Single, but Pro-gun is practically a requirement given how much I shoot.

She has a ccw and has no issues with folks owning MGs or mortars etc so I guess that makes her strongly pro.
On the other hand she won't let me buy whatever I want, so does that make her anti?

My girlfriend, and more than likely soon to be fiance is pro gun. She believes in the second amendment, and is supportive of my shooting habits and gun collection. I'm not sure I could describe her as "strongly" pro gun though. She doesn't own any firearms herself, which may change, and she doesn't have a CCW license, which may also change. She will occasionally shoot with me, but I think she enjoys doing so more because it makes me happy than enjoying the actual shooting.

My SO owns three pistols and enjoys shooting. We've gone to the range together several times and I'm always impressed with her natural ability.
We took our CCW class together and she is going to join the rifle & pistol club to which I belong.

She's pro, has her CCW and carries (though I have to remind her sometimes). Sadly, she's a big Glock fan, though I'm working to convert her to the Sacred Church of the 1911.

She has a HK compact .40 blued. It used to be mine.
Now she has her sights set on my stainless.
Hell, the first thing we did together outside of work was go shooting.
She handled my .44 magnum pretty well so I figured I'd see where
this would end up.
That's great.

My wife is pro-gun, but not as "into it" as I am. She has her own pistol (a CZ), and we go to the range together often.

My wife likes guns more than I do. MUCH more.
Also, she likes the opposite of what I do. She likes semi-auto pistols and shotguns and new stuff, I like old things, revolvers and rifles.
I'm just happy she's not an anti!

Very pro-gun. She grew up shooting and hunting (sorta. Wouldn't actually pull the trigger on Bambi's daddy.) with her father. One of our first trips when we started getting serious was to the NRA convention in Nashville. We went through the carry permit class together and she beat most of the other folks at the range with her 9mm Beretta. Never finished the paperwork, though, since she trusts me to provide the firepower.
Definitely a keeper . . . . at least with respect to RKBA.
I'm pretty lucky. But then I never had more than one date with any woman who wouldn't go the range with me on our second date.

Was reluctant
My wife was reluctant to carry a gun but she supported me protecting her but it was hard to get her to carry a sidearm. I'd find her bag left at home and I would put it in her car without scolding her...then one day after dropping our daughter off at kindergarden, my wife was going to work on a rainy day, when some jerkoff took personal issue with my wife's driving.
She said it was raining cats and dogs and she was at two cars distance behind his car when he did a hard brake. She would stop a safe distance to wait to see what he would do. He did this several times, when suddenly he slanted his car in front of hers, jumped out of his car with a tire iron and started towards my wife in her car.
She did not think of her car as a weapon, but she opened her driver's side door partway and hunkered down behind the door. She drew her S&W 3913 and held it ready out of sight.
He paused and stopped his march towards her..ran back to his car and took off.
After that she makes sure that she has her CCW and a a BUG every day that she goes out.
She just asked me if I will be looking for another handgun to buy. I would say that she is very supportive of guns.

Strongly pro gun and pro CCW, not really shooter though.
Neutral
Logically and in theroy she is pro.
Understands the basic axiom: "When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns.." etc.
Her other political beliefs and voting patterns align well with a pro stance.
Supports us getting CCW here in WI, has a logical understanding that criminals can already do as they please, and that you currently can't defend your life outside your door makes no sense.
Bought me a Kel Tec Sub9 carbine for my b-day back in '99.
However...
When it comes to me personally, spending time and money on firearms or shooting, I'll get grief. Not serious, but enough.
Gave me both the "When we get married... when we have kids... the guns are leaving the house speech." I gave the "When it snows in hell" speech, and won.
Gets irritated when I carry a 2" pocketknife, so when we win CCW here in WI, I know I'll have a fight on my hands to train, get the permit, and actually carry.
It could be worse.

Getting her to turn
This is my first post so hello everyone!
My wife is middle of the road. It's funny because she was raised in a household with many guns (south texas with two brothers who hunt constantly). I grew up in an anti-gun household that was very conservative (ironic I know). I've always been strongly pro gun and have wanted at least a home defense weapon for a while.
Well I think I've finally convinced my wife that we need a defense weapon. After the whole NO gun confiscations she is starting to believe we won't be able to buy guns in the future. So we actually went to Cabella's today and I showed her the guns I was looking at.
I think we'll be getting a Mossberg 500 pretty soon since we can use that for pretty much anything. I also showed her the Ruger GP100 I had my eye on, but she said she wasn't sure about revolvers and then looked at the Kimber 1911 and said she really liked that one
hmmm...I think I'm getting to her

Middle of the road. Not anti, but couldn't care less about guns herself. Doesn't begrudge me my toys, but rolls her eyes when I strap on my CCW. (Does this sound familiar?) But after 30 years of marriage, she knows I won't change, and I'm certainly not changing her even though I still try.

I had always thought my spouse was more middle of the road. Then we had a bit of a political discussion about a certain female politician. When I mentioned the politician's pro gun-control stance she said, "If they ever try to outlaw guns I'm going to take all my guns and head for the mountains!" and "I'll fight rather than give up guns!"
I was very pleasantly suprised by these statements. I did point out to her that she didn't actually own any guns...they are all mine. I guess it's time I pick her one up I guess.

Pro Gun ..........Absolutely
When we were married my wife wanted nothing to do with firearms whatsoever.... Two years later, I knew this had all changed when I was working nights and came home one morning to see a 9mm round on top of the TV. I woke my wife to ask her why it was there, her response was simple. "I heard something downstairs and wanted to check it out." And the single round on the TV was there because........? "When I was done I emptied the chamber, but the bullet would not fit in the magazine(that 15th round can be tough ya know), so I got the spare one and put it in." Apparently she was paying attention during our trips to her parents back pasture for "testosterone time/ plinking"
She now has her own Charter Arms 5 shot snubbie for SD/HD and has claimed my 10/22 as hers. She can outshoot me with both and does so regularly, as well as giving me a run for my money the the PT92...... It could be worse, now shooting is "family time". YEA!!!!!!!!!!

My husband and I are both Pro gun. Although I have to do a lot of buttern' up if I want to buy another. He doesn't get as big a thrill buying a new one as I do. I think I need to get him his M1 or something to rekindle is gun purchasing spirit

My wife is very much ProGun, though she is not in the least interested in guns.

I met my wife 40 years ago on a coon hunt at a conservation camp. She's always been pro-gun, though not as enthusiastic as I. She has a .22 rifle of her own, and enjoys going to the range but isn't really interested in handguns. She IS very supportive of me carrying and a strong 2nd amendment supporter as well as an NRA member.
