So, My Wife's 45 Year Old Visiting Nephew Sits At The Table And Asks Me.....

I like "crows" use of reverse psychology on the wife when looking at a gun. Brilliant!

My wife and I got along fine with my gun hobby from the start. When we met she had very little gun experience and wanted to learn so we spent time together shooting. She used to go shooting with me a lot, less often now but still does sometimes, mainly her own guns but will still try anything I've brought. We've both slowed down a bit over the years.

I guess I was lucky in who I found because she never cared much what I bought gun wise. So long as the bills were paid she was fine with it. She also used to surprise me with guns for my birthday and Christmas, she had a knack for finding out what I was interested in at various shops and surprising me with it. That kind of went away after I went full time into the gun business though, then it was like "you're handling guns every day, just buy what you want LOL". I chose well (and thankfully she still seems to feel the same!).

I use the walk in the door “look what I brought you” phrase as well. Always get “yeah, right” and a passive glance at whatever it may be.
A number of years ago she said she was going to the range to shoot some of her guns. I told her to have fun and be safe. Don’t forget to clean them when you get back. Don’t remember where she went but it wasn’t to the range.
On the plus side she does go with me a couple times a year though and is actually a darn good shooter in just about all platforms.

So when she went off on the "range trip" did she come back with a lot of cash?

Luckily my wife doesb't care...course I had a gun shop for 40 years...I've bought 2 gins and 16 poubds of powder lately...for 900 bucks......a 336 in 35 Rem and a C grade 870 trap..Powder was all Uique couple of Bullseye and 2400. ...sold most of the powder for 25 a pound. Momma thinks I'm making money

Don’t remember but most likely she was lighter than when she left the house.

One of my old hunting buddies got married. Then he had to sell all his hand guns. Then he could only hunt with her dad. Then they moved away. Have not seen or heard from him in 30+ years. Miss him.

When I buy a new gun my wife complains that we don't go shooting any more.

She forbade him to communicate with you too! He has probably been divorced at least 29 of those years. People who marry other people, with the idea of remolding them into something that they are not, usually fail. Of course I know of an exception that proves the rule...My best friend from my school days has been henpicked and dominated for 55 years; he seems to thrive on it. Poor guy.
