DocWard Posted January 6, 2019 Share Posted January 6, 2019 I constantly explain that after a certain relatively low number, it becomes less about need, and more about want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. !!

Pat Riot Posted January 7, 2019 Share Posted January 7, 2019 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.

Buffalo Creek Law Dog Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 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.

Iron Biscuit SASS#108048 Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramblin Gambler Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chili Ron Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 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 CR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
