Wow.
Just remember...You picked her.
So I finally get enough money to buy a handgun...a Ruger P95 9mm, after having to sell my other guns (except for one shotgun) three years ago when we fell on hard times, and she is giving me total crap. Now I'm not saying we don't have some other problems in our marriage, but damn I think I'm with the wrong woman!
I got a good rifle for my wife.
Good trade.

Woah there bucko, that changes everything. We talk about being willing to die or kill for our kids here and we generally mean it. The same goes for doing anything it takes to make the marriage work, anything, just for your daughter.
Statistics do not bear this out. Having a difficult marriage puts that girl in a better place than a divorce hands down. Yeah, sucks now, but guess how bad it will be when some other guy, a far, far worse guy is raising your kid for you, and putting her future out of your hands.
And as for having guns? Divorce/Separation is the fastest way to having no guns at all thanks to Lautenberg. Guaranteed.
Keep your eyes on the prize, make it 15 more years, and save your kid.
Sure, there may be a day you need a gun, but without question every day your daughter needs you!
Hang tight, please, for her.
I'll admit that I didn't read all of the post between alpha and omega, but if she hated guns, what did she say about the ones you had when you first got together. Perhaps she is angry that after "hard times" you went out and made a major purchase without talking about it? She wasn't harping on you about the shotgun was she? If you're in it together, then things are a whole lot better...So I finally get enough money to buy a handgun...a Ruger P95 9mm, after having to sell my other guns (except for one shotgun) three years ago when we fell on hard times, and she is giving me total crap.

Yes, yes, and more yes.
The one most statistically important factor for all kinds of positive outcomes for children is having a father in the home. Notice I didn't say "two parents" which is also important. Not one major thing has a more positive outcome on children than a father in the house.
