[Esam85]

That I need a Chambers Custom night fighter. She definitely isn't buying that it is an investment argument.

buy a new living room furniture set that is REALLY comfortable that your wife likes. key word is comfortable here...

buy 1911, then ask for forgiveness later. sleep on your new comfortable couch for a few nights. its a win win.

Just buy it. If she doesn't like it what's she really going to do? Divorce you?

Man I have already been through one of those and they are way more expensive

Focus on one of her wants, champion the effort she might surprise you with returning the favor.

Well, that's quite a pickle that you almost have yourself in. You only live once and there's only one way to find out. I say buy it. On your tomb stone (not the frozen pizza) it can say, "my dad was a smooth talking ninja too".

I hear you, I've got two under my belt. I still say buy it.

I'm thinking so it will probably be three to four years until it would be built anyway

I never heard of it...........

I have heard of an angry wife.
Very fierce.

It's been in the safe for years. Don't you remember when we were dating and you shot it at the range?

Don't tell.

I received a muzzleloader rifle package once. I had the foresight to buy my wife something nice at the same time. She asked -- what's in that long box? I opened one end, pulled out the thing for her and said "check this out -- I got it for $70 and the sticker price is $180 (true)". I gave it to her and we talked about that for a while. She forgot about the long box. Then when she was laid out on the couch with her iPhone, I took the rifle out of the outer box and out of the inner box, and just walked right by her on the way to the safe. She didn't even notice.

You can do the same thing I bet.

I have used that one a couple times and she seemed to let me get away with it. I am never quite sure if I really pulled it off, or if she just let me think I did and figured no point kicking about it now.

Alexx is right I didn't know this procedure when married the first time.Let me tell you I I didn't make a lot of money back in the late 60s and 70s but I held in my hands so many wonderful guns at times if I start thinking of some of the sweet deals I could have owned even on my salary it's hard to go to sleep. I did squeek thru with a Belgium Browning auto 5 , aTrapdoor Springfield and my model 19. Of course I lost the house, most everything else and 10 years of alimony. So as the song goes "Why didn't I learn to cook". But now I',m happily married to a great working gal who lets me have pretty much what I want but every once in awhile I find the need to say O honey I've had that old gun forever, that's the one I'm leaving to ( enter name of favorite child ) remember? We have been married 38 years now and it has served me well , we are retired now and I sure miss those OT checks.
Happy Shooting

If it won't hurt your monthly budget or savings goals, just get it. This whole permission nonsense tickles me the wrong way. What is she gonna do, withhold hanky-panky time? God gave you two hands, use them!

 

[trevi]

Guns and roses!

'Nough said.

I have had the opposite situation for about a year. My wife is adding more to the vault than I am.

Speaking of pickles.... give her that, THEN break the news!

Now that is a problem all of us would love to have

My wife told me once..."You know, I can't tell one gun from another, but I can count."

I say do it and ask for forgiveness if necessary.
