Get Yelled at for buying a gun?!?

[HandK]

I use the argument that I cant be a firearms Instructor with out Firearms, But in all fairness to her she has never said a word to me about what ever I bring Home, And I never say anything to her about what she buys or wants, A good system for both of us I am blessed.

my wife is ignorant to what I own..she knows I own "a gun or two"
its the fishing equipment that pisses her off

If I heard static about buying a gun, my answer would be simple:

My bills are paid and I earned the money and the right to spend it how I see fit.

In all fairness, though, I do buy stuff for her periodically (less expensive but far more often) so I don't see that she has much room to complain that I do something for me on occasion.

Blessings,
Bill

Don't ALL wives show proper respect to their men?

I'm not touching this one with a ten foot pole.

On my 1911 purchase Friday, she said "Did you find the one you wanted?"
On my Mosin Purchase today, she said "You are ate up"

I would not tolerate being berated for buying an accessory for a hobby I enjoy, provided that we could afford it.

None of the women I've lived with have had any say-so in the matter. This includes a couple ex-fiances.

None are exes because of firearms.

Yeah, but my gun only cost $300 and the flooring will be like $3k.

So then you have another $2700.00 to spend on guns.....brilliant!

It's always good to get an outside view on things...thanks. Now I have some more shopping to do.

Well I guess it would help if I learned how to spell brilliant.

My wife got a new bedroom suite and I got another gun. She thinks she got the best deal and I'm happy. How bout that.

Not to threadjack , but you can find laminate with 10 year warranty for .99 a foot . Depending on the prep needed you can get it installed for $2.50 to $3.00 a foot .

On the other hand..... Its not only firearms that get me yelled at. Its also the assessories... I'm waiting on an Eotech XPS at the moment.... OMG I'm sooo going to hide as my mother sees my CC-bill before I do. I'm so screwed! 412.56 Yeah I gotta great price but ummm she wont see it that way. My wife is clueless as I pay all the bills she just gives me money ever pay-check

The cricket cost me $99 and a week on the couch.

Hearing these stories reminds me how good I've got it!

She was disappointed we didn't take my new XD to the range yesterday. I think we are going after a quick dinner tonight, so she can squeeze off a few rounds.

As long as we work on her list as much as we work on mine, we are all good!

I didn't realize what I had done leaving my INGO account open!!! My wife started this thread and now has plenty of evidence on all of you! And will be meeting your wives at the hair salon this week. This thread must be burned immediately!!!!

 

[tyler34]

she was cool with having a pistol and long gun for each of us, I had to convince her on the 10/22 she didn't mind the buckmark once she saw the deal I got. she uses the we need to go grocery shopping because we don't have any food to eat excuse, I say ramen is like 10 for $1 so I think we will be ok. the only thing that REALLY gets her and I "kind of" aka really tip toe around the truth on price with her is my knife addiction. but I justify it by reminding myself she is the same way with makeup.

Mine: What do you need another one for, they all do the same thing!!!
Response: Just like all those different utensils from pampered chef!

Mine: But your gun was $600 and my cookie sheet was $40. On top of that I'll make you cookies with it. What will our $600 gun do for me?

Our?

I hear the same as most others:
Don't you already have enough? There's a whole gun case full of those.
