DWFAN Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 Awhile back, my Wife was paying the credit card bills. There was $400 charge at Four Seasons, not knowing what it was, she looks it up online and sees Four Seasons Hotel. Knowing she's never been there, she starts to get angry and confronts me about it. Well 4 Seasons is a local gun shop and she was never so relieved to hear I spent $400 on ammo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Round_Gun_Shooter Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 From a friend's ad on another forum. Always thought it was to the point Disclaimer: I an thinning out the herd. Do you know what that means? The only trade I will entertain is for a tall Red Headed woman with long legs. My wife said to me that she would kill me if I died and left her with all my guns to get rid of after I told her not to sell them for what I told her what I paid for them. She does has her LTC. To achieve this goal I could 1. Do nothing and enjoy my guns 2.Put some or all the guns on consignment to 1 or 2 or more guns shops 3.Put them up for auction 4.Use the Internet sites 5.Use NES and FA-10s and find dealers to do transfers. 6.Get my FFL and open a store front. 7. So boys and girls that is what I did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hiker88 Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 reminds me of how a famous golfer got caught by his wife :roflol: I pretty much give a hint to my wife when I'm buying a "new toy". Although, I never really tell her how much it's going to cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray_Z Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 (edited) When I buy a new toy I'd better have a lot of extra cash. The equation she used is New gun = new jewelry of equal or greater value her mood Edited September 9, 2011 by Ray_Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lumpygravy Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 I'm fortunate. My better half doesn't care because all of my purchases are self funded and do not come from the household account. She used to shoot so she has some appreciation for some of the stuff I buy. I sent her Ruger MkII off to Volquartsen and I think she's really going to like it when it comes back. Of course it's for me to shoot rimfire matches, but so far she's digging the planned changes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h2osport Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Better just to be up front. When my wife and I were dating, I showed up at the house with a brand new jetski. She said"don't you think you should have talked to me about this before you bought it" to which I said "NO". End of discussion. I told her she is also free to purchase anything she wishes, as long as she knows we have the funds on hand and available. Randy p.s. I showed up last night to tell her that I just bought another ar. I did not really need it, but it was too good of a deal to pass up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snertley Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 The year before my wife got a look into my safe and how full it is and said " Do you need another safe?" . I said no, dang I love that woman! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PistolPete Posted September 18, 2011 Share Posted September 18, 2011 Oh god this top is a riot. Earlier this year I decided to open a Martial Arts school and sold my guns to pay for everything. Well, she quickly found out I had bought 3 open guns (thought I only had one) and about 8 limited guns along with countless other regular guns. Needless to say she wasn't at all happy. OOPS!!!!

tambarika Posted September 28, 2011 Share Posted September 28, 2011 My springer precision 5.25 arrived at my dealer this afternoon and I had already gone to work. Someone at the shop made the mistake of calling and leaving a message at the house instead of my cell. Wifey texts and asks me if I have bought something all coy like. She would have never known if they hadn't messed up. Now I'm going to be on the hook for something for her. Crap. I learned my lesson. Now, whenever i buy a gun, i have the dealer mark the charge as 'Porn'. My wife doesn't suspect a thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KentG Posted October 2, 2011 Author Share Posted October 2, 2011 Well the shoe dropped for me. Actually it was a new Coach purse and it also covered as an aniversary gift!

PapaCap Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 OK boys, here's what you do. You tell wifey that xx% of your pay and the same % of her pay go into a common pot for the house and common activities like vacation. Then 100-xx% of your pay is yours to do what you want and the same for her. For those of us who make more than our wives we get more to play with. The only problem with this plan is that it typically works best when initiated prior to marriage and even better before engagement. Who ever thought up this "oh you bought something so I have to get something of the same cost" crap? That's total BS. If you know a single guy tell him about this plan before he gives away half his crap and half of everything he makes in the future. BTW, joined this forum after buying a XDM 9 (5.25) today from my favorite dealer at a gun show to learn what you cats are doing with yours.

t0066jh Posted November 1, 2011 Share Posted November 1, 2011 I have four grandsons. All the guns I buy are "so that I have something to leave for the kids when I pass on" Therefore....4 Revolvers, 4 shotguns, 4 1911's, 4 XD's etc.. It works so far... Meanwhile, she buys very expensive sewing machines. They cost more than most people can imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justsomeguy Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 This reminds me of the story of the guy who got off work and went to a bar whereupon he met a lovely redhead. One thing led to another and she took him to her place where they had wild, random sex until about 3 in the morning. As he got dressed to leave he asked her if she had any talcum powder. She searched the house and found some left over from when her sister visited her with her newborn. He applied some to his hands, kissed his paramour goodnight and headed home. Waiting just inside the door was his wife who immediately asked with raised eyebrow... "Where have YOU been!" He, without hesitation replied... "Well, I left work and went to a bar where I met this lovely redhead who took me to her place for a night of passion." His wife tapped her foot a couple of times and said "Let me see your hands!" He stuck his arms out revealing his powdered digits. She looked them over and exclaimed... "Ha! I knew it! You went BOWLING!" It pays to know your woman!

n5wd Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Glad to know that I'm in good company, having to pay pennance to the War Department. Back on Veteran's Day, Cabelas was running a great discount for active and veteran military - employee discount. Had the opportunity to pick up a Veridian C5L for my Walther PPS, at a pretty good discount. Told the wife that'd be my Christmas present. So, a week or two later, while we're out running around, she says "Let's go to the Apple Store for just a minute - I want to look at something". Hmmm.. well, she's been real nice to me for 40 years, so I didn't mind buying the Ipad2 for HER Christmas present. But, you know computers.. you gotta buy the accessories, too... she needed a Belkin bluetooth keyboard, and a couple of other little things... So, when the gun show rolls around on New Years Eve (what a way to start the new year!) she's like "Well, you oughta look and see what they want for that gun you want"... all sweetness. So, the XDm 5.25 was a bit less than what the lowest I had found online, or at previous gun shows... That's my Valentine's gift, it seems.... Now, I'm just waiting to see what she wants for Valentines! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowtop Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 New gun came in last tuesday, it snowed the night before and the road was bad at My FFL dealer house. So the UPS Man (the SAINT that he is) call the only number on the box my number so i could get my FFL bud to come out to get the gun at the end of the road. Too bad the wife answered the phone!
