Oh brother, have I heard something similar to that before!

Due to COVID cancelling all of my 2020 trips, I did have extra $$ to spend on guns and gun stuff. I added more this year than in years past... but none as nice as the revolving S&W beauties you’ve scored this year :thumbup:.

May 2021 be COVID-free for us soon!

Stay safe.
 
My wife caught on. Once upon a time I told her I bought a new gun. She must have been in a sour mood that day, as she replied "What are you telling me for?". So I took that to mean that I no longer needed to inform her from that point forward.

All was well for a long time as she mostly can't tell one from the other. I have a good variety of configurations as far as style, barrel length, finish, etc.. Then I messed up. I bought a 1911. She spotted it as "different".

She asked why I didn't tell her, and I relayed the above experience back to her which she did not remember. Of course then it was "O.K. how many guns do you have?". So now she keeps count. *sigh*.

I'm so lucky. My wife makes sure we are suitably armed and have plenty of ammo and reloading components. No bribes needed. She even likes the scent of Hoppe's 9! I am truly blessed.

Snake Plisskin,
Love that line from Josey Wales. I should have it made as a bumper sticker.

Ditto. I showed my wife the 1927 Colt Official Police in .32WCF I picked up for a good/decent price on Gunbroker. She said, "Wow! Nice! But... it doesn't fit my hand very well." I can't take her to the LGS with me anymore. We will buy something and it will be cool but it won't be cheap or fit my hand very well. Last time I took her with me to pick up a check for a consignment I sold, she picked up a Springfield Armory 911 in .380ACP.
 
I don't understand this. My Wife buy's what she want's and I buy what I want. We both have good retirement's and split the household bills down the middle. I've never believed in "Hiding this from my Wife" mentality. A grown Man has to sneak around to buy something? Why? If you can afford it you still need permission to buy it? My Wife found out I bought a new car when she saw it in the driveway. I had mentioned I was looking but certainly didn't ask her blessing.
 
My bud bought a new Browning model 5 shotgun several years ago and his wife was really miffed about it. So he promised her he wouldn't buy anymore guns for the rest of the year. He said it mollified her. That is until about a half hour later when she remembered the date was December 21st.:rofl:

I think the majority of married coupes don't run separate accounts, it's all goes into one big pot. If a couple manages their finances that way then it requires some....communication.
 
Recently I sold a gun and decided to buy a new one. I bought another Glock 34. I proudly told my wife that I finally have 2 Glock 34s (I have wanted two of them for a while now).
She said “That’s really nice. I’m happy for you and with all this craziness you managed to find one. Impressive.”
This statement kind of threw me a bit as I didn’t think she was aware or paying attention. As I walked away she said “So that makes four Glocks now, right?”
DOH!
She does pay attention. Darn! :rofl:
 
Buy an expensive 1911, buy new drapes for the living room. Married life goes on.
 
I make the money but my wife manages the accounts. So I have to be creative in my gun buying. She’s always absolutely right that we don’t “need” it. She also doesn’t buy much if anything for herself, which gives her unambiguous moral high ground to tell me that I shouldn’t buy more guns.

I still buy them, I just don’t tell her. She usually doesn’t notice. I agree strongly with the principle that it’s better to ask forgiveness than permission, except that forgiveness might be a bit strong. We’ll call it “acceptance of the fait accompli.” I’ve been on a bit of a break due to Covid prices and buying a house, but I did cave and buy AR mags the other day. And have my eye on a Trapdoor Springfield soon.....
 
I guess I have it pretty good. I make the majority of the money and pay nearly all the bills and buy almost all the food. I have never spent money on a gun when we were close on money that needed to be used for household stuff. Plus my wife has seen me buy several guns and turn around and sell them for a profit. Like the Mak 90 AK I bought for $250 and sold a week later for $750. So she doesn't say anything. And I don't care what she buys. Sort of a live and let live situation. Besides she figured out a long time ago I am going to do what I want no matter what is said.
