Once again a wife kills a gun sale. A guy calls, asks for more pictures, more details, speak to him twice and says he wants it. Then, he has to ask his wife and she says no he can not buy it.These kind of guys who have to ask their wife for permission should do that ahead of time and not waste the sellers time asking for more pictures and lots of other details. They need to get the ok from their wife before they play with guns.
I find this happens more with the cheaper guns, under $1500 and with most being under $1000.
So for the guys who need permission, they need to make sure they are allowed to have it ahead of time!

Yup, sure is an irritation !! That is why YEARS ago we set up a "gun fund" and a "fun fund". Mine was gun and her's was fun. No permissions needed, we are both adults, and no impact on family funds. The ONLY question allowed is "Where are you gonna put it?!" Mike

I have had a separate gun buying fund for many years. There's never been a problem in my household. Jim

I think they may be a way out for some guys with cold feet. It's easy to blame someone else. terc

If I had to ask, it would be time for a new wife. Guys that have to ask are either irresponsible or split tails.

And then there's the guy who's wife demanded a like amount of money for every gun that he bought. Years ago I walked in the front door with a shotgun and foolishly said, "Jeanine, I bought you and new shotgun." She will let me shoot it if I ask.
