Wife's at gun shows

[red_zr24x4]

So I've been married for 22 years and I think my wife has gone to one,1, uno gun show with me. Today she went to the Nappanee show with me, along for the ride was my sis in law and her boyfriend.

Were looking around and the girls decide to go sit in the snack bar area. After a bit we join them and the wife asked if I found anything I wanted. Said yeah my normal shop has a RIA 1911 Tactical in .45 I'd like to get, but it was $490. She said, well go have him hold it for you and put $100 down on it. You can pick it up in a week or so.
Now my wife isn't really into guns, doesn't dislike them and never *****es about me carrying ,but believes one pistol is enough.

Anyone else dread taking your wife to a gun show/shop and getting a surprise like this?

You just have to lose her for a while and get the rat hole money brother.

I'm new to the gun scene, but mine was really pushing for us to go to the last Crown Point show. I passed on that one just cause I didn't want to fight the crowd and feel the sellers may not want to spend the time with a noobie.

So far so good with my wife. Today I went metal detecting, another hobby, I said at least it means I'm not buying another gun. Her response was, "I like guns, just not as much as you, but I really like the revolver you bought me"! It's a 32 cal smith and Wesson, by the way.

When I was married mine used to go once in a while.
She was cute then, so I figured it might help in getting a good price

Sheeesh, next you're going to tell us "excrement" shouldn't be spelled "Taurus"

 

[CPT Nervous]

No, that is correct...

My wife will not go to a gun show with me, but always gives me a hard time, when she asks me what I bought, and I say nothing. She asks why I even bother to go then. When I tell her I bought a couple bore brushes, or something like that, she laughs and calls me a big spender. Not a bad problem to have.

Sounds like a keeper! Mine goes with me all the time, we have been shopping for a concealed carry pistol for her at the last few gun shows we have been to. I think she is really there for the German roasted almonds though.

I have gone to two gun shows with my husband. He bought a gun both times. What is the big deal?

 

[Jhampton]

My wife hasn't been to any guns shows with me but is incredibly supportive. No complaints at all from me.

 

[Hookeye]

Ha! Two gunshows back I left my ex wife and youngest kid with a dealer (but he gave them back).

Next time I do that he has to give me a gun to take 'em off his hands

I know a guy who went to a large gun show with his wife and, after some searching, found deal on a large quantity of ammo. He was going to go back to his truck to get his two-wheeled cart, but the dealer offered to let the guy use the dealer's cart if the guy left some collateral. The guy said he'd leave his wife in exchange for the use of the cart and the dealer agreed. Not sure how the wife felt about that.

Mine doesn't go, or care what I buy. I've been married 26yrs, and buy what I want. If you don't have that, find a different wife.

I've been married 10 years and my wife has been to two gun shows, including this Nappanee show. She was ok with what I bought, would not let me buy the glock 20.

 

[rwhitmore8]

I come home with way cooler stuff if mine isn't with me, lol.

I can't take my wife , She says that you can never have enough ammo and will pay the gougers any price they ask.
