get a bow first, she said no guns, bow is not a gun, shoot it in the backyard ( if allowed by law) and let her shoot it as well, then tell her guns are more fun, then buy a 22 rifle with her ; side note; please do not buy the vac or dishwasher, that will get you in the dog house
Already had guns when I met the wife to be. She already had kids.
Her concerns where "safe storage" which she could see that I already had covered.
I would suggest that you come up with a plan to let her know how you will deal with that.
Next, took here to the range. Man, the look on her face when she dropped the hammer on the AR15! The M14 ..... She liked it. The way she was treated being a woman on the firing line by all the open minded people there went MILES to how she (see woman's hand book) "felt". All you need is one a-hole on the line that thinks that shooting is a MAN'S sport and you can kiss your chances goodbye. The more women we can get into the shooting sports the better.
Best of luck, don't give up.

My wife did the same thing. she agreed that i could get my pal/rpal then after I got it she said she didn't like the whole idea of guns being in the house and said no guns. I basically told her I didn't spend $275 on a course and another $80 for the license for it too look pretty in my wallet. This was in Aug. So on Tuesday I got rained out at work and got to looking on CGN then touring all the sponsored sites and decided it was time for the first purchase. I had a plan, i looked at the bank account for August and added up all she spent on herself...hair, nails, spa, lunches with the girls at work and her bottles of wine which came to a grand total of $639 for the month. Then I text her the amount and said really? Then i text her hope you don't mind but I'm ordering my first gun. She just text back and said ok...guess she was so freaked out i found out how much she spent on nothing she didn't even put up a fight lol My new Walther P99 should be here next week

Life is too short for other people to tell you what to do.If you want to do something then do it .
Get a good divorce lawyer and you will see it is probably cheaper to split the assets now rather than later.
If she caves and lets you have a gun be assured sometime down the road she is going to shove that gun up your a$$ with some stupid allegation.
Seeing as she lied in the first place how could you ever trust her again?

I don't have anything really useful to say, but I did google "jeep forum dream killer" like mentioned earlier. Its good stuff, you should all read it if you didn't already.

First, thanks to everyone that give advice.
Second, to all that recommended growing balls and just buying a gun, you made a mistake and assumed that I have not bought a gun because my wife said no guns. As I said in the first post, I just passed the safety course. I haven't even applied for my PAL yet. So even if I have balls that dragged on the ground, it's the law preventing the gun purchase.
Third, Mrs. Red has decided that taking the safety course is a good idea for her.
Fourth, until I get my PAL there is little direct action that I can take, but it is good to hear from those who have had this problem. She has seen the trophies and awards I have from the days when I shot but we didn't meet until after I had stopped.

I have never had your problem and hope I never do. The current girlfriend (of 10 years) has no interest in firearms and has been to the range. I have had her shoot shotguns, 22’s, centerfire rifles, handguns, etc. and still not interest what so ever. Now I have had some of her friends and sisters out and they love it. I am sure if their spouses were into firearms they would have a hundred. It’s funny the ladies I have met that take a real interest into firearms their husbands have no interest.
The problem with Mrs. Red is probably the unknown and I am sure when she sees what it about she will either love them or have no interest. Either way when she knows what it’s about she won’t care if you have them or not in the house.
I would also ignore the comments of growing a pair, you know how guys are they like to give you a hard time. And the ones who give you the hardest time are usually the guys who need to grow a pair.

information is the key- why doesn't she want them? It's likely a misunderstanding of why they're dangerous.
Her getting trained is the best start. Then, take her shooting, or even start with videos of people shooting. She'll learn how to do it right, and see how much fun it is. Once you get those in place, and make it obvious how safe it can be, there will be nothing left to object to.
If it's not 'rational' objections, you may wish to reevaluate the argument and figure out what it's really about. It could be control, it could be fear, whatever.
Don't just go out and 'buy all the guns you want'. That's a great way to get yourself divorced. If that's the bottom line, then divorce her first so she doesn't get half the value of them.

So, the law is preventing your gun purchase, interesting thought.
Yes & in fact, as he has stated, he took the course & passed the tests but hasn't actually applied for his PAL yet. As such, his wife (warden) can still KIBOSH his aspirations in the phone interview. I would suggest then that Red tries diplomacy at least until his PAL shows up.
