So the spousal unit and I were in the kitchen and without a word, he takes my hand and leads me into the bedroom and right over to the....
...gun cabinet.
I'm all "What the...?"
He said, "I've been thinking about selling my rifle and putting the money towards a handgun for myself."
(You have no idea how I've...
A) longed to get rid of that rifle and
B) sooo wanted him to be interested in shooting more/carrying)
He said, "I'm not sure if I really want to yet...it was just an idea I was kicking around and you never shoot that rifle anyway because you've got your own...and honestly, I'm never gonna shoot it either. Probably."
So I really want to kind of "help" that idea along, but I don't want to be too pushy, or he'll just completely back off the whole thing...
What to do? What to say? Help me, dangit!!
