However, is your marriage weak enough that if for some reason you brought home another dog anyway, that you're husband would leave you? I'm thinking that's why people are calling it a problem with the marriage instead of the gun. If my wife buys something that I was against, I'd be mad - but I wouldn't leave her. I can't stay mad at her for more than an hour.
On top of that - she was okay with a shotgun, just not a handgun. I (barely) see why, but to be honest, they both can be just as deadly (and the shotgun even more so). That being said - I think it would be more like your husband saying you can't have a poodle, but he's okay with you getting a black lab. You show up with the poodle and he leaves you. I'm thinking it was a rocky relationship in the first place.
