Has this happened to you ?

I tell her I'm ordering and ask if she wants anything.  If she's not around and I think she'd like it, I just order two.  She's gotten at least three of her Handis that way.  She plays in a band and had someone follow her home the same night a barmaid was assaulted, so now she's in the market for a new carry weapon.

My wife-mate made one comment quite some time ago; don't really remember what it was but it had something to do with my toys...  :-\
 
Anyway, I suggested we go back and compare what we each spend on ourselves every month.  She immediately said NO and has never said another word about it!   ;D

As long as her (my, supposedly) boat, fishing rod, and ipad are in good shape.  A fishing trip for catfish on the Mississippi is in the works, she's good ;)

This is part of why I'm on my own again.  She couldn't handle that I spent money on gun stuff.  She didn't care if my spending budget went for anything else...

My wife's father was a gun nut, reloader and historian. He especially liked vintage firearms (civil war - Indian wars) and WWII military type guns. So she does not give me grief over ordering supplies/equipment and most times she is with me when I purchase a gun.I am luckier than most. Just celebrated 39 years of bliss on the 22nd.

My wife loves to shoot and has her "own" gun collection.  Funny though, many of "her" guns look like ones that I bought for myself. :-\   Of course whenever one of my guns "goes missing"  I just find another one that I like even better. ;)

You folks are lucky to be able to protect yourselves like that.

in Canada, the RCMP tell you to submit to the assault, and with luck, you'll survive it.....

I think they are WRONG!
