Has your wife ever caught you with a gun she didn't know you had...?

[debeerman]

How do you guys have wives that don't know when you get a new gun? My wife sees the finances. She'd know if $500 or more was missing.

i pay all the bills I run the finances even have seperate checking accounts. That is the way we run the house here and we are in the black every month that way. Plus a gun never costs more than $100

 

[debeerman]

Nope. Ever see "Leave It To Beaver?" It's kinda like that, son. Only x1000, because she's hispanic.

Much like cars, don't blame me when you're domestic model gives you headaches.

^^^^^ love that quote but being married to a hispanic myself I am not sure it is all leave it to beaver especially with the extended familia

When I came home with my first handgun girlfriend asked me where I got it told her my father and I went and got it she just assumed my father bought it for me. Then another time told her we were going to meet a friend and went and got a shotgun off my buddy she was not happy.

I think the real question is…

"Have your guns ever caught you with a wife they didn't know you had?"

 

[HavokCycle]

my hand only minds when i fire too many magnum loads
(thats like, a quadruple entendre, think its a record for me)

My wife never knows when I buy a new gun and I never tell her. She usually finds out later when she spots it and asks "where'd that come from" or "don't tell me you bought another one".

I made the mistake of taking some pictures of my rifles one day and she walked into the garage and said, "you have 3 of those things?".

I just do it n tell her about it later. If she asks where I'm going or what I'm doing, I say I'm picking up a gun. No reason to try to hide it. Only time I asked first was when I used "real money" for it. Otherwise I only spend what I've gotten from side jobs or selling stuff, or trade for a gun

I would rather not have a new gun than to buy it without telling her. Deceiving her would be much worse than buying a gun she thinks I don't need. Went to the 1500 today and came close to buying a S&W revolver. Never entered my mind buy it on the sly. I feel sorry for the people that feel they have to do that. She isn't exactly thrilled with all of my purchases, for sure, but she would be so disappointed in me if I lied to her.

She must be standing over your shoulder right now.

This wasn't about "deceiving" my wife, or being "sly" we have a great marriage, this woman is my best friend! And please, whatever you do; don't feel sorry for me, I'm a very happy man and my wife is a very happy woman! I do however love your holier than thou attitude!

I thought it was a funny story, and figured it would be a good thread. I guess everyone has a different outlook on life, but I understand where you're coming from, I've got friends like you that I love hanging out with, when their wives let them come outside to play...

Just gotta make sure the extended familia lives an extended distancia from ya.

The ol' lady knows when I get a new gun, as I put it on the bed where she would sleep and make her go to the couch

 

[localone]

My wife always finds guns she didnt know i had...I just use the regular line "This old thing? I had that for a long time"

My wife handles all the finances. I just always tell her i need money. I keep putting it aside until I get enough saved up to buy something while I am out.

 

[superjoe76]

Nope. My stories go like this...

Me "I want to buy a new gun"
Her "okay"

Mine go like this...

Me - Wow, I really like this (insert gun here) a lot.
Her - Go ahead and get it.
Me - Well its something I have been eyeing for awhile.
Her - Ok, go ahead and get it.
Me - Its in a caliber I already have so I figured it would make sense.
Her - Whatever, if you want it, buy it.
Me - Well, let me think about it.
Her - Why, just go get it.
Me - I probably should buy it, but I can wait.
Her - I told you you can get it, so go ahead.

Tomorrow will start at my second comment. Eventually, I talk myself out of it.

 

[donballz]

Yeah, I was carrying around a new rifle in my trunk waiting for the right moment to tell her and then one morning she needed the stroller I forgot to take out. Oops.

 

[Bersalover]

That is a great story! I usually answer that question by saying not that has been here since last year.... 1 year seems to be my home statute where there are no further questions.

 

[Gee223]

LOL, great thread!

I bought “my wife" a couple of guns. I also bought a couple cheap guns here and there. Now I'm to the point my standard answer is “that, oh... I've had that".

If course she beats me, but I love it!

With few exceptions my wife really has no idea what type or quantity of firearms are in the house. If I asked everytime I bought something I'd have very few guns. Like many here I work side jobs and do a fair amount of trading. Lastly remember the old saying that it is better to beg forgiveness than ask permission.
