My wife likes to look at guns as well I really don't need an excuse other than "that's a gun that I don't have yet"

Today I told the spouse that I was going to the gun show in Jackson tomorrow.
She asked what I planned to bring back. I think the years of training are starting to pay off.

I had a hard time justifying the S&W 500. Pesky elephants in the pasture didn't quite cut it.
Black rifle multiplied and it was about 2 weeks before she noticed.
Night vision scope doesn't look as expensive as it really is. Now that could spell trouble.

Actual conversation:
Me: "Wifey, dear, your Masters of Education cost us $4900 out of pocket. The new laptop computer you needed to do the on-line class was $800. Then, you decided the desktop needed to be upgraded so you could do somesuch thing on it; $900. Let me show you what I want [shows wife Service Grade Garand, $595].
Wifey: "My goodness! That's expensive! What does it do?"
Me: "This is a piece of history; possibly used in WWII or the Korean War. Besides, a new (to me) Garand is $600; ammo a couple hundred more. I'm in for less than your computer!"
Wifey: Grumbling..."Ok, you can get it."

Heh heh. If you guys ever hear of Bottom Shelf's death, come straight to Raleigh. There will be some excellent deals to be had. My wife thinks every piece in my safe was $50.

You need an excuse to buy a gun. Single and lovin it rite now. Even the cat is OK with it as long as I leave him a few squirrels to chase. The only thing that limits me is credit limit.

Used to have a rule, we can only buy guns with the calibers we have in the house now. I got away with the 380 as I called in a 9MM Kurtz. (she knows, and just smiled)

Squirrels got into your bird feeder again honey... I better get a .22
Afraid that the coyote you saw in the driveway will eat your pussy cat... time for a .30-30
Neighbor had a bear in their garbage can.... an AK is the right tool for that dear.
I'm really, really hoping for a big foot siting!!!

I guess i'm a bad boy. I just go out and buy the gun I want. When I get it home I put it in the back of the gunsafe and forget it for a while. When I finially bring it out, my lovely bride asks "where did you get that one". "O I've had it for a while" I answer, I just don't say how long the while is. Is this bad or what?
I sometimes keep a running total in my head of what the wife spent (roughly) over the last month or so on clothes, shoes, etc. Then, I tell her before I actually buy the gun (lowering the price by 25 - 50%). If she questions why I "need" to make the purchase, I just remind her that it's a hobby of mine and is less expensive than her "hobby".
Or, I just don't tell her.

I recently purchased a .45 1911. Before the purchase my wife and I received. a rebate check from our home owners insurance which we split.
We were walking around the sporting goods store and I ask her if she would be upset if I got another pistol.
She said: It's your money do what you want. Besides, would it make a difference if I did? You are going to do what you want to do.
Man, I love that woman!
