Widder, SASS #59054 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 If Santa doesn't leave me a Ruger Mark IV, customized by Volquartsen (Scorpion model), and I use all the money given to me and the Bunkhouse Boss for Christmas to buy it for meowndangself, what penalty will I get if (when) the Bunkhouse Boss discovers what I used all the money for? Its not like she told me not to spend any of it or buy anything. I mean, as long as she says I can't, then I guess I can. PLUS, I had interference in my decision making process by a couple other friends who urged me to buy it. I say 'No Call'. Bedazzled in TN. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Catlow4697 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 A smart man would buy the firearm that he wants and put it under the tree with his wife's name on it. If for some reason she doesn't like the gun ,offer her gift of her choice . What I do is buy what I want and then sneak it in to the gun safe.. This way when asked about the new purchase ,I say this old thing , I had this along time. Try to say this with a straight face or learn to duck really fast.

The problem with that strategy is that she keeps it and says you can use it....... Then IF you beat her on a stage you get "Yeh...but he is usin my guns"!

Shooting Bull Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Wrong Christmas Present Flow Chart: Was the $$$ meant for a gun? Did you in fact buy a gun? Was the $$$ meant for a rifle, pistol or shotgun? Did you buy the appropriate style? What caliber was the $$$ meant for? Did you buy that caliber? If you answered yes to the 2nd, 4th and 6th questions then it’s a no-call. If any or all of those answers is no then it’s a Procedural. The penalty is to buy the HoH the gift of her choosing of equal value. Merrrrrrrrrrry Christmas!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HOWEVER, if the friends were part of the "peanut gallery" their influence could be seen as impeding the split second decision you had to make in reference to the firearm procurement which therefore must be taken into consideration by the posse marshal Bunkhouse boss! Of course the ruling quoted will have absolutely no affect on her final decision on accessing the appropiate penalties. Your on your own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cypress Sam, SASS #10915 Posted December 21, 2018 Share Posted December 21, 2018 Once you’ve convinced the Bunkhouse Boss that such acquisitions are not hedonistic purchases but are in fact investments. Certainly much better investments than the stock market these days. But it’s a fact (well almost) that guns always appreciate in value. Then it naturally follows that you only have BB’s best interest at heart and are thinking only of her. PS Let me know if this works. If so, I’ll try it my own self!

Widder, SASS #59054 Posted December 22, 2018 Author Share Posted December 22, 2018 Some of you suggest that after 35 years I start acting like the Boss..... Shooting Bull interjects the Christmas Flow Chart.......... Capt Clark interjects the 'coaching/no coaching' aspect vs. the peanut gallery interference. Cypress Sam is wanting me to test her 'reasoning' ability based on my ability, or lack thereof, to explain that a 'want' is really a 'need'. I think I'll wait for PWB to tell me what the ROIV manual says..... EDIT: PWB has spoken while I was typing. Looks like a plan is now in the works. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sedalia Dave Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Remember if it in not specifically prohibited in the rules then it is by default allowed or is it the other way around. Also remember that you are going to need a lot of accessories. Extra mags, range bag, red dot sight, and a picatinny rail at a minimum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palmetto Traveller Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 I'm with Catlow on this one. High Cotton Kitty has been employing this very excuse for the last 28 years with clothing. Sneak them in, stick em in the closet, then claim they've been there. I now walk in and out with shiny objects so often she doesn't even notice anymore. If questioned, "it's been in the safe I just thought I'd take it out and blow the cobwebs out of it." Good Luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barry Sloe Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 You need to use the "Hideaway" program. I modified my local toy shops layaway program into "hideaway" from the better half (she frequents the same store). Then all I have to do is get it into the safe without her knowing.

I've been playing with one with a sparrow on the end lately. Very accurate, quiet toy Howdy EVIL. I really enjoy playing with .22 pistols and rifles. I got em modified and set up different ways: 10/22's with Feddersen receivers and Feddersen heavy stainless barrels; other 10/22's with KIDD receivers, barrels, triggers, bolts, etc..... and enjoy seeing which setup can be the most accurate. AND..... with different type aftermarket stocks. Also Nikon scope equip. Pistols: Buckmarks and model .41's, both short and long versions, with & without red dot sights. Ammo: most all the good stuff and even some expensive Lapua stuff. Works great in rifles but not as well in pistols. Yes, I would love to get a Volquartsen MK IV setup. Merry Christmas. ..........Widder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G W Wade Posted December 22, 2018 Share Posted December 22, 2018 Reminds me of a story at the LGS. Guy bought an expensive RWS air pistol but didn't dare take it home. Every night he would excuse himself to go to his neighbors garage because Jim had a new air pistol. Christmas Day he received the identical air pistol from his wife. The note enclosed saying you enjoyed Jim's gun so much I bought you one of your own. Jim was still smiling. GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
