I got bit by the gun bug this past January. I've bought seven various fireams so far and was able to justify each one to my wife. Just for the record, she does not consult with me on her all of purchases. I told her about the Bodyguard .380 I have on layaway (I need it for Summertime pocket carry).
This morning I finally found my Ruger SR1911 for under $600.00 and I just could not wait any longer.
I'm thinking just keep it locked up - take it to the range, enjoy it and eventually the wife will forget how many we have - she might not even be certain how many we have now. But I've been married 20 years and have a great relationship - don't want to violate her trust. Funny thing is - she's the one started reading up and researching SHTF scenarious and convinced me we should exercise our RTKABA. Since then, I have only gotten her to shoot her Ruger GP100 once at the range. She says she is busy doing other things but wil leventually get her CCW, like I did. If she gets the CCW, maybe I'll give her the BD 380 for her purse (yeah, Iknow there's folks out there think that's not a good idea, but that's another thread)
Interested to hear from anyone who is in a similar situation, how did they deal with it - would they do it again?
