When we first married 23 years ago, I was in the military. So needless to say guns were always around. I bought her a couple handguns. She got to where she could out shoot me with them. Now days we(kids and i) hunt regularly. She will go on occasion. She will gladly pickup ammo and accessories for us. Yes I got reallll lucky.
Recently we took inventory, can you say DONT DO THAT!!. For now on I will take inventory
. Since then when a gun purchase comes up in discussion, she ask which gun am I getting rid of
. I usually try the excuse my boy(16 in Oct) needs or really wants it. That did work a couple times.
So for his birthday I was determined to pick up a Beretta .22 neon pistol for him. I took the chance last week, found a deal on one. Put it on layaway(they only had one) Yesterday she was heading in town shopping. She was in a good mood. I showed her what it was on the internet. Explained it was cheaper to shoot then a new cell phone
. She grinned and went to the gun store. She got there and found out here drivers license was not in her purse. After returning home and giving me her story, she then stated "I SEEN SEVERAL HANDGUNS WE MAY NEED TO LOOK AT" They stock a load of used guns (111 guns) and decent prices. So can you say we have her back in the fold for now
.
For anyone trying to get their honey into shooting. Get a .22 auto pistol. or a small gripped 9mm. She started on these and loved shooting. Guess she has gone full circle, I am going to buy her another. Dang it, another gun coming home
