Reason, to get a higher paying job. Problem, GF of 11 years with our two kids. She the GF does not like guns. Allows me to get said gun for work and range, but will not let me CC.

How can I get her to let me CC to protect me and my family when we go out or whatever? She thinks because she and I have lived almost 40 years with nothing going on that going to Wal-Mart is safe. I tried telling her you can become a victim anywhere, she thinks I'm nuts.
 
Guess she thinks you are still the big strong "kick ass" take on "all comers"guy from 20 years ago. Bet if someone was attacking one of her kids she would think nothing of splattering his brains with a baseball bat. That must be way different then stopping the attack with one well placed shot!:wacko:

You carry a pistol at work? Because you may have to defend yourself?
You might have to defend yourself when not at work?
Your GF, is probably worried about many things. Take it slow. Keep communicating.
No reason to get rid of her. Especially if you two have children together.
 
She won't allow you to do something? Does she lay out your clothes for you, too?
 
Maybe we are looking at this wrong.. Gary, Is she pretty good lookin' and really, really rich? :biggrin:
 
She couldn't be pretty enough or rich enough for her to "allow" me to get, have or carry any gun I wanted to! Grow a pair and make it clear WHO is in charge, that YOU are the "man of the house"....unless you aren't!:sarcastic:
 
Gary,

Do you ever take her shooting with you? It seems to help remove the demonetization of guns. Guns are just tools of hunting, self defense, competition. They are items to be respected. Learning firearm safety and how to shoot seems to help remove the fear.

Good luck, be patient and remember the decision to CC is personnel and yours to make.

Wolf, and JJ, shame on you. This man has a family, and actually communicates with his GF. Knock that crap off:mad:

No, Ice, I'm deadly serious here. I have a family and I'm sure they would agree that I communicate with them. What I communicate about this issue is, however, that my position in non-negotiable. Just the way it is. I have the leadership role in protecting my family so it's my way. Has worked for a, so far, successful 30-year marriage.
 
So, the little woman puts up a fuss about a gun?
She has no right to do so because why? Because you say so? Because you have a pee-pee?
What do you do when the bitch gets out of line?
Slap her around some? Call her names? Take her shoes? Make her feel bad?
Control her?
Let her know who is boss?

Hey boys, it is 2010. Wake up.

Women have rights.

It's not 1957, and your not Ward Cleaver.
 
Iceman, yes she has rights. Apparently she has the "right" to tell him how to dress.

And, why'd you call his GF a B*^@# ?

I don't think the OP would call his GF that. That was directed at the cave men.

Regarding her rights, she has plenty. They share a home. Vehicles. Even a couple of children. A firearm in their presence is a big deal.

My advice is for the OP to work with his GF.

Not treat her like she is his servant.

It is 2010. Wake up.

As you may have already figured out from the above responses, you are not going to get alot of good advice from some of the troglodytes here. Like Iceman said, communication and I might add education is key. People tend to fear that which they do not understand. Has she been to the range with you?
 
I carry CC alot and my wife doesn't always know. If you're CC, and doing it right, she shouldn't know either. No matter what anyone says, YOU NEED TO DO WHAT YOU THINK IS RIGHT. Not what anyone else thinks.

I have spoken

:blink:
 
She is a b!@#ch. No matter what I tell her, she is total against me cc. I think she lives in a fansty world. I told her today stright out, that she deserves something bad to happen, because she wont let me carry to protect us.

If I push the issue with her, I may get kicked out, I'm not sure I want to push it that far. BUT I want to CC, and I dont want her to say sh!@T about it.

I'm lucy as it is, cause it's in the house. And no, she will not go to the range, she hates guns.
 
It sounds like you guys have great communication in your very successful relationship. I wonder if she truly knows how important firearms and more importantly, carrying firearms is to you?

If I were to have one suggestion... it would be to somehow, get her shooting!
