She’d be a terrific support and backup
Overall my wife would be a liability...
Love her to death, but nah. She is ok with camping in a tent, but beyond that...

Same.
I think I would have her reload mags. And tend to wounds and such. And make sandwiches
My wife is a Veterinarian (DVM). She has stitched me up after accidents, performed minor surgeries on me, and I'm not even going to mention which animal and human antibiotics are interchangeable.
She also grew up on a cattle ranch, and has an extensive knowledge of plant life and growing food. She actually did soils judging in college for fun.
Plus she can shoot fairly well...as in better than the average man. She did a stint as an Army Veterenarian, and got some of the basics down. However with just a few days of working fundamentals, she got a lot better. I have no doubt that she could qualify in the high sharpshooter/low expert range with both rifle and pistol.
Oh, and she let's me touch her boobies too...

Liability. She does alright on the range and we hunt, but not, and call me crazy...for combat. There’s a difference. Animals and paper don’t shoot back. L ambushes, horseshoes, escape and evade, bound and set, contact and move, mounted operations, evasive driving, remedial actions and clearing stoppages under fire, self aid/buddy aid, etc. all topics she and half this forum are unfamiliar with.
Combat mindset is not something anyone can really teach anyone that truly makes sense until you live and experience the value. So outside of technique, and gear, there’s that too.

Liability. But so is about 95 percent of everyone i know.
Ill temper my initial post......
Once the threat is directed at the kids all bets will be off.
She will be as dangerous as any wild animal can be.
My problem wil be Ill be standing there thinking "Hon, You should have been fighting like this when they were on the other side of the wire"

I like the idea of her loading mags and making sammiches too.
She'd probably rock in an over-watch role, but part of me is scared of the "accidental" friendly fire... I'm not trying to have her test the robustness of my Level IV plates... LOL

Mixed bag.
On one hand she'd PID and call out targets on camera.
On the other, she'd bitch about how I was 'being mean' to someone, which after 10+ years, she still hasn't realized that I literally do not fucking care.

Mine would be in her vest laying down support fire while I sniped idiots. She has been trained for stress fire and has seen me beat half to death but covered me and attended to my wounds so I think she will be fine. I pray it never comes to that but prepare for it.
Shit, no disrespect man, but I'd probably choose her over you!
50/50, until someone pissed her off, then... Watch out! She's a great shot, got a mean right cross, and would lay a wide swath of destruction from here to the horizon.
Not that I have any first hand evidence of any of the aforementioned ?

Liability. She is good with her hands and smart, she can handle a pistol or rifle no issue.
She just doesn't have the stomach for what would need to be done. Her main thought would always be with the kids and taking care of them. Don't know if she could have clairity of mind moving forward if something happened to one of them.

Mine would be both.
Great survival instinct, very much in tune with killing for food and defense. Hates almost everyone.
Buuuut she's a redhead, so she looses her shit at inopportune moments and sometimes she doesn't get uncunted in time to get her mind on task in timely fashion.

My ex would've needed a snack before the first mag was emptied. The IBA alone would've smoked her in the first five. I hope she reads this.
Not a spouse, but my brother from another mother and former team mate lives with me and he's worth a 1000 fat wives in a pinch.

Mines also a DVM who works as an ER veterinarian so her medical knowledge while not specifically for humans is still way ahead of mine. That alone assures me she would be an asset.
Mines a liability as well. I even told her that a little over a week ago. I don't watch the news, or tv for that matter, or pay attention to anything really. But 2 weeks ago I told we don't have enough supplies. She basically told me I'm paranoid and am freaking out. To keep things simple, let's us the water for example; she said we have 2 cases of water. I said fucked head, 48 bottles divided by 3 people is only 1 bottle a day for 16 days if shit gets real.
She went on to say that I'm overreacting and she didn't want to think about it. My reply was I'd like to be prepared and these are the kinds of things you need to be thinking about and that she'd be one of the first mother fuckers dead if she didn't get her head out of her ass.
She didn't talk to me for a few days, but I got my point across.
She just doesn't have that warrior mentality, and sadly, neither does my son.

Same here. She is naïve and does not have the temperament to deal with emergencies without flustering and coming close to panic.

Same here, wife is a surgical tech who spends her whole day in the OR fixing shit. She had patched me up a few times and keeps our med kit full of stitch kits and other useful items. And she can shoot. Definitely an asset imo.
Man Im getting all kinds of use out of this pic these days.......lock down is havings its unintended consequences revealing some secret desires.......
Mixed results. Decent shot and all but not someone I’m going to clear rooms with. Makes good chow though, so 6.5/10?
Idk. I voted liability. She cooks, cleans, and puts out but idk if she can even load mags for me.
I voted asset but it’s a 55/45 percentage feeling about it. She was in the marine corps, so I know she can pass a tough boot camp, but her warrior mentality is either gone or laying dormant.
When we go camping or hiking, I sometimes wonder how the hell she passed boot camp lol I could definitely see her being able to spot and provide intel.
As for being in the same vehicle and fighting out of it, I’m much less confident. I’m hoping this whole COVID thing will change that around if it’s not too late.
I tried the mentor style and mean style to motivate her. It takes a mix of both ar the right time.

Started her in comps last year along with #3 kid.
NRL22 and a little local "PRS" style centerfire.
Let here notice the rabbits getting into her garden.
Eye shots are the goal now.

My wife. She is the daughter of a former 10th SFG(A) Sergeant Major. I have had her as my assistant instructor during military training (mountaineering, ice climbing, skiing) as I trusted her above any others. She is a World Champion Action Shooter and former Colorado State Women's Biathlon Champion.
Mine would be an asset once the shit started going down, up to that point she would put no effort in. My youngest daughter however is heartless and can run a bolt gun better than most men.
My wife is a fucking rock star. She has medicinal expertise, and I do not.
I am proficient with firearms, yet she is not.
Our talents offset one another.
LGOWI.

Wife’s got a medical background, so that’s a plus.
But her and firearms, nope. That’s all me.
And when I mentioned going hunting for squirrels...yeah. She wont even touch venison unless I trick her.
50/50?

My ex is an asset. Her ass would just set there.
Asset, without a doubt. My wife runs our farm, schools and raises our children, is survival and tactically minded, teachable and not afraid to get her hands dirty. She doesn't have killer instinct but if our family were threatened she would stop the threat. She understands that there are times when violence is the answer, and she would SS&S right beside me.
