Definitely not the best wife in the world if you have to make those sort of promises
I don't have to make these sort of promises. I can't afford any more now. That's why I'm looking at the particular models I am. Somthing nice and versitile. There always seems to be plenty of month left at the end of the money.

Now that's some sound advise. A touch devious perhaps
but sounds great. Now whats this about using a line of credit for a cheap gun purchase? 
If you are that broke, keep saving your pennies and for about the same cost as one those entry level guns at a store, you can get a quality, pre-owned rifle here on the EE that's just as shiny 
I keep a separate fund for guns w/o spending the household cash and in fact have sold guns to pay domestic bills.pharaoh2 said:You spend alot of nights on the couch, don't you?
I don't ask permission or sleep on the couch. My wife gave up wondering about the boxes coming to the door about 20yrs ago.

Poor little thing is worn out, and she is gently slumbering, while I chat on the internet...
What....your hand has gone numb??? - the joys of ambidexterity eh!!!
Gatehouse said:I always find it odd when guys ask thier wives "permission".....
Its easier to get forgiveness than permission! All my wife sees are the same cases coming in or going out of the house. She has no interest in guns, but being American, she is delighted to have them in the house. I prefer shooting them to admiring them and practice drawing/holstering after the kids are in bed. While, I'm doing that, she's planning a new kitchen and some other major renovations.
My wife buys guns for me.
We're up to 4 that she has purchased. Last one was a Browning O/U 20 ga.
When I notice that the gun lockers are getting a bit crowded, she buys me another one.
She is dead-set against hunting anything, but accepts the fact that I'm a hunter. She will go out grouse hunting with me, but turns her back when the birds flush so she doesn't have to see them fall (or not). I'm sure that if I ever took her out when I go deer hunting, she'd be screaming "Run Bambi, Run"
She will gladly go to the range with me, and loves to shoot "her" Anschutz semi-auto .22 and Henry Lever-action. She will shoot all of my rifles, and is a good shot. She rang the 200 yd chicken 3 out of 3 with a hot-loaded .300 Win Mag.
The bills get paid, RRSP's are maxed out every year, I drink very little, so if I want to spend my money on guns, she doesn't say a word. I don't give her a hard time about buying clothes and shoes and we get along just fine.
She knows that if she's away, I'm either in the basement loading, at the range shooting, or here "gunnutting".

I've been saying that for years. Seriously though, once it's in the house, it's just another gun to her. She lost count a while ago.

You definitely have gained the UPPER HAND on this one.......bahahahah
