Thinking further on some of the ideas provided in this thread. Maybe you should continue into the LE/Criminal Justice field.
First, follow where your degree will take you. Get established and take care of your yourself and your family. At the same time, continue some part time work as a Gunsmith. Attend as much Gunsmith schooling as you can. Your employer may even pick up some of the costs of a Gunsmith education.
Once you have more experience, begin transistioning into the Gunsmith/Weapons field within LE/Forensics. With that type of specialty your pay and benefits should be decent.
