If I had to ask, it would be time for a new wife. Guys that have to ask are either irresponsible or split tails. Amen to that- women have no damn business meddling in a man's gun buying, unless they are Annie Oakley or "Plinky" Topperwein- back in the days when they didn't have to worry about voting, and the man was the sole breadwinner- and decided how to spend his hard-earned money. I just bought Mavis, my current Lady- a nice new Bosch dishwasher for Xmas, and she is as happy as can be-and right where she spends most of her at my house, in the kitchen--

Don't ask, don't tell. I am however very tricky about sneaking'em in the house!...Geo The late Gene Hill wrote the book on that special op- chapter and verse--My kinda guy- didn't take any crap from Mrs. Hill, went hunting or shooting whenever the spirit moved him--

I have one of the wives that encourages me to buy whatever I want, also. The last gun came out of the blue, totally unexpected, and a great deal to boot. I really had to scratch for the money. When I brought it home, I noted it would be an excellent investment, and she said, "I don't know what it is for sure, but, it is beautiful, and I think you should keep it". I did. We've never fought about money. I get to pick the dogs, too-but I only get one at a time. Seems fair to me.
Best, Ted

Never ask permission; but I have had to beg for forgiveness a few times.

Sorry to hear that.
I give my wife shotguns as Christmas gifts or for her birthday. I think she had over thirteen or so. They are great collector items and boy do they shoot well. BTW she lost count years ago

This thread dovetails with a gunsafe's other purpose.

I tell my wife the gun safe is a gun incubator. She says they do seem to multiply in there pretty often.
