I boxed up my remaining frame for shipping to H&R back in OCTOBER. It has been sitting next to the dining room table since then. Today my wife says, "with the Oklahoma tax return coming, you really should ship this thing off."

"Yeah, baby, I've been needing to take care of that....."

Big smile driving to work this morning.

The nuisance factor has paid OFF!

The way I got my first Handi was I put it on layawy at the local gun store. I paid it off on a Friday and had him call the home phone number when my wife was home to say that I won the raffle and I could come down and pick up my gun. It has worked 3 times so far.

There is one down fall to this though. After the third time she said I should play the loto evey week and can't wait for us to hit. There goes my gun money.

Really my wife thinks I won 3 guns or I hope she thinks I won 3 guns. It has never been a problem hidding $30.00 or $40.00 from her but it is hard to play the loto and $30.00 or $40.00 a week

I suggest we start a new free barrel accessory program at Dale's. If we don't get good service (like a 2 week turn around), we email his wife. Let's see ... I think I'll start with a .357 ...

Just kidding ... your secret (system) is safe with us ...

Dale all guy code of ethics apply here. Meaning I wont tell if you dont tell.

That should be a Man Law.

No squealing on your fellow man when they're trying to hide money to purchase firearms. Even if they're buying a caliber that you really, really want.

cascadedad · « **Reply #16 on:** February 16, 2007, 07:18:36 AM »

OK, I admit, I have done a similar thing. I learned it from the best, my dad. Now I am teaching my son.

Don't think for a second that our wives don't get away with stuff. Last night we were laying in bed and my wife said, "If feels kind of cold in here tonight." I just got up and changed the thermostat and got back into bed. As I was laying there, I thought, "Dang, why did I get up, I wasn't cold

?" Then I went to sleep.

This is my new gun stratagy. I tell the wife Im going to the range,&when I walk out of the house Im carrying an empty gun case. When I come home its not empty any more. Its worked twice now

This may be a tall tale but I heard a story one time that this guy went on a hunting trip with his buddies every year. Well his wife would pack his clothes every year. upon returning from the hunt the wife asked if he had a good time he said yea and he missed a big buck opening day. Then he went on to say that she forgot to pack his underware. She walked over to his gun case opened it and there was his underware. Talk about being busted.

That's an Urban legend, funny though.
I don't have the problem of "sneaking" stuff past the wife, I just tell her that the"50 year old rule", says I can buy what I want.

Also means that she can too, but as long as she's working, knock your socks off.

shaner · « **Reply #20 on:** February 16, 2007, 02:18:47 PM »

i use to do similair things .sneak guns in , take a empty gun caseto say a gun show or what ever, and bring it back with a gun in it, she'd say whats that , oh i took it to trade and didnt 'find anything i was interested in , works everytime ,,,,

DalesCarpentry · « **Reply #21 on:** February 16, 2007, 02:42:21 PM »

What is the 50 year rule? Have you been married 50 years? If so go buy anything you like you deserve it and she does too.

I pretty much use Hunter 63's way of doing things. I buy a gun she buys something she wants it works for both of us. As far as I am concerned I feel like I am getting the better end of the deal. I even bought a gun when I was out to sea. Gotta love Gunbroker and patriotic people willing to hold it for you until you get back.

The 50 Year Old Rule, means that all kinda of stuff that you were always afraid to do, you can do now, as you put up with every body's wishes for the first 50 years of your life, and should be able to do what you want.

Thought it up on a trip out to "The Place" our cabin.

Left after work, take about 4 hrs to get there, so at a gas/potty stop, wife and I picked up some candy, chips, sodas etc @ about 5:00 P.M. (suppertime).

Girl behind the counter looked at us like we were breaking the "you'll spoil your supper" rule.
Looked her straight in the eye, told her I was invoking the 50 year old rule, and "could spoil my supper" if I wanted, and maybe even "run with scissors" later for some kicks.
She said "OH".
Been using it every since!

Very useful for a lot of stuff, and generally everyone leaves you alone. (Including buying guns)

P.S. all of you that are over 50, you may use this as you wish, but I refuse to accept any responsibility. (50 year old rule)
