Does your wife share your interest in guns? If so, what does she shoot? Post your photos![:D]

Here's an image of Holly, my pistol packin' wife and her favorite auto (Llama MicroMax .380).

    Mine just likes to shoot things, and frankly, I don't trust her with a gun in her hand.

    My wife mainly tolerates my addiction. She understands my need to hunt and knows shooting relaxes me. A couple times a year she will come to the range with me and usually fires a handgun or two and once in a while a shotgun.

    Our last trip to the range included our sons. They did not think Mom could handle a shotgun. She picked up my Remington 870 and ran seven quick shots through it right on target.

    The guys were impressed.......

    Since my wife isn't photogenic, I don't have any pictures, but she has a Charles Daly Field semi-automatic 20ga. shotgun and a Beretta .25 Auto that she enjoys shooting sometime. I wouldn't say she's as enthusiastic about firearms as I am, but she shoots occasionally.

    Not really. My wife told me when she met me she wont have guns in the house. She has come around though and has gone shooting with me a few times. I think we are gonna buy a set of those new sky pistols soon for our ccw's.

    Not wife but long time GF.

    Does NOT like guns. She thinks they're dangerous and stupid, and "they bore me to tears."

    But if I have the cash and I'm looking at another gun she'll say, "go get it. You should have what you want."

    And she doesn't give me grief when I go to the range: "Have fun. Be safe."

    Can't complain.

    Classic got me interested in guns, so yes I do share his interest....he prefers trap shooting, and I prefer pistols....we both buy each other guns and both love it when the other one finds a deal...Both go to gun shows TOGETHER (most of the time) and my fav gun to shoot is the Colt 1911A1....

    No, and would probably be PO'd if she knew the true number that I have. But, she has on occasion asked that I bring some heat with me, like when we had the power outage and people were going nuts at her dad's gas station...

    another ... Nope.

    but she's supportive ... She bought me several, including the SIG-556, an HK .45 Tactical a few years back, an H&R M12 a few years before that ... a second Dillon 550B for Christmas one year.

    Whenever I go to a gunshow she always asks what I got; I can (and do) tell her without fear!

    But she has absolutely no interest in shooting.

    Same here, except she owns exactly one gun. Her carry piece.

    She sees guns as a tool. She also seems to think of me as a tool, too. At least that's what she calls me.

    Its funny you mention that!

    When I cleared out a bunch of safe-queens to pay for my new Saturn Sky ... I wrote a check for the car, the taxes, insurance; the whole nine yards.

    ... She said: I had no idea you had that many guns and that was all she said about it[:D]

    Unfortunately my wife does not share my interest in guns. However, She does not freak out when I come home from a gunshow with five or six guns. She does think I have too many hung on the walls in the family room though.

    I think I'lll keep her.[:p]

    'Tolerates' would be a better description. She has shot with me once. That was enough for her. It's all about the little victories.

    My wife buys me guns on special occasions and will go out once and a while and keep up her skills with her 9MM.

    She likes them but no where near as much as I do. She has two of here own, S&W SW99 and a Beretta 12ga for sporting clays.
