when your wife does not understand

[Brains]

My wife understands buying guns, even holsters to a lesser degree but reloading equipment and supplies? "Didn't you just buy three boxes of bullets?" Yes baby but there are different styles and different calibers. "Well three seems like a lot, you should use them up first"... "How many of those are for my gun?" Well none honey that's why I need more "So why didn't you buy me some? .

My wife got me an XL650 as a present

Went shooting with Moonpie, EZ and Blue Angel a while back. My wife shot EZ's PMR 30. I could tell by the look in her eye I would be buying one soon. I did not anticipate it would be the next day. All morning and into lunch: "how much is that fire-ball gun I shot last night?"

While eating lunch I found a place that had one, less than a mile away. "do they have a holster for it?" They did.

I never had problems buying guns with her. One advantage of marrying a woman with 6 brothers.

My wife only got me a Golden Boy I'd been eyeballing. Sometimes they surprise you and you're happy you didn't off them the last time they bought a $30k car while you were at work.

*shrug* Since I've been married, I've never been given grief over any of my purchases.

Edit: Sorry, never mind.

What caliber is that?

 

[MetalCutter]

I met my wife through shooting, so she can't bitch too much. Kidding aside, I visited a gun store today while she waited in the car. She was actually dissapointed when I walked out empty handed. "There wasn't anything you wanted in there?" Had to explain the "want it" versus "afford it" principle.

What caliber is that?

So far only .45ACP and 9mm.

 

[TxStetson]

What caliber is that?

Whatever caliber he wants it to be.

Because I'm trying to save money on the expensive ammo so I can spend more money on YOUR ammo, honey!

I just told my wife all five of my kids need their own AKs, ARs, pistols, shotguns, and .22s. So now I get to buy all five of pretty much every gun. I can't tell if she really loves me, or is just trying to get me to give her a reason to leave me.

I just point to the gazillion shoes shes never wore since before I've met her of the dozen 3 to 500 dollar purses she owns.

My wife has never once batted an eye @ anything I purchased nor have I at hers. I'm pretty sure the wife understands the value in my collection & also will out live me, rendering it hers.

This is appropriate for some.

Mine is cool with it.
She knows its my “thing” and never complains.
I can’t understand the shoe thing she does.

There are very few guns in my safe that are worth less than I paid for them.

So, when I buy a gun, I don’t look at it as spending money. I view it as converting the cash into a different form of currency.

While watching TV or movies with guns I play name that gun with my wife. When she gits it right I ask her what the one in the safe is worth.

I'm gett closer to wanting to sell some guns. I was talking with a Montgomery County Constable over the weekend & he says it sounds like he can help move most of what I have.

My wife asked me why I don't find a cheaper hobby. I told her 23 year blondes are probably more expensive..

A month later she gave me a couple C notes and a phone number. Didn't work out; she was too old at 24.

So can TGT, why do you need a constables help?

Why can't guns chose their own caliber?

We were just sitting around talking about guns & NFA. I was telling him about selling off most my 40 mm grenade collect & he asked why I sold them. That led to what else I wanted to sell. I named a few & everything interested him.
