I am remarried now, and before we even made it official that we were boyfriend and girlfriend, we had a very long talk about the things that I/we would never give up. For me, it was my guns, my dogs, and my motorcycle. And if she was against them in any way, we need to end the relationship now before it goes any further. But thankfully, not only is she very pro-gun, but she has her LTC as well. And both of my in-law parents have their LTC, as well as my brother in law. So her entire family is very pro-gun.

If at all possible, this is something that should be addressed before the word marriage is even discussed. However, I'm well aware that some people have been married before LTC was even a "thing." And I have no words of wisdom for those of you in this situation. I just made sure on my current marriage that all of this was discussed before getting into something that was doomed to fail.
You're lucky she didn't ask you to sell off all of your tattoos. :biggrinjester:
She has plenty herself... I wasn't too worried about that ;-)
That was part of the initial attraction. I'm a sucker for a girl with tattoos.
