I'm asking for a MUCH bigger gun safe!

I have definitely outgrown my little 12 gun Stack-on.  Don't get me wrong.....I will keep IT TOO for my milsurp, I just need a new one for all of my other "toys".

I have so many guns, I need more room...If I get more room....I can get more guns....then I'll need more room....

My goal is to eventually have a basement with a safe door for an entrance!
The problem with troubleshooting is....sometimes it shoots back!

I learned a long time ago that when I want something not to ask anyone but to just go buy it. That's the policy I still follow.

Millennium Chronograph, infrared light kit, battery pack, and carry case.  I know, cause I ordered it.  LOML didn't know enough to do it herself.

I told wife I wanted the Dallas Cheer Leaders and to move to Alaska. She said the first would kill me and I'am not gonna live long enough  to see her move to Alaska. She said I should take my medication and I would be OK in about an hour. :eek:

You are either a brave or fool-hardy man!  I have asked for a GPS with the ability to download detailed computer maps for Christmas.  My wife took many years of karate and then several years of Kung-Fu.  She is there when I am asleep, so I have to make sure I really don't "pis#" her off too much.

I have to agree with Graybeard, that if there is something I really want, I go out an buy it, and then hand it to my wife to give to me as a present.  

However we have a mutual understanding, she will not buy me firearms (doesn't want to go through the background check and it would be a straw-man purchase of sorts), I have resigned myself to buy my own firearms and do it regularly.

Actually over the weekend I did some Christmas shopping for a couple fo the guys in the office.  I went to the local gunshow and did some on-line ordering from Graf & Sons.  For one coworker,  I purchased 250 rounds of 45 (long) Colt ammo.  For another coworker and friend, who has two WW-II Japanese rifles his dad gave him, a box of Graf & Sons-Hornady 6.5mm Japanese ammo and a box of 7.7mm Japanese ammo.

It should be an NRA Christmas in the office.

Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

Not brave or fool harted, just an OLD ex sailor  :twisted: .
Like Graybead ifin I want something I just go buy it. Wife dosent shop for guns and reloading stuff for me and I dont go into the womans dept. stores and shop for her. (I could really cause some problems doing that).  Around my birthday or christmass shell mention something about what I want and ifin I give her an idea she gets ahold of the son in law and I usuall wind up with a gift certificate from one of the on-line sporting good places. It still costs me cause I always find something else to go with what I want.
My wife is a crack shot with hand gun or rifle as she grew up on a ranch, but she perfers a nr# 9 or 10 grizzwald cast iron skillet. (dammed do those things echo  :shock: )

Gunrunner,
I never heard the echo.I was always flat out on the floor by then.Your wife must not have the swinging arm that mine does or else you are ducking and getting glancing blows.
The more I listen,the more I hear....and vice versa.
