"Honey, how many guns do you have?"

"Sweety, how many pairs of shoes do you have?...Exactly, quit complainin'!"

I used that one with fishing Rods a few years ago.

Personally I like Tom Greshams answer. "MORE THAN I NEED, NOT AS MANY AS I WANT"

Beat me to it with the exception that it would be earrings for my wife.

"Honey, how many guns do you have?"

"I don't know, but it would be interesting to find out. Since you need to know, why don't you count them for me? And as long as your doing that, take pictures, record serial numbers, and log them all for insurance purposes. Maybe make an excel spreadsheet with blue book prices. I've been meaning to do that for ages but I've been putting it off because it's such a painful task. Thanks for volunteering to do it for me."

This one would work for me. She won't even inventory her old college papers so that we can store them. :D
 
my response is usually, "well its a 28 gun safe and its not full yet so i think about 18 or 19" never mind the safe is pack so tight you couldn't put water between the guns and not all the guns are even in the safe
 
Almost enough:D

That is what I say every time, cuz really, I just need/want 1 more, Always. And it somehow gives the incorrect impression that I am "almost" through with my 'collection' Which is kind of true, after all I just want 1 more. And as soon as I get that one, there will be that other 1 that I need.:evil:
 
RUN!!! as fast as you can and don't stop till you hit mexico. Then keep on the move so she never finds you. Remember take nothing but pictures leave nothing but footprints.

You mean leave the guns!?!?
 
It's not really her concern.... unless you're spending money on guns that should be spent on your household expenses, childrens' education, insurance, utilities, taxes, mortgages, vehicles, retirement, etc. :)

Didn't we learn anything from Watergate? The cover up is worse than the crime.

If my wife wants to know how many guns WE own she'll just count 'em. She's probably checking to make sure there's enough room for the 20 Gauge coach gun she has her eye on.

Don't keep secrets, there's trouble down that road.

It's your wife - be honest. She's got a stake in how household income is spent too, you know.

Me? I don't spend more money on guns -- when I want a new one I sell/trade one off to fund it so the total money held in firearms is about constant. I like to think it's going up as I trade well, but who knows?

Honesty is the best policy here.
 
Tell her exactly how many. It never matteredto my my wife. Sometimes, when I would acquire a new addition I'd make some comment about it most likely being that last one I'd be buying. She just smile knowing I wasn't lying at that moment and that there you be more to come later on. Just don't buy stuff that has effects your normal household budget and don't ever say "whadya buy those new shoes for?"
 
Not saying this is your problem, BUT a friend of mine got asked that question. She was thinking about divorce.:what:

What she doesn't know can't hurt you.:D
 
just tell her!! i started back in shooting 2 years ago.i had a old 12g for deer to start.They opened deer to rifle.So i got a 30-06 for deer.The 30-06 cost a lot to shoot so i got a 22. buy trading my old 12g for plinking and that helped get my wife shooting too.Before last christmas i seen a real deal on a .17HMR that was my christmas from my wife for summer/fall small game woodchuch hunting.she will use the .22 when she goes hunting with me and i will use the .17HMR. WE needed a HD gun/trap shooting gun so i got a 12g pump.after small game hunting i going to try to get her to go deer hunting soo SHE may need a new .243 or maybe a <.204/223 for long range woodchucks>.I would never buy a gun with out the ok buy my wife.but she said 4 is plenty for till the end of the year or i find a realy good deal;)

Thanks a lot. As I'm writing the other post she's reading yours over my shoulder, and now she expects me to listen to her. Just thanks, but stay off my side please. :p
 
gun laundering. havent had to use this method myself, but when my brother is asked by his wife, he says "well those two aren't mine, those are the kids'!"
 
Shortly after My wife Arrived from china I returned home from work and she says-Do you know How many guns you have --I say NO - She says 140 -- AAhhhh I seee- What did you do count them -- YES se says -- OH Ok did you count the handguns in a cases -- Yes -! Oh dont forget the room full at mom and dads house back in NY I havent moved yet !!!!!
Oh Dont get any idea about selling them -- I tell her..You have stocks that go up and down in Value --My guns have never gone down in value and Most are worth 40% more that I have invested --! Its my retirement investment ..
Now shes real cool on buying guns -just buy at a good price and get investment guns that are sellable ...

I just don't have the words for this one. Suffice it to say I heartily disagree.

The words of a man destined to lose half his stuff and visit his kids every other weekend.

My wife suggests its better to tell your wife how many guns you own when she asks, rather than her lawyers as they're drawing up a settlement.;)
