A moment with my wife (or "But honey, this one goes to 11..)

[MrPeter]

(well soon to be wife since we found out yesterday she is expecting).

Congratulations are in order?

'That said, even though my last girlfriend was very conservative, for some reason she didn't really like guns, and she really didn't like me buying them.
I'm not sure I'll find my soulmate in washington, except maybe that girl behind the counter at sportman's warehouse. She carries an SP101. My kind of girl

I keep tellling my wife of 36 years, "Hon, it's (gun purchase) like putting money in the bank!"

 

[RockyMtnTactical]

You cannot have just one "Zombie" weapon... C'mon now...

 

[JLStorm]

Explain to her that it is much easier to kill zombies at a distance.

Dont forget to mention how much gas you would save by using a gun instead of a chainsaw!

 

[vis-à-vis]

Haha. Good post, I cracked up laughing.

 

[BobTheTomato]

Hehe....the Zombie part made my day.

I've got a T1 connecton to the net at work so I do all my buying/drooling there not at home so wife knows nothing except we keep having Christmas every month as the UPS trucks come up the hill to our place. My safe is full, there are stashes all over the house and my wife leaves me plenty of space to do my things. She works and makes a good income, I do alright too and I pay all the bills while she buys the groceries. We each have play money and she buys orchids and trys to raise them. They keep dying and I keep quiet. Works for me.

Funny post. Just last night I told my wife I'm "saving for" a.k.a. "buying" a new rifle. I'm getting an M1A and figured something that expensive I would give her a heads-up. I never disclosed how much they are now, but told her that the prices keep going up and I'd better get one now before the prices go up again, and if I had only bought one back when I was 18 and they were 600 bucks It would not have been an issue. She said nothing.

in the darkness of the safe, the guns will mate and multiply out of sight and out of mind.

This is sooo true. I swear...

I talk to my wife about all gun purchases. She understands most of them. I am waiting for an XCR right now, she even knows what the ACOG for it will cost. I am also waiting for another CZ52 to be shipped to me, not quite as pricey as the XCR.

Even knowing that I have spent this money on guns, and will spend more on optics, when I spotted a gun in the pawn shop the other day, one that I have been looking for, she said "go ahead". I was able to come home with a barely used Ruger M77 with a tang safety, red buttpad, and chambered in 220Swift.

Of course, I am now commited to a jewelery auction in Idaho at the end of July, she will get whatever she wants.

It's just the way it works in our house.

the wife and I seem to have a ratio system going. lets see. at the moment. I have... 3 pistols (all autos, she doesn't like autos) and 1 rifle. anything she doesn't like is mine.

she has, uhm, 7 rifles, 4 pistols and 2 shotguns

it seems to work.

 

[Im283]

Hey Aries, are Mr Smith and Mr Wesson officiating?

 

[Aries-]

mrpeter, my GF likes guns well enough likes shooting them and such. seems a little concerned about them being in the house. but has accepted it will be a part of life.

im283 when i get the money (it was totaly un expected and as such im out of a job at the moment and she is only working till sept) so if its anything it will be something small.

 

[KnightHawk67]

Hehe,
My wife cant tell the black autos apart either, therefore I have only 1 in her eyes.

 

[Piedmont Plinker]

com to think of it, pax, werewolves would be a good reason tog get a full reloading setup
"Honey, when the werewolf apocolypse occurs, we're gonna need silver bullets, and no manufacturers load 'em"

 

[Omaney]

Careful Cannonball!! Maybe NSFW

I made a bet some years ago with She Who Must Be Obeyed. She says Hillary Clinton will win the White House in 2008. If so, I buy her a diamond tennis bracelet. If not, she buys me a set of custom Pings. I have since amended this to a new M1A and she no longer wants the bracelet but probably something MUCH more expensive. I cannot wait to shoot that beautiful new rifle!!

I just ordered a custom .50 caliber flintlock pistol fancy maple stock etc....for my wife.
She said she needed a flint pistol to carry with her flintlock .50 caliber rifle instead of her caplock pistol.We also have the assorted modern firearms that are hers,mine and ours...

 

[Cpl Nobbs]

Zombies, WereWolves, Vampires, Mutant Ninja Bears, and Aliens.

if someone made a proper size mold for silver bullets (silver shrinks as it cools) I would buy one just to make "in case of WereWolf. Break Glass" cases. (little box with a glass front and small hammer with a Silver .50 BMG n it)

 

[Phaetos]

My wife gave me one restriction when buying guns.

"You can buy whatever you want, as long as the bills get paid this month."

Seems more bills get paid then I get guns

 

[Mantua]

I tried the zombie excuse the other day. She asked if i was dumb . So i told her i was buying her a cannon rebel digital camera. Turns out that camera is $50 more than the gun i'm buying, so i guess it evens out.

I just need a couple of zombies to pop up in West Virginia to justify buying a long gun and I'm set for life.

 

[Phaetos]

I just need a couple of zombies to pop up in West Virginia

Go to Wal-Mart .. sure to find a few

 

[ZeSpectre]

Nah, all the zombies are in Congress.

 

[TCB in TN]

Explain to her that it is much easier to kill zombies at a distance.

In addition guns are more eco friendly than chain saws, and you are just trying to protect the planet, just remember it is for the children.

Money doesn't buy happiness!

You are correct there, but I can tell you that poverty sucks.

"You said the chainsaw was for zombies?"

<dies laughing>
