Tell me about your stealth buy.

This isn't a problem for me. I traded my wife for a cherry Winchester Model 92, years ago. Man that guy never saw me coming!

I have one coming home in less than two weeks. Mrs. Shane doesn't like it when I get more than one a year and I just got a Mauser.

So...she's not going to know about the Swiss K31 for a while.

For me, the money part is not an issue we have hers mine and ours checkbooks. I also keep a twenty out of every ATM withdrawl for a Mad money cash stash. done once or twice a week this adds up pretty fast. and allows me "free cash" with no history should I decide to buy her another Diamond or me another gun. I also know that she seems to think that she needs one pair of shoes and one hand bag for every outfit, but that I only need one rifle, one shotgun and two handguns, one for her and one for me. I exceeded that limit before I was sixteen, and when I was married nearly 20 years ago I had more guns than years. She just seemed to close her eyes to it.

I only attempted it once and she shot me down before I even made it to the basement door to finish assembling it.

I had got it over 3 months ago a few years back and thought I could sneak it in in pieces(which was successful) but forgot to hide the receipt and when she used my car, there it was in the visor zipper pouch...right next to the insurance paper.


I could almost hear that chef on tv yelling BAM!

while i understand the arguments of different interests that were brought up in the last few posts, i agree with brad that the first page of posts is a list of people purposely deceiving their spouse by sneaking gun purchases into the house.

i read this thread slightly amused but mostly shaking my head as i cannot understand how it appears to be normal to do this.

my wife and i do not have these types of secrets from each other because we are both responsible adults and trust each other. as a result, we have a solid relationship.

i'm also curious to see how people justify these stealth tactics.

not trolling, just honest curiosity to understand this mindset.

I try. I really try. I do a great job of sneaking them in, hiding them in the basement...

And then I just can't help myself. I have to show her and tell her all about it...

Stealth away boys, somewhere on the WWW there's a thread titled, how many outfits have you smuggled in the house without hubby knowing about it. You can bet the farm on that one. I've smuggled a few guns in myself, couldn't help it. I think its the gottahaveanewgun disease. Its going around.

Not to incense anyone, but I'll let you know how mine turns out.

BTW, my grown son asked to go with me to look at a handgun a few weeks ago. He asked me in front of his mom.

I haven't danced around like that since the high school prom. And that was thirty years ago.
