To many guns and holsters?
Last night my wife told me I have to many guns and holster and that I should get rid of a few. I sat and contemplated this for a few seconds, and remark back (in a stroke of what I thought was genius) would a lady ever say I have way too many shoes?Absolutely not! But instead she would say I need a pair of shoes for various occasions for this colored dress or these pair of jeans, and going out on the town with the girls. Well here is where the genius was. I need a holster and gun for going out to the range, gun and holster for special occasions a, holster and gun for in the woods and one to show off to the boys. So this is why I need all these guns and holsters just like you need all them shoes. Do you think your wife would buy this as an argument for more guns and holsters?

Nope... but to be clear, she didn't agree on most of the other important issues either, hence a well-deserved ex status.

No way in Hell, but its a lot better than some of the lame excuses I've used.
Anything I've ever sold or traded I wished immediately I had back.

You could tell her the guns and holsters aren't nagging. The only thing complaining is a wife so maybe the real problem is too many wives. Larry

I quit buying so many shoes, boots & expensive purses so I could buy more guns. So guess I can't help you.

It would appear that you are attempting to use a rational comparison and logic to win an argument with a woman.
May I inquire as to how long you've been married ?

I got into this conversation with a woman I know. She asked why I needed so many guns. I asked her why she needed so many pairs of shoes. She just said, "point taken" and we moved on to something else.

Sounds like you have one too many wives. I can be a difficult choice in choosing to loose a wife or loose a gun you really like. I don't envy you, your decision.

My wife's complaint has never been that I had too many, but that I had acquired a new one since she did.
But when it comes to holsters, she has never had more than one per gun and that has usually been a basic Hunter model. Her taste in guns is richer than mine...in leather goods, not so much.

My wife claims that she doesn't have that many shoes compared to other ladies. If I had to match her, gun for shoe, I would have many more than her, so I keep quite. Very quite.

My husband got a little tweaked when I had my gun safe installed in his side of the closet, displacing some of his clothes. I suggested he might have too much clothing.
He tries to make me more thoughtful about my firearm acquisitions, which is good.

You can't have too many guns and too many holsters.
It's one or the other.

You can definitely have too many people trying to
tell you how to run your life...

My wife really does not care how many guns I have or the number of holsters. And I don't care how much material see has for her quilting. She will encourage me to fine and go to gun shops when we travel. She does ask me if I need ammo, or brass, or bullets or powder. I reload and do spend a fair amount of money on the about money.
She knows that if I had to sell some guns to pay a bill I would as she would sell one of her many sewing machines.
It's not about the number of guns or shoes it's the enjoyment we get from a hobby.
My wife is not a gun person but is a defender of the Second Admendment and the rest of the Bill of Rights

Same here. We've never had this conversation, but if we did I couldn't compare guns and holsters to shoes and purses either. She only has about a dozen pairs of shoes and about that many purses. So I'd lose that argument hands down.

My wife could not care less. We operate under a "Don't ask-Don't tell" protocol. A few years ago I came home and told her I had bought a new gun. Her response: "What are you telling me for?"
She has no idea how many I have, doesn't care, and can't tell one from the other. She even told me I could sell the Model 63 that I bought her in 1981. That she shot maybe three times. I'm thinking I might trade it for something I can shoot. That thing is too damn small.

I think she would come around to your line of reasoning,......as soon as you give her another gold necklace and diamond earrings.

Some guns depending on what your going to do can get by with just one holster. (Sporting guns)
For concealed guns you need a MINIMUM of two holsters for each gun. You need one in black for formal, and one in brown for semi-formal/ casual.
