[QUOTE="okie362, post: 3021761, member: 6818"] Similar story here with my first wife. When we married I had just moved off base and into an apartment so had literally nothing to my name except my uniforms, my truck and a few civilian clothes. First time we went home I gathered up a few things I knew I would need which included 2 rifles and a shotgun for hunting in Utah where I was stationed at the time. She evidently didn't see them as they were loaded into the truck and tucked behind the seat for safe travel wrapped in blankets. Upon arrival and unpacking, she "became aware" of their presence and quite emphatically made the statement that she "would not sleep in a house with guns". I looked at her with what must have been the most puzzled face in the world and said, "I understand and I'm sorry you feel that way." Stood the guns in the corner of the closet, walked to the bed and pulled off the blanket and her pillow and handed them to her. Now she had the puzzled look on her face and asked, "What's this?". My response, "We're in Utah and it gets cold on the porch. I want to make sure you are as comfortable out there as you can be because these guns are NOT going out into the weather." We had other disagreements over the next 20 years we were married but never over the guns. [/QUOTE]
