My wife doesn't like guns at all, and wants no part of them. But it's a personal decision for her, and she's not an "anti" in the sense that she desires to impose that decision on others, including me. She's also not silly enough to prefer that herself or a loved one die rather than the life of an aggressor be taken. She doesn't give me a hard time for carrying a pistol and owning several long guns. She also does her best to understand (or at least tolerate) my love of hunting, as well as the fact that my son is following in my footsteps in these areas as well. She's just not comfortable with guns given that they are, ultimately, violently deadly weapons. It's simply not in her nature to like such things. No problem. I don't push my own interests on her. As long as the firearms remain mostly out of her sight (which they should anyway if they're properly secured at home) she's happy and we don't have an issue. Seems fair enough, since she doesn't demand that I enjoy decorating shows like she does. Seems like a win-win to me.

Personally, I married a woman because they're fundamentally different from men to begin with, so I can live with a some disparate points of view on a few things like this.
