Wife is coming around

[Polishrifleman]

Went out to sight in the hunting rifles with the family this weekend and brought some handguns too. My wife isn't crazy about shooting, she doesn't mind me exercising my rights but it would be beneficial if she at least knew what she was doing when around a firearms. In a slow process over 10yrs of marriage (I said slow process) she has finally started shooting the 22's. On our way back home she gets the sly I can't beleive I'm saying this look and says "I'm a pretty good shot" I get all warm and fuzzy inside and then she asks "where did all those pistols come from".

and then she asks "where did all those pistols come from".

"er...well...honey...what you don't know...because you're not a gun person, is that pistols are actually living things...and as such...they reproduce...entirely on their own...like rabbits...ya..."

My friend said the same thing after shooting my 22's. "I'm pretty good at this".

So now when we hit the range, she'll sit in her folding chair and plink away for hours with the 22 while I set up targets and load her magazines... :banghead:

Be careful what you wish for--my wife "came around" and layed claim to my Hungarian AMD-65. She keeps eye-balling my 9mm...

Take her shopping and let her buy her own. just try not to cringe too much when she says " I like that one ... It's pretty! That's the one I want! In fact, After I got mine into shooting she does the most intresting things. Just this Saturday morning. I had climbed out of bed, fixed me some coffee. She left the house at 3 am went to work to finish up some paperwork drove 30 minutes to the reloading supply store bought 1000 bullets and all of this before 8:30 A.M. Before I even get through my first cup of coffee she dumps this wad of lead in my lap and says," I want to go shooting, you'd better get busy and do some reloading mister!

worth the effort

Taking 10 years to come around is better than a 50 year marriage that involves too much bickering over principles. My (at the time) girlfriend couldn't understand why I had "so many" guns. Then I took her out shooting. Her dad considered that a guy thing only and she was never given the chance when younger. The long and short of it is she enjoyed it, we've been married for 5 years and have a 1 year old son. she has her own shotgun (win 1300 youth 20ga), pistols (brownie buckmark and sigp232) and CCW permit.

"Oh, I've had those a while." (six weeks maybe).

I get all warm and fuzzy inside and then she asks "where did all those pistols come from".

They were crying out for a nice, warm, caring home, and being kind and civil dictated that I should bring them home with me. After all, you wouldn't want them to be put to rest somewhere else, would you?

Or, if she likes sarcastic humour: "They came from our house, where we keep them"

They reproduce like all other critters.

When my wife asks me that, all the blood drains from my face and a cold chill goes down my spine.

My wife has turned into a "gun shop junkie" since she started shooting with a Bersa Firestorm 22. She shoots my 9mm's now, and has layed claim to my Makarov as "her" gun. The other day after drooling over a Springfield 1911, 45, she told me as we were leaving the store, "You don't understand. You don't get any more guns. You can borrow MY guns."

Its funny, although I am not married, my girl friend showed a side of me that I didn't know existed. I told her that I have a Handgun, and went through the whole talk about how I don't want her to be afraid of the gun (every woman I have dated freaked out when I told them that I enjoy shooting and will own firearms for as long as I am alive). Much to my suprize she asked when can I take her to the range to try it out . It turns out her father was into firearms, and she shot a couple of his rifles when she was growing up. I am so glad she didn't freak out, and I might just have a new shooting buddy. The only sad thing is, I wont want to share my HK too much, because then I wont have something to shoot with. I can see that someone is going to be buying another handgun soon

Also, what is with some women getting freaked out when you tell them that you like guns? I mean I told all of them that I was going to be a police officer, I guess they might have not realized that officers carry guns

...and then she asks, "where did all those guns come from?"

Tell her you got them at the SPCA.
