The part of your thread about your wife and her views concerning your gun "habit" amused me and brought to mind a incident when my wife and I were first married. My wife know before we married that I smoked a pipe. One evening I lit my pipe up in the house. She gave my a scolding look and remarked, "you are not going to smoke that thing in my house". I looked at her and asked, "Oh, did you buy a house too? I promise that I won't smoke in "your house." 43 years later and I've never heard another word about it.
