Firearms for wedding registry?

I think it's a great idea personally. I'd of course split the list for the traditional folks to get you useless crap you already have or will never use, but as long as the gifts are clearly things that you two do together, go for it.

This*^^^^* ask for visa gift cards.

I think you would be limiting your gifts/ quantities of gifts received. I would say appease the Gods and just go traditional.

Put whatever you want on your registry.. it's your wedding..

get yourself a double barrel, so you can fire two blasts

THIS! ! ! Gift Cards would be a nice touch. This way you're not stuck trying to unload 26-06 and some 16ga ammo no one wants, and you cannot return.

BTW: If you go the guns & ammo way. I'll be happy to donate a 50 round box of factory 9mm. This way EVERYONE knows what to buy, or look for.

Do what you want. If people don't like it they will get you a gift card

Bad JuJu to give a weapon of any kind for a wedding present. I was going to make a set of knives for my sister but I was sternly rebuffed by my mom and informed that it was improper.

I say good for you.

Now if someone surprises you with something, that's another story. But asking for it is kind of weird for me. "Hey, we're getting married, and I like guns. Buy me a gun?" Maybe if it was a Remington 870 or something people would say "oh, they want a home protection firearm. How nice".

This and this. I gave someone a box of hollow point 9mm for their wedding. Turns out the wife didn't know shit about what kind of gun he owned and they didn't even have a 9mm.

I would rather give someone something they will use than a setting or some silver service they'll use 2 or 3 times a decade but make sure you have affordable options. I'm also not buying someone a Larue PredatOBR for a wedding present -- but I could see my way to 200-500 rounds of 5.56 or some new electronic hearing protection or something like that.
