My wife doesn't love guns. She is ambivilant.
She understands the purpose, but she also takes the self defense aspect for granted a littke bit.
She has a nice little 20 gauge she shoots sometime.
She doesn't understand why anyone would need am armory full of ARs. Lol
Pretty much the same with Mrs. USMC-03. She never grew up around firearms and had only shot a couple of times before we met.
A month or so after we started dating, we were in some department store and she ran her hand down my back right into my pistol. Her eyes got wide when I told her what it was. Later she admitted finding it was shocking, comforting, scary and arousing all at once.
The guns come with me and she's only ever insisted I store them safely; fair enough. She's been to a few rifle matches with me but finds it rather boring.
My wife is a bit of a dichotomy with firearms though. She's definitely left of center politically; Republicans bad, Democrats good along with the rest of her family whereas I hate the all. But if you go issue by issue we have much more in common that not.
Mrs. USMC-03 is also half American Indian with a lot of exposure to warrior cultures. She gets the need for being prepared to defend our family but at the same isn't keen on those evil "assault weapons ". Loves shooting my AR however...
With the increasing uncertainty in our society today, my wife has expressed interest in developing more skill with firearms. I'm perfectly ok with this...
