Wifes and guns

[andy52]

I told my wife I was going to post this one to the forum.
After almost 50 years being married she really only gives me the stink eye occasionally when I buy a gun, but she took the cake today and I burst out laughing when she did.
A forum member had a WTB for a model 29 and I just happened to have just what he was looking for. Wasn't a gun that I had a great affinity for just a ANIB 29. Long story short we made a deal for the gun. Meanwhile back at the ranch I tell my wife this morning I'm selling the gun and she starts complaining about me doing that and I just started laughing and said " you complain when I buy one now your complaining when I sell one". I'm going to have to start checking my food I think she's thinking how much she can make after I'm gone....

Wives are often puzzling. Women overall vary a lot.

I'm happily divorced, but some marriages do better, the really lucky ones.

Good luck on your sale.

Maybe she's afraid you sold one gun to buy another?

Maybe she's afraid you sold one gun to buy another?

She pretty much knows that's going to happen..

Not a highjack, but a note about a wife, (I've only had one).

She has her own small collection of firearms, a 44 mag, nice detective special, and a couple of carry firearms. She don't complain about mine.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

Reminds me of the old joke about the guy who tells his friend about the wake-up-in-a-cold-sweat nightmare he had: his wife sold all his guns for what he told her he paid for them.

Mine never says much when I buy one. We don't try to control each other's spending, but we're smart enough to live within our means.

My wife usually makes no comment when I buy another gun. But she did hit me for buying he a second string of pearls! That was late 1999, right before Y2K. I told her she was getting a generator and snowshoes for Christmas. (I already had 2 generators!) Our son was home on leave, and still laughs every time she has pearls on around him!!

I have learned that what I do is unimportant. There will be complaining in any event whatsoever. The complaining is an end in and of itself and apparently essential under all circumstances.

The complaining is an end in and of itself and apparently essential under all circumstances.

Hmmm. Never knew that. No wonder I live alone.

We just call it whining around here. We both take our turns at it.

Told my wife which revolver I
Want to be buried with.She told me
how much ammo I will have.
Do not fire till you can see whites
Of their eyes.

Wendy came with her own fine and quite sizeable collection of firearms so guns, no problems from her side.

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.

On a couple of sad occasions I went to the safe and sold off several to cover some shortfall. Easy come, easy go.

I'm so blessed with mine

We've all had our awkward moments with the wife about firearms purchases, sometimes humorous. I just hope that if I pass on before her she doesn't sell my gun collection for what I told her I paid for it.

My wife never complains about me buying a new gun... as long as she gets dibs. :?

 

[GypsmJim]

Every time I buy a new gun the wife says "why do you need another one". I explain its one I don't have and she just says hummph. Then I say "why do you need 7 horses, you can only ride one?" She says I love them all.

When I finally sell a gun she says "Don't sell it you love that gun". I say "well I don't need it any more and I want to take the $ and buy another".

Last year I spent a bundle on stuff for my boat. I told her I only spent half of what she spends a month on her horses." She said its OK, buy whatever you want."

50 years next June....she's a keeper.

It took me three tries before I found one that gets the whole gun thing. She's got a few of he own and she is a good shot, especially with an M-16. Here w/ family on a quail hunt and target shoot.

My wife doesn't say a word when I buy one and in fact she bought me a few over the years. Over the last 10 years I've actually sold more than I bought. I've still got plenty but decided to get rid of some of the ones I never used.

I just hope that if I pass on before her she doesn't sell my gun collection for what I told her I paid for it.

I wouldn't care if mine did. After all, I'll be gone. But I can only hope that she sells them to friends.
