How do you know when your wife is no longer freaked out by guns?

[techres]

Every month we have a new thread on "How do I get my wife comfortable with guns?" or "How do I get a gun in the house without divorce papers?" and so on.

I have posted my personal experiences several times on me & my wife's "journey" on this detailing our going from Mrs.IHateAllGuns to finally being willing to have them around and even getting a Pink paper.

But still the question remains, "How do you know when your wife is no longer freaked out by guns?"

I can tell you how....





Wait for it...




Just a moment now...




Here we go.....





When she uses your favorite Bushmaster Home Defense AR as a shelf for storing next year's holiday presents :

All I can say is, unintended consequences!

(Yes the M4 has been liberated)


P.S. I am glad it has come this far - that which was the incarnation of scary death is now just like everything else in the house (a potential shelf). She has come a long way!

That's AWESOME!! Good for her! And moreso, you!

I seem to remember a law about storing things on top of a gun being a feloney..... better have me come by and remove the gun.... just to keep you out of trouble.

I knew she wasn't freaked out at all when she began to give me money for lunch, and suggested folks I could ask to go to the gun shows, or the range.

Never was

My wife was never freaked out about guns but I knew things were definitely looking up when I came home from my first prairie dog trip and she asked "when can I go?"! I returned to South Dakota with her and her 2 new varmint guns about a month later. I have to be careful now. Some of my guns have shown a tendency to become hers.

Happiness is having an activity you can share with your spouse. Even if it's killing small critters at extreme distances and she's better at it than you are.

Wait one second...

You mean you're NOT supposed to do that? I mean.. look at all that wasted space! What in the world were you thinking, putting your rifle up there flat, if you didn't want stuff stored on top of it???

Congrats and thank you. I was trying to figure a tactful way of suggesting that "gun friendly" should be included in one's criteria for choosing a spouse.

Wait until she starts using your sniper rifle to move the funiture because the barrel is longer. It gives her more leverage.

Better plan! The problem is that I cannot stand the CAR up (ceiling too low). And perhaps she just did not really see it there (black = low visibility). So the only solution was to order a short upper for the pistol lower and make sure it is visible:

Of course the yellow stock is going on the Bushmaster for now since we have visibility issues an the SBR paperwork on the pistol lower is sitting on my desk.

Maybe this will help!

when she said " I don't care how much a full auto tommy gun cost, if you think it's a good deal, go ahead and get it"

[Fordmadman]

When she shoots all your guns and says thats not bad go buy more ammo lol

 

[Pamcake]

You know she's not freaked out by the gun...

When she takes a Glock armorer's course without you knowing it, then fesses up later!

(That's what I did, anyway)

 

[Bubbajms]

If my wife is actually a Glock Armorer and hasn't told me yet, she's in trouble..

You know she's not freaked out by the gun...

when she uses it to unjam the garbage disposal.

I knew my girlfriend wasn't scared of guns anymore when she was excited to see the Mosin I picked up from trophyhunter.

She used to be terrified of the thought of a gun being in the same house as her.

when she uses it to unjam the garbage disposal.

Nice. It is just a tool, right?

Finally a good use for the mosin bayonet!
