You're Not Buying Anymore Guns

She does not bother me on the gun hobby buying. Heck we are married 45 years and she was out target shooting with me when we were dating, and in late 1970s she got her own unrestricted carry permit.

She will on occasion ask me if there is any more room in the safe as we really do not have room to put in another safe.

Not only does she not bother me about gun purchases she has been asking (hinting) to me that now the C7 Vette is out there when I am going to sell my 07 and get a new one. Yes she has sisters but they are all married!:)

Uh... not gonna answer that. But, when asked "How many guns do you need?" My stock answer is always "just one more".

You could always come back with do you need another purse or pair of shoes, just make sure you are agile enough to dodge the flying objects...
 
My wife is actually pretty good with me buying guns. I was admiring a gun on GB the other day and she said "why don't you buy it if you want it". But truthfully now that I'm older I've really almost stopped buying and have sold most of my safe queens. Now unless it's something I know I'm going to shoot regularly or carry, I'm not buying more. I guess I would feel differently if my son had any interest in guns. Leaving a bunch of guns behind for my wife to figure out what to do with them is not what I want to do.
 
My wife is very cool.

On the Kelly File last night, the story of M855 being banned comes up. The wife asks if we need it. I tell her we have two 600rd cases of Fed and some Xtac too. She tells me that's not enough. :)
 
If you buy right, it doesn't take much convincing to get the "investment concept" across. My very intelligent wife, who is not a clothes horse, figured out long ago that a $400 gun two years later is a $500 gun and a $300 dress two years later is $25. On the other hand, I have a friend whose wife has never figured that out.
 
Most of my handguns have a little wheel that spins, and most of my long guns have this lever thingy that loads it. That's what my guns look like to my wife. Thankfully, she doesn't know one from the other.

However, I do have her permission to buy whatever gun I want, with only one requirement: it has to be a good investment.
 
My wife doesn't complain about me buying guns anymore, she saw a Colt DiamondBack .22 just like mine at a gunshow with an insanely high price on it. She asked what I paid for mine, I told her. That was the last time she complained.
 
I'm lucky that all my wife cares about is that she has a roof over her head, warm in the winter, cool in the summer and has cable TV. We've been married thirty four years now and if she ever came out with a demand that I not buy more guns or anything else it would be interesting.
 
We never discuss it. She asked me one time how many guns I own and I told her I didn't know. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.
 
I keep it simple. I only buy guns that I would never sell :)
 
I honestly don't know. I find that, invariably, when I have lived with a woman for a while that when she talks it starts to sound like the teacher on Charlie Brown. Thus I try to just grunt occasionally.
 
My girlfriend said I am not allowed to buy another gun until I buy her an engagement ring first. This doesn't include the Sig P229 I have on layaway. :D

On the other hand, the day we get married her Dad's giving me his entire gun collection (he's practically blind). My gun collection will increase on our wedding day by at least 15......we know he has at least 15 firearms, but probably more.
 
I just tell my wife that a man's house is his castle and in this castle I'm the King. She's just a lowly serving wench.
What I say goes, her only reply is, "Yes your Majesty." When I send her for a beer she's to present it to me on bended knee, bowing her head and saying, "Here your Majesty."
If I want to buy I gun, she has no say in it. Her only reason for existence is to serve me.

Man I hope she never figures out my password.

If I should ever suddenly disappear you will know I tried talkin' to Miss Pam like that. I don't think she'd kill me but it would be a couple of weeks before the swelling went down and my vision cleared and maybe a month or so I'd be back on solid food. :eek:

Pro'lly won't happen though. After 44 years I know how and how not to run my mouth when she is in ear-shot.

And I'm just guessin' here but I'd bet that your wife doesn't read this site.
