Anyone here into firearms?

NFA items make up a pretty small percentage of the firearms I own. I'd have many bigger things to worry about in the unlikely event of a divorce.

There are advantages to trusts, but not many of them apply to me to the point where I see it as worth the hassle. Just as easy for me to send in the Form 1. I'm still using passport photos I had shot 4 years ago, my fingerprints are electonically stored at the Sheriff's office...all I need to do is ask them to print me a couple of copies, and the Sheriff is a friend so getting him to sign it is simple.

Since when is divorce "unlikely"? I mean, everyone things "My marriage can't fall apart." But lets me honest...noone plans on it.

Nice setup you have! I dunno, man, I simply do everything with a "divorce is likely if marriage occurs" mindset, both in little and small things, and it all adds up to a life that is pretty secure and well thought out.

I guess we all have different assessments of the risks in our lives. Regarding divorce, we've been married for 30 years, and even if divorce were to become likely, the personalities involved are such that vicious contention over the firearms is pretty far down the scale of things I'd worry about. YMMV.

I trust relationship partners about as much as I trust a cheap gas-station condom. Women lie, cheat, and steal. The less risk you can allow them to present, the better.

Our respective experiences and views on the subject appear to be quite different.

Apparently so. I work around women all the time (critical care nurse), and I get to see the crap they pull. Why should I have a wife of my own when I can borrow yours, so to speak? You can get the bitching and do the buying and I'll take care of the bangin'!

I don't screw around with my married co-workers, but I've gotten plenty of open invitations to do so.

I know how they think and how that works and how naive their husbands are to think otherwise (or are they just cool with it and turn a blind eye?)

Personally, I am NOT naive (I used to be), and I am not going to turn a blind eye on someone who could hurt me with their actions (STD's, kids that aren't mine, etc.)

YMMV.

FWIW, I have yet to meet a man that says "Yeah, she's screwing around on me."
Nope. It's always "My wife wouldn't do that/isn't doing that."
There are no guilty people in prison, so to speak. If everyone's spouse were as faithful as they thought, I wouldn't have any offers, lol.
