska gets CCW in a couple of months (hopa, hopa, hopa!!!), she'll get a permit too.

Any significant other that I have been in a relationship was either A) pro-gun, or B) turned pro-gun ny myself. Most were infact turned pro-gun, when they realized that "guns do not= instant machines of death & destriction" but are just plain fun to shoot, and do not cause harm or death when one is touched.

My wife is strongly pro gun and has a 649. She just can't understand why I need more than 1 handgun, 1 rifle, and 1 shotgun. I can't understand why she needs a dozen tablecloths and matching napkins for a dining room table we use twice a year.
Go figure.

My wife was pretty much a semi-anti when we met. The interesting thing about that is that her entire family hunts, so she has been around guns all of her life.
Now, she is certainly not anti, although not quite as pro as I am. She has a couple of her own guns, but does not get out to shoot much (neither do I).
She has told me more than once that she is happy I carry since sometimes we just dont end up in the best part of town.

The tail end of a conversation today:
She tells me, "If they was a burglar tryin to get in and you wasn't home, I'd shoot him before he come through the door."
I say, "You ready to come with me to the range so I can learn you how to shoot a gun?"
Her reply, "No. I don't wanna shoot no gun."
I reckon that makes her middle of some road.

No SO for me yet either.
I've had a lot of girls who I've liked and vice versa- until the self defense and firearms issue came up! I always hear something to the effect o f"but you seemed like such a nice guy!)
The girls who like the fact I'm a shooter tend to think I'm a "bad boy" so that doesn't work either- as I'm not.
I guess I could tolerate someone middle of the road- but if they are strongly anti I'm just not interested.
