Firearms for wedding registry?

In my opinion, it's tacky to ask for hobby type stuff. Like camping gear, or baseball gloves, or a telescope. You're starting a new life together, people want to buy you dishes and household items and stuff.

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".

I don't like asking for any gifts, and I felt guilty about getting any of the wedding gifts we got. If you've already got everything, you don't need anything.

Whatever you do, go to that bakery in Denver and get a gun cake.

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.
