My wife sometimes ask, did you buy a new gun?? And I say no sweetie I always had that rifle don't you remember??
Luckily for me she could not distinguish a shotgun from an M-16 and doesn't keep a close tab of my collection...I bought a "core" number of firearms to make a "visible" collection mass and slowly trickling more pieces in...once in a long while I make a "public" purchase (you cannot hide a growing collection to the extremes) lol..so far it works!!!

I buy my "hidden" pieces cash (no CC statement) and I have a "black budget" for firearms purchase.

What about you???
 
I did.
Now I don't.

I agree
On the most fundamental thing trust is pivotal.....I'm sure my wife has her only little secret purchases....
But on fundamental thing we are solid as rock....
 
By the way I'm not planning to grow my collection for ever...actually I'm almost done....
 
I tell my wife everything. No secrets. Life in such a way has benefits. She gets to spend the same as I...dollar-for-dollar. So, I haven't any need to hide purchases. Besides, she knows my signature here, and my password. Any new purchase I post here, she could locate it. I guess I like the trust factor.
 
The reason I do is because she nags A LOT about firearms...when we married she was completely categorically contrary about having guns at home.....actually I was able to take her where I am now....


To be honest..she may suspect I do unannounced purchases here and there...I guess she refuses to investigate further...away from the eyes away from the heart...
 
Once it makes it to the safe, I've had that. Seriously though I try not to hide the purchases. I just don't volunteer the information. If she asks I'll tell her. She does the same with purses and shoes.

In theory I agree, in practice if I was 100% honest with her then every move I made would be a fight.
 
luckly my new GF likes guns, first day she came over to my place she insisted I open the safe and show her the collection, she doesn't know a ton about them but she likes them and wants to learn more and wants me to take her shooting. She is also looking into getting her pistol permit.
 
Yes,

If I don't, it might end up being hers. She's already claimed several. I owned an M1 Carbine for exactly 1 day. She picked it up and it was "ours". One trip to the range later and it was "hers".

Sometimes a gunny wife can be a curse. :neener:
 
My wife will often tease me for buying another gun but right in the middle of her teasing she sees one she likes and asks me to order it for her.

A family who buys guns together, stays together.:cool:
 
I dont know about the rest of you, but mine has an obsession with purses, she tells me "I dont need a new gun" I point out her collection of purses, I get a new gun :D
 
Since I still live at home with my parents I hide it from them. Dad has asked me where did this buckmark, h&k, glock, sig, 870, Ar, and Ak have came from. I say Chuck Norris brought them by and then I round house kick my dad in the face for asking :)
 
While we have separate accounts, and trust each other to spend wisely, she tells me before she splurges to buy something like shoes or a purse, because she admits to having too many and knows that the purchases are just items that make her smile.

I tell her when I buy a new gun, because I admit to having too many and know the next one is just to make me smile.
 
I do! My wife says" why do you need so many, you can only shoot one at a time. I didn't marry her for her smarts. hee hee.
