Wifes and guns

[Sistema1927]

She: "Why do you need another gun?"

Me: "Why do you need another pair of shoes?"

She: " (crickets) "

(This conversation doesn't take place very often, but when it does I remind her that I buy my toys using my "allowance", while her purchases, not just shoes, but everything else that she desires, comes out of the household budget, and that I never veto any expenditure that she wants to make.)

I'm fortunate is that my wife like guns and is a regular shooter/buyer herself.
There has never been an argument when I bring a new gun into the house only a discussion as to when we can shoot it.
I'm a lucky man!

When comparing women and guns the main thing to keep in mind is that your gun never cares if you have another gun.

First time me and my ex of around 27 years did anything together it was shooting.

We had a date that night, and I was having second thoughts, didn't want to waste a Saturday night on a not good time.

Called her earlier that day and asked if she wanted to go shooting, she said yes. First gun she ever shot was a 6" Python. She did really well with it too.

We ended up having a most excellent night.

Or loan it to a friend to use.

I don't show new guns to Itchy when I buy one anymore. I've lost some really nice ones that way.

 

[Xfuzz]

My bride doesn't complain. I never dip into to the family coffers and I never buy a gun on credit.

I buy good deals when I find them, even if its not something I'm looking for. I sell or trade them for something I want. Never pass up a deal.


Same deal here......wife learned early on:
Guns are just another form of cash.

 

[URIT]

My wife and I celebrated our fiftieth anniversary in July. We struck a deal years ago... I stay out of the laundry room and she stays out of my gun room.

She does comment about purchases but I notice a smile when I'm shipping one to a new buyer.

A shooting buddy of mine runs the loading floor at the local ammunition manufacturer. Every 6 - 8 weeks he takes a load of ammo to a dealer about four hours drive away. he always comes back with something new from the showroom.

He reckons his wife doesn't notice what he comes in with and even if she did, she has no idea what guns he owns so he justs tells her it is something he took up for a repair.

About a year ago this dealer had a customer who wanted a particular pistol, one he kew my buddy had and seldom used. He called several times over a few weeks to arrange a trade, and my buddy's wife picked up on the transaction. Come the day my buddy swapped his pistol for a new Tangoglio .40 that was coloured blue. Arriving home his wife asks to see the pistol as she was sick and tired of all the arguing back and forth over the phone that had taken place over the past few weeks.

My mate opens the gun box, she looks inside and says"Very nice".

Some time later my buddy makes another ammmo delivery and buys another gun. This one too is a Tanfoglio and comes in a blue colour.

On reaching home rather late that evening my buddy enters the house. His wife spies the gun container and askes what he has there.

Thinking that she won't know the difference between the two pistols he says "It's that pistol I swaped for a couple of months ago. It wasn't working right so I took it up to be looked at". He then opens the box so she can see the blue pistol.

"That's a different blue colour" she says.

Caught red handed

11/9/2020 was our 29th annv, knew her for 5 years before wedding. First night we met, I told her, I would show you mine if she showed me hers. She pulled out a SW36 I pulled out my PPK. S he is an avid hunter, birds, bear, boar, deer, hopefully an elk hunt for 30 annv. I bought her a Winchester super grade 70 in 338 WM for a planned Brown Bear hunt, then my surg cancelled it. Since we.met I buy 2 of everything. She fished AK with 4" 500 on her hip. A guide asked if she wanted to sit with me on a Black Bear hunt, I laughed and said she was the most dangerous thing in the woods. Many years ago I shot a doe that needed to be finished, she snuck behind it with a knife and took care of it, my 16 year old Godson said "You sleep with her"? She dresses, and butchers all of our game secondary to my balance problem from surgery. She is and will be taken care of Always. Be Safe,

Well, I don't hide guns, fishing tackle, money, checking accounts, nothing from my Wife. She is about 75% of me, and I treasure the 56 years the Lord has allowed us to be together. We have two beautiful Daughters that have families of their own that I love, but my Wife comes before everyone and everything except God.
She knows where the list of firearms is located and everything else of value. If she wants a new firearm she picks it out and handles the paperwork. But, if I could find the right concealed holster that she is looking for I would be her hero for a day.
I gladly open doors, make sure she is warm, pick up things she drops, find her phone if she misplaces it and many other things.

She is a treasure and she knows I love her and respect her and want to take care of her until the end.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

I've mentioned this before. Mrs went to the range with me one time, years ago. After a quick tutorial, I loaded 5 in the mag of my 1911, handed it to her. She put all five in the black at 25 yards. Didn't know whether to be proud or frightened.

 

[Chukar60]

Back in the Stone Age when Mrs. chukar and I resided at poverty flats she cared deeply about money spent on guns. I was allowed one modest purchase a year.
As life progressed and our finances loosened up I started buying and selling guns and made some money doing it. All the excess went into a gun fund. I added to the fund with some discretionary money and over the years the fund has grown.
The gun fund is mine to use and is solely controlled by me.
Thankfully, the Mrs. still seems interested and happy for me when I drag the next gun home. She may be faking it, but god bless her for that.

 

[Grayfox]

My late wife was a country girl. Her father worked his whole life in security. Guns were a common place item to her. While she never got into guns as deeply as I did, she was very familiar and quite skilled with them.
We came to an understanding early in our marriage. As long as the bills were paid and we had plenty of food, any overtime I made was mine to do with as I pleased. I worked a lot of overtime back then and that money built my gun collection. She never said a word.
OTOH: I once made the mistake of letting her shoot my Detective Special. I didn't get it back for over 20 years!

 

[transit]

Every time we leave the house, every time, she says to me:

"You have your gun, your shield, your wallet, your phone, your keys?"

Five points. Every time.

Sometimes, I have forgotten my keys!

I chose wisely.

 

[16thVACav]

This conversation has taken place in our home many times over the years, regardless of the item in question:

"Is that new?"

"What, this? No, I've had it for years!"

One of us pretends to tell the truth, and the other pretends to believe it.

 

[PPS1980]

As far as my wife knows I have 4 weapons: 1 with a spinny thing that you put cartridges into, one with a stick looking thing that holds the bullets, one that you pump and can be taken deer hunting, and one with a telescope on it for reaching out and touching someone. That's my story and I have stuck to it.

NO is the only word my wife knows. Have been driving my Silverado for 13 yrs. Told her it was time to replace it NO was her answer. So I am buying a tricked out Sig P320 and I am going to tell her it's not a truck.
