Mrs. Monk wants an EBR...

[Felonious Monk]

So we're decompressing this evening, curled up on the couch and allowing our brains to be sucked dry by the magic box with the moving colors and sounds. Commercial comes on for some big gun store down here (Gawd I love AloBAMmo!) and they show an AR-15 of some flavor on the wall.

Mrs. Monk looks up, says "you know, honey, I sure LOVED shooting those in Basic Training. It's a SHAME you're not allowed to have one as a civilian."
Can't fault her. Mrs. Monk is far too busy to keep her finger on the pulse of gun laws. She has her CCW, is unashamed about being a shooter in conversation with her friends, and has even expressed a desire to shoot some bowling pin matches. Yep, I'm a blessed man.

So anyway, I mention "Ummm...sweetheart, I can't get you one that you can set to 'rock n roll', but it'll do everything else just about exactly the way you remember."

Her reply? "How soon can you get me one?"

She wants one. Can you BELIEVE IT? I am married to a woman...a big, blonde, mother of three...who wants an evil black rifle.

So it's the season to pause and reflect on the good things in our lives.
And very close to the top of that list is my Hoplophile honey.

Just thought you'd want to know.

Nice! Now just talk her into a High Power service rifle match and you are all set, with "Honey let's do something together" line.

Sounds like you need two. His and her's. Great Christmas gifts. Enjoy and Sounds like you chose a great wife.

Felonius Monk, get thee unto a gun store, and make great haste.

And there, shall ye lay the plastic upon the counter, saying "Blessed be the name of Eugene Stoner and bring forth unto us the rifle of evil blackness."

And then shall she take up the rifle of evil blackness, and it shall be good, and then shall there be great rejoicing in the house of the Monk as ye make a joyful noise unto the rifle range.

Amen........


Do it right now. Remember, you're doing it for the chillllllllllll-drennnnnnnnn....

Hillbilly,

That is the greatest post of the 21st century. I've never REALLY spit coffee on a monitor...
until today.

Merry Christmas,
Monk

Better get your own. I doubt she will let you borrow hers.

 

[Litlman]

Cool!!! See if you can get a deal on two! How do I get your wife two talk to mine? I would like to get her one of those cute little M-fourgeries...

 

[Felonious Monk]

Wimmin are funny people...
She started out by telling me the only way she was interested in a gun is if I could provide her one in her favorite color...PURPLE.
I found someone who had one of the old Purple P32 grips and managed to trade him for it. Looks pretty nice with the hard chrome slide.

She's continued along at HER pace, just recently telling me she wants a bigger carry gun (Sig P232 is her Christmas present); now with the EBR, she's just about ready for a shotgun and to compete in 3-gun matches.

God works in mysterious ways...

Monk, thats awesome, I definitly think there should be his and her ars in the future for you and mrs monk. As for the purple 32, if that is what she likes, thats awesome. I think more guns should come in colors, it might bring more shooters into the fold. Ok, Ill take that 1911 in the red brick frame with a stainless slide, or maybe that should be a black slide or maybe a green frame... . It would complicate gun purchases so much, but it would be so fun.

Monk - You know you can also get Purple AR furniture, right? Check out Cavalry Arms website.

 

[Felonious Monk]

Undertoad---COOL!
Thanks for that info. She very possibly will wind up with one of those.

Good website, too (cavalry arms).
