most dubious excuse for buying a new firearm

[BlackBearME]

Just put it in the back of the gun safe and tell your wife it was always there....

Oooohhhh......I like that a lot, because she's apathetic at best about my hobby.

Need I say more?

I don' have one of these.

If you have ever assembled an AR from parts then you understand you always have at LEAST one part leftover; grip, stock, something.... you ordered a kit or had a spare, whatever reason now you have extras.

Well that just can't be allowed so you must build another to see if you can use up all the parts. Unfortunately this time you had just one part left so, you need to build just ONE more

I accidentally bought the wrong caliber bore snake, and I need a rifle for it so it doesn't feel useless.

Also, incidentally, I know someone who kept a big bore rifle in their office safe. When asked why, they explained it was in case an elephant got loose and started causing trouble.

Some decades later, an elephant did get loose from a circus.

They were out of town, but as far as I know, that rifle was still at the office.

Howabout "I want it." My wife thinks that's pretty dubious for anything else, so it probably applies to firearms too.

Old age and senilety(I forgot that I already had one honey honest). It seems to work most times.

Older firearms are harder to get adopted & I want to give back to society....& help in any way that I can

Just put it in the back of the gun safe and tell your wife it was always there....

That doesn't work if your gun safe is full

Possible excuses:
-I don't want that guns get into wrong hands!
-Keep "demand and supply" in balance?

 

[Officers'Wife]

Hmmm,

The best excuse of all is that a little phrase that goes: the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed- means I don't need an excuse!

"I found one piece of X caliber brass at the range, I must get a gun in X caliber so I can reload it."

I've seen it happen more than once.

 

[goon]

I have a lot of 5.56 /.223 brass around so I need an AR.

 

[Elm Creek Smith]

I don't have one that color.
