List of excuses for your next acquistions

I make stuff, leather goods, wood products, Indian jewelry, custom tomahawks and other stuff and I set up a table at fairs and festivals or I'll do custom work for people. The money I make is mine to do with as I please. If I use it to buy a gun, then my wife can't say a thing about it. Right now though, I stocked up on supplies and I'm making leather products for a Biker, Blues and Barbecue event coming up in June. Once I make enough to get a M&P 40c and more supplies, I'll start searching for it. After I get it my wife can't say anything except, "nice gun."
It's kinda fun watching her trying to figure out a way to complain when there's nothing for her to complain about.

If it's an older gun then just look at her with a wild look in your eye, mussing up your hair if you have any first helps with this one, and tell her it was yours in a previous life and it wanted to reconnect with you.

This only works with the older ones though don't try it with a new one. And don't use it too often or she may try and have you committed or something.:)
 
Sometimes when I feel guilty, I will say I have had it on lay-o-way for 6 months. Most of the time, I don't really care. I had a gun shop call my house sometime back, and tell my wife that I had forgot to sign one of the papers.
 
Sometimes you just have to slip a new acquisition into the safe in secret. When she questions you a few weeks later when you bought the new gun, you're safe to say "Oh, I had that".
 
well i needed it /them. need spares for cowboy or i didnt have that barrell length!
shes actually pretty cool about it ,i try not to spend the milk money, and ive bought guns for her to shoot as well . i tell her its so we have something we can do together.
 
"I need the gun to put these grips on it."

Currently doing that with M1911s. I only "need" one.

But I want one with checkered wood, one with ivory, one with pearl, one with stag, (all "faux" since I am cheap) and of course one in nickel...I now have two in nickel.

Or..."I have one in blue and now I need one in nickel and one in stainless."

Or..."I NEED one of EACH barrel length."
 
Post #2 ~ I visited my LGS yesterday to again look over a Sig Sauer P238 that's been haunting me for the last week. My wife again asked the expected questions but this time I had an answer she wasn't expecting; "It fits so nicely in my pants pocket without the hassel of a holster. You know how concerned you get if someone happens to see a holstered gun strapped to my belt." You know what? It does fit really nice in a pocket :D !
 
I found a model 15 at a local gun show and after hearing the experiences and accuracy of forum members who have one. What did I say, I want a smith with iron sights to shoot snakes. And my charming wife says I thought you already had one to shoot snakes. Yes I do but not without iron sights. Rather convoluted conversation to be sure. So I bought it anyway. Frank
 
I just tell my wife that a man's house is his castle and in this castle I'm the king and she's nothing but a lowly wench. If I feel like buying a gun, she has no say in it. Her only job is to serve me and when I tell her to get me my beer her only response is "yes your majesty."
Man, I hope she never figures out my password.
