I am checking my email, and I get this one Flagged as "Priority"; been awhile since I heard from these folks.
Remember you said to never ever pick up and shoot the 28 ga? Especially you said to Never ever let a wife, husband, daughter, son, BF/ GF, even be wary of the dog getting too close to one?
Not my my fault, honest. Really.
Seems hubby gets along with FIL really well, her family hunted, fished, and his wife can hold her own [ read : outdo most guys, showed him up a time or two, or three or...]. Hubby and FIL got to talking about the 28 ga, oh yeah FIL knows all about them 28 ga's , that is HIS pet gauge.
Daughter was busy with College, then Graduate School, Career, then the kids...I guess she forgot to mention to hubby "all" the stuff she still had at the parents house like guns. All this time she and hubby had "aquired" some firearms for "them" , and more specific for "her" - so as to not always be using "his".
Daddy suggested she take some of "her" stuff back home now that she is settled, and they have a nicer house, more secure...Oh and Daddy is gonna to buy them a Gun Safe for their Anniversary/ Housewarming gift.
Wife has quite a few guns. She has THREE 28 gauges alone Hubby has nary a one. She also has a Mec 9000 set up for 28 ga. Hubby has never reloaded shotgun shells.
"Honey, these guns all were fitted to me - they won't fit you". Wife and FIL are grinning and this poor guy has a really sad look on his face. He shouldered the Ruger, the Citori and the 870...dang it, they really don't fit him.
MIL to the rescue " What is that under your feet < he looks at his feet> no under the sofa there?"
Sitting in That Room as it was always called with the gun safe and reloading stuff and the "ratty old sofa your daddy wont get rid of" - is a Green Box. Hubby retrieves the box and inside is a NIB 870 Wingmaster in ...28 ga.
Seems if the hubby doesn't mind if his B-day Gift is about 5 months early.
Wife, head tilt and grin - " Still have more 28 gauges than you do". She says he was too busy putting it together to pay attention.
Somehow this is all my fault?
Somewhere is a fellow who used to live here in my state, since moved away, visiting out of state In-laws, and gets a new 28 ga 870, discovers his wife has quite a few guns and gear of her own, including Three 28 ga guns, will take delivery of new gun safe, and I'm responsible?
Best I recall I only let the fellow shoot my Citori with 28 ga bbls for one round of Skeet back when...I don't get it.
