Eis,
I have a plan. Explain to her that I can help out with the kenneling. I enjoyed hunting behind Magic, can't wait to meet the new one.

Mine doesn't care. I work my ass off, save money and come home to her. She goes to the Bahamas for her double gun like fix. Comes back tan and happy too

Eis,
Dogs are easy to get into the house, " Just had a text about a dog that is going to be put down if it isn't rehomed " (by today,tonight, next week , next month . Choose to suit!)
Guns ? Now there is another issue !
" Just had this gun given to me or It was a bargain or Only paid a bargain price for it or I thought it may suit you or the Grandchild etc."
Only issue with that is you buggers get my guns for a song when I pass over. But hey ENJOY.

It's like this.

I started as a trap shooter. That's what my 'mentor' did, so trap was the thing for about 4 years. My horizons eventually expanded but I'm still a trap shooter. While I've mostly lost the registered trap shooter mentality I still bear the scars.

My first 'real' trap gun was more than I could afford at the time. I borrowed money with the rather lame story that 'this would be the last gun I ever had to buy'.

Of course, I never hear about that do I?

Well, at least I can truthfully tell her I don't borrow money to buy a gun/boat/atv etc...Geo

I stumbled upon this general conversation 2 decades ago.
It's a generational one. And contentious, prone to unpleasant exchanges and judgemental slights.
Old couples conjoin resources, young one's not so much. And then there's the household where one or the other stays at home.

The level of interchange is tied to how you run your household. Everyone must do what works for them. It's never an outsider's business.

I've seen this plan back-fire when a guys dies very young, and these hidden assets get scarfed up by vultures he thought were his friends instead of going to the guy's widow or children.

Just as bad is when the guy didn't hide the asset, but instead lied about the price or value, and the heirs then sell it for far less than fair market value.

I think Jagermeister has found a pretty good solution to this problem. He just buys guns on Layaway or puts them on hold, tells us all about his new purchase, and then backs out of the deal without ever taking possession of the gun. This approach can save on shipping and FFL Transfer fees too!

Leave Jag alone. He�s �saving� for �retirement�. (Sorry Jag. Had to do it.)

Strike! Strike! Spare spare...USA!

Knew a fellow who use to take a broom handle in a soft case out his door to every gun show. If he bought something he'd leave the broom handle in his truck and bring the gun in the case and tell his wife he had no buyers and was going to put his "old" gun back in the rack. Did this for years I'm told until his wife sent him a text one day while he was at the gun show. "Please pick up a broom handle today and that case better be empty tonight. ". The jig was up. You can't fool them every time and best not try.

They know your purchases are a diversion of resources they view as their's to direct.
They can't wait for you to die to get even by cashing them all in as fast as they possibly can.

Seen it many times.
