No more guns I said.!!

[Painted Mohawk SASS 77785]

You know what it's like..you tell the wife ' well I'm thinkin' I don't need to buy any more guns I have all the ones that I really need !

That was 2 guns ago & just now I have shouted myself a belated Xmas present...bought a new Bond  Derringer in .357..I mean I can't be borrowing one all the time for side matches' I said....I mean ya' gotta' have your own ..right ?

Now I'm wondering about a lever action shotgun..best leave that for a while till' I have a good reason... !!! 

[Hardpan Curmudgeon SASS #8967]

Isn't having one to shoot a good reason...?  

[Big Jake1001]

Ya gotta be careful with the little buggers, they multiply like rabbits. 

 

Just sayin'

I had all I needed.... seven guns ago.

[Blackwater 53393]

You have to remember, NEED is irrelevant where obtaining guns is concerned!!    

 

[DocWard]

I constantly explain that after a certain relatively low number, it becomes less about need, and more about want.

[Cold Lake Kid, SASS # 51474]

Hey Painted Mohawk!You need a "Good Reason"???

Why not just a "REASON" ?

Like, oh I dunno; The sun came up this morning in the East? 

Or you did a good job getting the the lawn cut; Or getting groceries or..........................

[Hashknife Cowboy]

You're preaching to the choir here....look what followed me home already in 2019.....no need, just had to have 

[Knarley Bob]

Don't forget the, "Oh, I MIGHT need one sooner or later" argument.

[Chickasaw Bill SASS #70001]

beware false ideas , 

ya will always NEED more guns or think ya do 

 

  just the way it is

My wife laughs every time I tell her I  am going to sell most of mine except for the ones I truly need and list them.  All except the guns I carried as a cop and a hunting rifle and the guns I used to compete with and.....

Yep Mike..I kinda' think I can relate to that, but in all honesty my beautiful wife shoots Cowboy with me so I think she really understands the passion I have for guns.  !!

You said "No more guns" ……………

 

 

 

 

 

 

          ……..………………. and you believed yourself ?

Guns are tools!

Different guns for different jobs.

 

I got this point across to my wife one day when she said she needed some specific muffin pans. We had just had a discussion a couple of days prior when I said I wanted to build a specific AR-15. She said “You have enough guns.” I explained that they are like tools.

I told her she had enough pans. She got frustrated and told me she needed the new pans to make smaller muffins for a new recipe. 

I told that perhaps now she could understand why different guns have different uses, much her pans.

She did remind me that her pans cost a hell of a lot less than my guns.

Don't forget the 60 day rule.  When you buy a new gun, you keep it from your wife for at least 60 days.  Then you can bring it out and when she says, "When did you buy that?"  "This gun? I have had this for a long time."  And you are not fibbing.

[Red Eye Jim]

You got to be careful with that one BC.  My wife will squint at me and ask how long is a "long time?"

Its a wonder she didn't need a few more new pans after that discussion.

It’s obvious to me I need to proof read more... Or has Auto Correct introduced a word removing feature that comes in to play when you hit “submit”? 

[Iron Biscuit SASS#108048]

Well, you seem friendly, and you can't lend a Bond  Derringer in .357 to a friend, if you don't have one!   So , you're just thinking of others really!  Great guy! your wife should be proud!

[Ramblin Gambler]

Last week my wife told me she was worried about my ammo situation.  She said she surveyed the ammo shelves before Christmas, and it looked like I only had ammo for firearms that I owned and she thought we oughta keep some for other calibers too.  Just in case.  I said, "You realize if I buy strange ammo I'll have to buy a gun for it eventually, right?"  She said "Why, whatever do you mean?"

 

I married a good one.  My only problem is that I'm at a loss for what calibers to add next.  44-40 seems to be an obvious choice, but what else?

Howdy,,

At one time I sat at a pards kitchen table discussing how WE (the SASS community)

just needed one more gun.

And there it is.

The new lever action shotgun.

At one time I was on the list of pards to get one of the first batch.

They came along much later than planned so I gave up my spot(s) in the line.

The lever action shotgun is just a bit more of a handful than I thought it would be.

If you try one and really like it, be sure you get a GOOD one.

There are cheap knock off copies. Avoid them.

Get the Coyote Cap type or just avoid them.

Best
