I need help. I currently have a ccw licence and have been fighting with the wife every since I took the test. She goes nuts each time I try to go to the range. She always throws satistics up in my face about how many people die each year from accidental shootings. I am very causious about my gun and yes I know accidents can happen, but all that she is seeing is satistics and not taking into account that most accidents happen from people that should not have a weapon in the first place. We even got into a huge fight today beacuse I wanted to go shoot, but she was going 3 hours away and did not feel it to be safe if something happeded, so of course to keep peace I am here writing for help. Although when she was leaving I did mention to be safe while driving that there were over 100 deathes per day in auto accidents and that it would be more safe for me to stay home and play with my loaded gun. I will be in some serious trouble when she returns.

several of us (me and buddies) have taken our wives.
former non gun liking women , really amazing when they come out of the tactical shoot house with a grin on their face.
spend the money, take her somewhere to get some training.

You won't be in any trouble if you have the balls to tell her to GTFO. There is one thing I couldn't handle and that is a controlling women. [xx(][:(!]

Convince her guns are not what is dangerous, it is the nutz with guns that are dangerous.[;)]
+1/ Gun are dangerous. IN THE WRONG HANDS. I prefer my family to view them as dangerous. If you don't know what you're doing, DON'T TOUCH.

Fixed it for ya. [:D]
Of course guns are dangerous. So are motor vehicles, boats, and chain saws. If these things weren't dangerous, they wouldn't be good for anything. One has to learn how to use a machine, and what its capabilities and limitations are. Any machine can be extremely dangerous in the hands of an incompetent operator, just as any machine can do immeasurable good in the hands of an expert.
Agree completely and with Fastrat also. +100

With all the nagging, I would take what your wife says to mean " Husband, I think you are an incompetant boob. I think you can't handle a firearm safely, nor should you handle them anyhow."
And judging the comment of "some people should not be allowed to have firearms", I would venture to say that ought to start with you. Seems your wife belives you shouldn't be carrying or using them. She knows you better than US right?
Look up the millions of people killed throughout history, after being disarmed. Now, the danger of not having a gun looks a lot different.
You should teach her that it is an inanimate object, its ability to create danger is dependant souly on the user. you are about what, 100 times more likely to get into a car crash on the road to work or the range or the grocery store then to have an AD and kill yourself?
I don't carry a gun to kill people. I carry a gun to keep from being killed. I don't carry a gun to scare people. I carry a gun because sometimes this world can be a scary place. I don't carry a gun because I'm paranoid. I carry a gun because there are real threats in the world. I don't carry a gun because I'm evil. I carry a gun because I have lived long enough to see the evil in the world. I don't carry a gun because I hate the government. I carry a gun because I understand the limitations of government. I don't carry a gun because I'm angry. I carry a gun so that I don't have to spend the rest of my life hating myself for failing to be prepared. I don't carry a gun because I want to shoot someone. I carry a gun because I want to die at a ripe old age in my bed, and not on a sidewalk somewhere tomorrow afternoon. I don't carry a gun because I'm a cowboy. I carry a gun because, when I die and go to heaven, I want to be a cowboy. I don't carry a gun to make me feel like a man. I carry a gun because men know how to take care of themselves and the ones they love. I don't carry a gun because I feel inadequate. I carry a gun because unarmed and facing three armed thugs, I am inadequate. I don't carry a gun because I love it. I carry a gun because I love life and the people who make it meaningful to me. Police Protection is an oxymoron. Free citizens must protect themselves. Police do not protect you from crime, they usually just investigate the crime after it happens and then call someone in to clean up the mess. Personally, I carry a gun because I'm too young to die and too old to allow those I care about to die.
It is everyone's responsibility to combat evil, some of us are prepared to combat it face to face. If I am found alone on the street dead, be sure the last thing from my mouth was a moan of frustration. If I am found with the son of a * lying dead next to me you will know the last thing out of my mouth was a laugh.
Just some thoughts for the day, some borrowed, some added, but all my own...................Scout
Auto accidents are the number one killer of people compared to any other accident .. Lets get rid of our cars..Firearm Accidental deaths are less than 1 percent of accidental deaths..
"As a free and autonomous human being, I have a responsibility to ensure my own safety. As your husband, the father of your children, and the head of this family, I have a responsibility to protect those under my care.
"Far more people die in car accidents than in shootings. If you think guns are so dangerous, then acknowledge that cars are much more so, and hang up your keys right over there. I will take you to the mall shortly and get you a good pair of walking shoes."
Sorry, but I had to remove too many insults, and too much ugliness to let this go on.
Some of you just don't get it. If you see offensive material that you know will be or should be poofed, WHY OH WHY do you copy it into your response? That's just ignorant.
