Prior to the election, fearing a Clinton win, my wife suggested I pick up an AR15. Fear was prices would go through the roof. So get while the getting was good.

So I did some looking & picked up a used, but like new condition CORE15 M4 Piston. Being used, it came with a Nikon P-223 3-9x40 scope with the BDC600 reticle.
I gotta tell ya, this is one sweet rifle.

But now that Hildabeast has lost, I can't really justify hanging on to this rifle. So today I told my wife I'd get started selling it.

Right off the bat, she asks "Do you like it?" Well yea. But I already have another pretty good AR ( Sig 516 ). She says "Who cares? If you like it, keep it."

I don't have any pics, but here's a link

In the past, for birthdays, she has given me a FA 454 Casull and an STI Trojan. But this was just an out of the blue, no special occasion. Well, maybe it was a special occasion. The country was saved.
 
It is very good that you are so strongly supported by your wife.

My wife, out of the blue, made a similar suggestion. She suggested I go buy an AR to give to our youngest son when he turns 18 because she was afriad if Hillary won they might cease to be available before he turned 18 and could buy one for himself.
 
I have an AR for everyone in the family, but when my mother-n-law came to stay with us for a few months, while she builds a new house. I told my wife we needed an AR for her, my wife said ok go get one.

Great wives and mothers to your children are worth their weight in gold.
 
ON the reverse side, at the ripe old age of 59 I find myself single. Hey, it has it's advantages. But in the process of meeting women I have found some totally crazy ones. One woman, when I told her I like hunting actually said
"I'll NEVER have guns in my house." I responded "That's ok. I'll just keep them all at my house. Bye."
 
"It is better to dwell in the corner of the roof top than in a broad house with a contentious woman"

That's why it's important to marry someone who has similar interests and goals in life. Doesn't have to be same/same, but close enough to find common ground. When there's agreement, you get good things like Tuckerdog1 did. Most importantly, a wife who is pleasant, and as a side benefit, a decent rifle at the urging of his wife.

Anyway, did you choose a piston driven rifle, or did you choose configuration and it happened to be a piston rifle?
 
I bought my 3rd AR 15 in March before they became too expensive. Mr Trump was elected and Sportsman's Warehouse cut the price $60 dollars last week. I would never make money betting on horses.:)
 
Anytime my wife starts suggesting I get another gun, I go out and walk around her car and look for damage/look in the paper to see if she got another speeding ticket. I've yet to buy anything non essential outta fear the price was going up, unless it was as an investment. Know folks who jumped on that bandwagon 8 years ago before Obama was elected and still can't sell those extra ARs for what they paid for 'em. Still if you got the gun for a fair price and don't need the cash, what's the harm, eh? Having a spouse that supports your hobbies makes for a good marriage. Enjoy them both.

I was just looking for something a step up from an entry level rifle. Piston or gasser really didn't matter too much. It just had to be a good buy.
 
I understand. Recently, my wife suggested that we should buy another safe as there isn't room to buy any more toys. Of course, it is her turn now...
 
That is a great wife. Mine was a keeper when I discovered she would go down and take down and post new targets at the 300 yard range.

Try offering to take her to the range to shoot instead of telling her you have guns. Be prepared to buy her a gun afterwards though.
 
I suppose I got blessed with my wife of 21 years now, I met her at the USMS Headquarters for some reason or another. She was miss Oklahoma at the time and beautiful so I had to introduce myself so we started talking and she starts asking what kind of sidearm I carry and all kinds of gun questions and she tells me that she loves to shoot and hunt so anyway after her reign of miss Oklahoma is over we get married almost immediately and still yet every Bday and Christmas and anniversary all she ever wants is a gun or gun related what not or possibly a new bow, she's a good bowhunter to and you've never seen a more attractive woman dive into field dress a deer, we shoot every time the weather is nice and when the weather is bad she sets with me and we reload. She is definitely one in a million.
 
My wife of 45 years had never fired a gun in her life when she married me. She's always been a fast learner though. Nowadays, she has as many guns as I have. It can be expensive, because over the years every time I wanted a new gun, she got one too, and vice-versa.
The recent exception to the "if you get one, I get one too rule" was the AR I bought the day before the election for the exact reasons the OP stated. My wife and I talked that one over and decided (obviously wrongly) it would be a good investment.
Good investment or not, I think we'll hang onto it. Neither of us has ever had an AR before, but we've heard they're fun. If it's too much fun though, my loving wife is sure to want one of her own. Here we go again!
 
My wife bought me my first glock. I really love her and that glock. She actually drove 2 hours north because no shops around had a 3rd gen Glock 17 in stock.
I think of her on that highway with absolutely no sense of direction and only the determination of making her man happy on his birthday. She is great and whenever I'm on the fence about a gun she always tells me "just buy it".
 
That is indeed a keeper of a wife. The first date with my bride to be was a range trip in the middle of the Daniel Boone National Forest. Probably 5 years later she bought her first gun, a 5" all steel 1911 in .45ACP. Gotta love her
 
My wife said that my hobbies are one of the reasons why she loves me.
(Hotrods,vintage military trucks,guns etc)
And she said that the house we buy has to have enough land for me to shoot of the porch.
I love her!
 
Well, I have such a house -- I've killed turkey from the front porch.

But on our first date, I took her to a parachute jump, and she watched me come out of a CV2 Caribou at 12,500 feet, blow every panel out of my ParaCommander on opening, and come down on the reserve.

We agreed -- that was fair warning what life with me would be like.

My GF and I are nearly 65 years old. She hunts with me, helps with field dressing and cooks all our meat. I've had her nearly 20 years and should prolly marry her.

At this point, why get the government involved in your relationship? If it hasn't been broken for 20 years, don't try to fix it.

That's just one feller's opinion though.

I'd make sure to have a will done though so you make sure she gets what you want her to get. ;)
