Uh, am I supposed to tell my wife that I am now a gun owner?
She would not be thrilled. I’ve got the firearms locked up like Fort Knox. I’m wondering - am I the only one on this site hiding his firearm from his wife? (Or spouse whatever. )

Also - I’m trying to think where my ownership might become open. Do they ask at the border? Apparently sometimes doctors in the US ask if the patient owns a gun. Where might gun ownership come up or require disclosure here in Canada?
 
Been a few threads on guys hiding firearms from their wives, usually ends with the wife being more pissed about the lying then the actual firearms.

What do you tell her if you plan on going shooting ? Firearms doesnt come up much only if your open about it. Most people dont understand anything about firearms in Canada.

Maybe you could teach her something
 
Did you have your licence before you were married?
Because your spousal unit has to sign off on your application.
 
Usually i go at lunch so the outings to the range don’t get scrutiny.

And Paatz- she had quickly signed the form many years ago. Getting PAL approval was one thing, at the time she didn’t think big of it. I’m not sure when I renew my PAL how it will go down if I need her to sign again. ...

Agreeed it’s the lying tor lack of transparency that will freak her out. I’m not shy, I have the Veteran coffee and some Black Rifle gear so I get some disclosure credit for that I suppose. Thanks for the help.
 
What else are you keeping from your wife? do you keep them at your girlfriends house? because if you do she will probably be Pissed!

If you want to go the sneaky route tell her your going for your gun license and complete the paperwork again then go away for the weekend and come back saying the course is done....maybe go see your girlfriend. then buy a new gun a few weeks later and add all the guns you already own to the safe....but only if your wanting to be sneaky. Otherwise tell her that you bought some guns, and she will probably tell you about some stuff she bought and that's why the credit card bill is really so high..... or she will divorce you an take you for half of what you own, if so PM me I will take your guns for a good rate to help you out with legal.
 
Surprise her with a getaway to a place she wanted to go and then she can come along and do something you would like to do..... wait for it..............







P.A.L course!

Laugh2

My wife says you are FUNKED at this point. You have lied to her for how long?
The ONLY way out is to lie a bit more (risky as well) and talk to her about buying a gun. Take the one you own (hopefully it's just one at this point) out and bring it home after and TADA you have a "NEW" gun.
Oh and she said pick yourself up some testicles while you're out.
 
Oh Man U guys are funny. Wise and funny.

I guess this forum is not a spousal counsel forum... yes there are a few big things we all hide from our wives. And when I say “we” I mean me.

I tried to get her to the range so she knows about that.

When heavy boxes of ammo arrive and she doesn’t ask questions I mean... do I really need to spell it out?? If she cared to think about why the box weighs so much, who the sender is... that would be hard to explain.

I did once look up “grounds for divorce”. I suppose hiding a gun by itself might be a ground but is there a precedent.

She would probably be most pissed given the kids. They aren’t of age where they could figure out how to break into the various levels of locks I have but once they turn 10 years old there has to be a full course for the kids...

Anyhow thanks For the help.
