Dangerous Gun Story!!

Rod said:
Did you not mention that you sold one of your surplus firearms to generate cash to purchase one you wanted? There may be time, before the new arrives, to casually mention that.

Occassionly we trade firearms and the firearm knocking on your door may just be one of those. . . "Oh Honey, that gun I traded for the old one should be showing up at the door any day now. You don't mind signing for it if I'm not home, huh"? . . :)

Amen, brother. ALL of my new guns are acquired in a trade. If I am not trading another gun for them, I am trading them for cash. ;)
 
Funny sort of, update to the situation.

Wife and I were sitting down watching some late night TV, last week, and she says, "So you bought another gun, eh?"
And I'm right away trying to figure out WHICH ONE she knows about!!
"How much did that cost?"
So now it's oh s**t... what do I say? I don't want to give anything away... or as little as possible...
Me... "Ummm... $600." Then, "Er, did Niki tell you?" That's my daughter that I took out shooting. She was firing the CZ-97B that I bought. BUT... she didn't say anything else, and I'm thinking, *Maybe it was the CZ-858?*. She let me sit there nervously.

Well the 7 firearms cost:
$1500
$325
$1200
$1200
$600
$700
$600

So I sorta told the truth, cuz there was a couple that I paid $600 for. And that was the end of it for then.

Then a couple days ago, she asked me again, and she told me I lied about the $600. So somehow she saw a VISA statement or something. She said, "I know you paid more then that..."
So I'm like of s**t, which gun is she talking about... so I said "$1100?"
And then it got into a whole bunch of, "I forget..."

Anyway, she's definitely onto me, so this thing is far from dead. :redface:
 
Not worth lying about. I check with my wife on every purchase, my wife comes before my guns, or any other hobby. Plus if you piss her off, the gun toys make you no happier in the end. Just sit down with her, and tell her it all, playing hide and seek games will only destroy any trust she has in you. After that, it'd take a lot longer to rebuild that than to deal with the issue straight up, and the fallout. Good luck.
 
^ You know the saying, "It's easier to get #### than ask permission." Well I live by it.

Normally though, I only buy a gun here or there, so it hasn't been an issue, but I just ran into this glut of guns that I just had to have. I bought 7 in 2 months and I've just been treading water hoping all of it goes away. :redface:
 
hehe

U missed the scam.. u don't buy then with a card. U use cash it is easy to scam. I offer to do the grocery shopping. I pay with a card and get 50 bucks cash back. I do that at the LCBO as well. That's a cool 100 a week she does not know about, and I never let her see in the safe to know how many are in there!!!
 
no offense, but are you looking for a divorce?

bills arent paid, and youre out blowing money intended for said bills on guns, and lying to your wife about it?

good job

OK? Ready for a scary frickin situation!? :eek:


Yesterday the wife wants me to pull up the bank statement... the online thingy.

Man I was s**tting my pants!! I've managed to buy 7 guns this summer, when I'm supposed to be in a No-Buy-Guns-Situation. I've damn near got the purchases swept under...

So I pulled up the banking website and I'm like, trying hard to swallow...



"We owe what!?"

"What's this!?"

"Where was that money spent!?"

"Why haven't you paid this (card)!?"

"Let me see that account!!"




Blah, blah, blah...




And by the grace of the Great Hunting God, she missed the transactions that woulda sunk my boat!!

But I might be doomed anyhow. Last week Gun #7 was purchased; a CZ-97B. Seemed like a good thing until I realized after-the-fact, that since it's restricted, it has to be delivered to the door. I don't see how I'll ever be able to hide that one... I have maybe a 1 in 10 chance of getting away with it... :redface:

I'm in enough trouble already without hearing about SUCH A GREAT IDEA!! :eek:
 
Demonical, when you buy a gun sell a gun. If my wife lied to me or hid signifigant financial info from me it would be the start of the end (and vice-versa).

Just sell your 5 least favorite plinkers, hand her the cash and tell her you'll sell another batch come income tax return time.

Or go with the 'as long as it aint cocaine and whores..............' approach (not recomended)
 
My wife has a 3rd degree black belt in shopping, She can do the dualing credit cards kata. I buy whatever I want cause she has about 80 pairs of shoes, 27 handbags, belts, makeup, pants, dresses, skirts, shirts... The list goes on. She wears something new every day. Good thing I'm making more than she can spend.
 
Is this like one of those briefcases...

you know, the one filled with stacks of money, but only the top few bills are real..the rest just a stack of paper!!

But seriously, when your stack of reg. certs takes up a "measurable volume", I can only imagine what the firearms take up!!

Beyond a certain point, they cannot tell if you have aded to the stash. Not sure where that number was, but I am past it....

You gotta make sure you log out of CGN account every time. Otherwise, next time your wife turns on the computer and accidentally opens this page and check your profile and runs a list of all your posts, you are screwed. My wife once playfully asked if she can read my posts, looking over my shoulder as I typed away on CGN. My mind was paralized for a little moment but soon enough I regained my composure and just hit the power button quickly and said "oops honey, I was just shutting down the computer". My wife knows that I have 8 guns so every time I want a new one, I sell one that is least of my favorites. At the same, I am honing my collection to the ones I really like and shoot often and get rid of the ones I rarely touch or don't enjoy shooting.
 
Wow that's one way to do it. Does she spend similarly?

I tell my wife about all my gun purchases. I've set a budget that I put into a separate account each month, and it increases until I spend it on whatever the next purchase is. Just bought a barrel, saving for a Sightron scope. She's not crazy on guns, but appreciates and respects that I keep to a budget.

Can't see it working for your marriage though, mine wouldn't last like that.
 
Actually, the stack is sorta fake. Some of the pages are my wife's guns.

I have been buying interesting guns for over 40 years. For the last two years I have been selling some off. Sold about 30 and would like to sell 30 more, so rifles fit the racks in the gun room.

My wife is interested in the gun sales. Sold two rifles and she used money to go to Italy with her girl friend for two weeks.

Do you know the difference between rifles and gold?

Gold sometimes goes down in value....
