"Oh I see you made another one of those great investments; I'm so happy for you" That Coach tote bag I've been eyeing is also guaranteed to be a great investment. I'll buy it tomorrow before the value sky rockets ".
It usually starts with "Honey, show them your Dirty Harry gun!" when her friends or her relatives are visiting. Then we have what she calls "Our gun show."
I dont have a lot of years in the hobby so my collection is far less than many here. And i end up with multiple models in the same caliber. My wife and I both work and contribute so we both on occasion will buy something we want. While not affecting the household. The joke has been while she may find my MP's may look the same, so do some of her purses. After 33+ years of happy marriage I can usually get a laugh from her on that line. Usually lol
Just so happens I bought a rifle today online. I went downstairs to watch a movie with my bride of 27 years and told her that I just bought a gun. She replied, "Oh, is that my anniversary present?"
Ha, my wife is usually with me when I purchase a new firearm. She helps me during the hunt at gun shows to find what I am looking for. The one comment she makes now that we are both about to retire is "there is one more thing to get rid of someday."
Left my wife in charge of the table at a gunshow several years ago. A guy came back for a second look at a win 12 trap black diamond. Handed her $2200.00. Now she gets it.
