Freepers, hoping for the sage advice you’ve long provided to me.
Cutting to the chase, I have a CCW and a Sig S P365 Nitron. I have a gun safe in my vehicle, as well as one in my bedroom.
The issue is, Mrs. End Times Sentinel is not at all supportive of my being armed on a daily basis. Any ideas for a subtle place that I could easily/daily access this accoutrement without making a big deal out of it? She’ll figure it out in short order, but if it becomes any sort of ordeal, as we leave the house daily, it’ll become a point of contention, and I’m no pony ride as it is.
Any ideas that don’t involve it being outside (inner city rowhouse, thus the need for CCW), or drilling a gun case/safe into her expensive/antique furniture?
Goal is a secure place, out of sight, out of Mrs. End Times Sentinel’s mind that I can quickly access. Thanks in advance!
“Any ideas for a subtle place that I could easily/daily access this accoutrement...”
On your belt.
I should leave my life's partner over an issue of gun storage contention.
OK, give in and lock all your guns in a safe.
If someone breaks into your home, and you both get kilt, have one of your well raised kids write your obit and send it to FR.
You stoopid bastard.
You believe that you need a gun for protection, and don't have the balls to carry it without your wife's permission.
You don't need a gun, you wouldn't use it anyway {unless your wife said it was OK}.
You should be embarrassed to post this on FR.
You should write to 'Dear Ann' and be sure to tell her about your true "feelings".
and Turn in his
Man Card, immediately!
.
Hilarious!
After much thought my only suggestion is and don’t take this personally but jeez grow a pair and remind Mrs. End Times “who’s your Daddy”. Somebody has to say it.
Thanks for confirming that people can change their mind about something if you make the right approach.
Have a good weekend!
I have a belt rig for the P32 which looks like a cell phone holster and have tested the little Underwood extreme cavitator rounds for it and like them. Gives that little gun a severe punch to a bad guy if needed. I also carry a CZ82 occasionally, with two extra mags ... it’s a sign of the times.
Amen! hopefully there are many /s’s missing!!
Hey, not only 2ndA helps women become more equal, how about old 82 age geysers like me also feel better protected by owning a firearm or two. My hands are still steady, and I can shoot a dozen rounds inside a 6” circle at target 30 feet away.
I hope you won’t try the solution that worked for me.
My wife was mildly anti-gun for quite a few years, and I was respectfully discrete about the fact that I have guns and spend a lot of time shooting. The night we had three intruders on the property who didn’t mean well and it took the police more than 20 minutes to get there, she changed her mind. Now she checks to make sure I’m armed at least daily, which is almost as annoying as her objecting to guns.
I've made that same observation of that dynamic. Curiously, a boyfriend taking a girlfriend to a range to teach her to shoot is a fun date...and generally I've noticed girlfriends tend to be very receptive and have a lot of fun.
Wives being coached by a husband? Not so much.
Thanks!
Do you have a link? Interesting idea.
Sometimes, I'll attend (usually) a sporting event where you have to pass through a metal detector manned by a 75 IQ "human" and arguing with him/her and his/her 76 IQ supervisor makes locking it up for the short time I'm in the stadium a better option.
Ah, if you could only read, and then comprehend, you wouldn’t make such an ass of yourself.
There are several solutions mentioned on this thread that don’t involve locking guns in a safe, which was your only answer.
I don’t know what to tell you about improving comprehension, maybe talk it over with a neurologist, but until then, probably stop weighing in on discussions you can’t possibly understand.
Truly the dumbest response on this entire thread. First ballot, Unanimous, Idiot Hall of Fame.
yeah i hear ya
Years ago, Col. Jeff Cooper said, “If you are reading this and can’t put your hand on your defensive firearm, all of your training is wasted.
You actually believe there's a shot for "Low T"? Sorry to disappoint you, but that's not on your horizon anytime soon.
That you equate gun storage with masculinity very clearly indicates that you don't have the vaguest idea what's involved in being a man.
Absolutely stunning that a grown "man", even if he's never been in a sustained relationship with a woman, or even another fella, thinks that where one stores his gun is the indicator or being a man.
This country is going to hell and you're a leading flag bearer.
I'm only glad that solely the most degenerate young people would look at you as a role model.
I read that a Freeper, married 30 + years is asking other FReepers ways to carry a gun while hiding it from his wife because she doesn't want him to carry it.
How is my comprehension so far, snowflake?
Like I said, write to Ann Landers, she'll tell you to hide your gun in your bra.
Call me an idiot, and put me in your idiot's hall of fame, but I don't now, nor ever have, had to ask my wife for permission for doing something that can save her life.
You may or may not be an idiot, but you are a pussy.
Your wife doesn't like guns and you are such a snowflake that you write a post to an open forum begging for ways to sneak your gun around.
Grow a pair or hide under your bed.
The issue is, Mrs. End Times doesn't like you to CARRY A GUN.
She would rather see you dead than allow you to protect your self.
BTW, you sound like a pony ride.
Hide it in your jock, she'll never go there.
I see a few problems here:
1) If you cannot access easily, you cannot practice dry fire.
2) If you cannot practice dry fire, when things get crucial, you are likely to fumble and/or miss.
3) She needs to be educated about the need for a firearm on your person. Show her, daily, nearby violent crime reports. Show her, daily, the NRA’s “Armed Citizen” column, which reports defensive uses of firearms.
4) If she is still resistant, simply inform her that this is the way it is. You will dry-fire practice, and it will be on your person at all times.
5) Either she accepts, or she divorces. Either way is a win.
Having read through the thick and think the 100 posts, and as a long married guy as well as a Christian, I understand the issue of marital disagreements.
I carry 23.5/7/365 and have for most of our 39.8 years of marriage. She knows that I would kill or be killed for her.
In the end, her objections are to be taken seriously, what aversion does she state? As you must know, marital discourse must be resolved by a mutually satisfying solution.
Show her your live and commitment by seeking out her issues and offering solutions.
Has she had bad experiences with violence? From a man who should’ve been a protector? Have you ever scared her past her limit?
Has she been the victim of violent crime?
Women are far too complex for a simple answer. Usually.
Do the foot work and find out her needs, ignore the ball busters, even though in a rough sense(and I happen to be rough man) they are right, but not correct.
Be the leader and not a tyrant. Pray for a solution.
