Same here... I make sure that when I'm taking her to the range with me, I only bring one or two out of the safe a time.

I've never really been pestered for buying a gun but can't you guys just say... "What? This old thing!?"

 

[HobbyGuy]

You bring the new addition home in it's case. Let it sit in the garage for a week and build up some dust. "This old thing....had it for ages..."

Of course that's the norm, and very successful. But what do you do when you walk in the door and your 6 year old YELLS AT THE TOP OF HER LUNGS:

"MOMMY, LOOK AT THE PINK RIFLE DADDY JUST GOT FOR ME!!!"

Yeah, couch, week. And I negotiated down to that punishment too.

Ratted out by a 6 year old...

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

Just a week??? Amateur...

I've grown to like my couch. All I ever get over guns is...

If I get one she likes...she soon starts referring to it as hers. She "thinks" she owns a Para 16-40, a Ruger P89 and an AK-47. If it makes her feel better... I'm good with it.

Her Reaction: "Seriously...you have a SICKNESS! This is just too much, I really do think you need to get help... How many do you have again? Why?! Why would you need another?!"

My response: "Isn't it cool? Been lookin for one of these for awhile..."

You get enough miles on a relationship and that all fades away.

brought home a $1800 28 ga O/U and a new S&W 4 mag Mountain gun I only paid $400 for....she only had 2 things to say....

Man this is nice (as she handled each one)
When are we gonna go shoot em??

My buddy was with me....asked if she has a sister....

 

[target64]

I usually get the .....And why did you need a new one????
But Our rule is my "money my choice.........Her money her choice". So it is all good

 

[fullauto 45]

"You paid how much for that machine gun!? You could have put that money in a savings account."
"And in six months my savings account would make about $10.00. I sold this and doubled my money. Now show me a bank account that will do that in one year and I'll stop buying guns."

Great post! I like to complete the purchase, pay for it, and see who finds out first. If I time it right and there are a bunch of bills being paid at the same time then that camoflages the purchase. When she sees the hit to the bank account and starts asking questions then I say, "What are you doing snooping around the accounts?" LOL. My kids will give me up quickest especailly my daughter.

Ground them to there rooms on the night of a purchase, that will fix that!!

My fiance doesn't mind me buying a new gun as long as our bills are paid for the month. And when Ido bring a new gun home she wants to know when we are gonna go shooting next. I also let her buy clothes and whatever with her money as long as our bills are paid too. Only thing she asks from me is her own .20 ga 870 to shoot with. i told her the next gun I get will be one for her. I'm happy she enjoys guns and shooting as much as I do.

 

[theweakerbrother]

Cash purchases are untraceable... need I remind you, gentlemen!

 

[Zoub]

What do you hear the most when you bring home a new firearm?

Barking, tailwagging and such.................anytime the dog sees a gun she assumes we may be heading out for a hunt or camping
