IMHO a wife that has issues with a husband buying what keeps him happy has a larger issue in life. Assuming its not cutting into normal living expenses.

That took ALL the stress out of buying guns, or anything else either of us wanted. I tend to spend all of mine on guns, reloading stuff and hunting. Eileen tends to save hers, though once in a while she uses a big chunk on guns or hunting trips too. We frequent a certain local sporting goods store. When we first started going there 22 years ago the guys behind the counter would always look at Eileen when I grabbed one of the guns and said I'd take it, as if she might veto the deal. By now they've learned she doesn't care--unless, of course, it's a gun she might be interested in! “Montana seems to me to be what a small boy would think Texas is like from hearing Texans.” John Steinbeck

I just tell her that guns in a closet or safe are just like rabbits - put 2 in there and you'll get 4 and they'll eventually end up with 50 more.

As in a nightly shower about 6:30p.m. Which means you leave the toy in the garage till you hear the shower go on, and you are home free. One of the mistakes i made was getting my wife to take an active interest in getting a C.C.W. She then started knowing the differences. Now, it's, "when did you get that."

IMHO a wife that has issues with a husband buying what keeps him happy has a larger issue in life. Assuming its not cutting into normal living expenses. This sounds like my wife, except she's into horses... I have the added bonus in that she is just as like likely to buy ME a gun as I am. It all works out.

On the rare occasion that I bring a new one home I use the same tactic. I ain't proud of being deceptive, but I'm a sick, sick man and more guns are the only treatment. 4 out of 5 Great Lakes prefer Michigan.
