You know you married the right woman when you're cleaning out the safe, have them spread ALL OVER the bed and she says, "You don't have nearly enough yet, what's on your list to buy next?"

LOVE!!:D

Lets hear your, "You know you married the right woman when...."

My fiance, until recently, was a borderline "nasty ol' gun" type, (too much CSI Miami, I reckon).

When she was 10, her drunken uncles (OY!) decided they'd, "Teach the...(hic)...teach the...(hic)...li'l thang to shoot a gun...here, hold my beer..."
So they handed this lttle 10 year-old girl a 7mm MAGNUM REMINGTON 700 and had her touch it off. Not even any eye or ear protection. F-in' idiots.

You know the rest. Associated shooting with pain and fear for the rest of her life.

...Until...

Took her to my club's range with a couple of .22 handguns, a couple of .22 rifles, along with the .45acp Marlin semi-auto carbine I'd gotten her this last Christmas and a PAST strap-on recoil pad for her first experience with the carbine, along with some eyes and ears, of course.

Went through the mechanics, basic principles, and drilled The Four Rules 'til they were memorized.

A stack of paper plates with big ol' spots in the middle from a magnum black Sharpie at 25 feet later, she's in total agreement that it's the most fun you can have with your clothes on. She no longer fears the rounds going off, feels completely empowered and in control of the weapon in her hands, and the chick can just flat SHOOT!

Fell in love mith my '84-vintage Ruger MKII Standard 6+7/8" bbl.
Decided she wanted to adopt it for her own. I said, "Great! But I really like that gun."

Her reply?

"Well, I'll buy you a new one if you give me this one, 'kay?"

Huh???? Hmmm...always been curious about the 5" Target model .

Bought the aformentioned Target model, gave her the choice of either. Love my new Target model. Currently shoots high but tight.

She didn't like my M-17 8+3/8" no-dash or 617-6 4" at all. Thank heaven for that. :-)

Now she wants us to go out and shoot every weekend. Danged ammo shortage...Grrr.

Overall experience tickled me so much that I'm even willing to take apart the MKII to clean it for her...for now.;-)

Only-est woman whose cooking I like better than my own. Thing is, she won't let me do it anymore. She loves it and sees it as her responsibilty.

To hell with hittin' the Powerball.
Methinks she's the one, folks.

May you all be as lucky as I've turned out to be.

This was her idea from when we first moved in together 5 years ago and rented a house. We have since married and bought a house about 2 years ago.

We both contribute equal amounts to our joint account for the mortgage,utilities,groceries and such for the house and the basic things. We each cover our own bills such as car payment,vehicle ins,credit cards and such. As long as everything is covered whatever we each have left over is ours to do with what we want.

She is a great cook,loving wife,spoils me like crazy, loves my daughter and grand kids,tolerates my ex,she is also my in house tech support for this computer.

Last year an unfired 4" 624 was available on here her response was "get it if you want and can afford it". I did along with a couple of those single action anniversary ones.
Yes I found a great one in her and she is not up for trade and all her sisters are Happily Married.

My wife helped move in the new safe today. Moved furniture and piano, dusted and swept, helped level and shim, and cooked a great supper.
Best of all she helped furnish the two strapping sons that did the heavy lifting on the safe and the piano. What a wonderful wife.
 
man I wish my wife would say that....well theres still at least a chance, I just need to tell her I'll get her a .270 first
 
"You know you married the right woman when...."

. . . she says, " we need to buy another gun or two for the house, you know, so you can leave the nice ones in safe."

Gotta appreciate a woman with practical sensibilities and her priorities in the right place . . . . :D
 
You are going to a gun auction and the wife hands you 5 $100 dollar bills as you go out the door and says "You might need this."


Since you did not buy anything, you hand the money back, and she says, " What about the gun show next week end?"


She is a good cook, and can out shoot me, I think I am gonna let her keep me.
