Came here to say that.
Take her out to a nice dinner. Consider it part of the price of proper firearm maintenance.
Some of you are doomed to misery.
We were cleaning out the garage (more like shifting material around) just this week when my wife told me that there was a gun in a gun case I had on a shelf that we were putting empty knife and gun cases on.
"N'uhn", I intelligently responded.
"Uh'huh", she rejoined.
"Gotta be parts", I said with unfounded certainty.
"All together in one piece?", she asked with well-founded certainty.
"Lemme see!", me.
Grinning down at me she popped open the hard case and handed a rifle to me.
"Well, lookee there.", me.
"Looks like something worth keeping or is it something we should sell to pay for significant optional household expense?" she inquired.
"Ummm, hmmmm, uhhhh. It's an "X" and it is worth "Y" right now and it would be a good time to sell, but it uses "Z" so..."
"Nope, that's a keeper. Let's see if there are any other "Christmas Presents" that you don't know about that are worth getting rid of.", she said teasing my absent mindedness.
Honesty is the best policy in maintaining a relationship, especially over issues of finance.

I really don't think she wants to know. I've told her the safe combination a dozen times...I don't think she has ever opened it. I bet she doesn't remember the numbers right now. She even asked if I needed a new gun the other day! 
I said no...need to pay for that duck hunting boat first. My safe won't hold many more. My choices need careful consideration.

When the wife wanted to know haow many I had, I played E&E like crazy. I finally told her how self satisfying it was to by a gun. I actually talked her into buying herself one and it worked. Now I am having a hard time paying for her purchases. She has bought 3 within the last 2 months and has another one on order. She's also telling me that she wants a black rifle now.
