Wife's irritated, need .45ACP justification!

Next time you buy a gun and she chastises you just reply: "you want a cookie?" and when she opens her mouth to yell at you, jam an oreo in there and turn the TV on. Then quickly kiss her on the cheek and walk away saying something about having to get to work so you can pay for her to be at home eating oreos and watching TV all day.

Take that advice with a grain of salt, as I'm not married. Seriously now, the guys suggesting you buy her something nice at the same time have the right idea, thats certainly what I'd do. It may not have to be of the same value (and she needn't know that), just get her a little something nice and make sure she knows you love her more than the guns (lie if need be).

Slick, you be one funny mofo!. At least I pay the rent and I do make our $500 truck payment......

thats why you need a bigger collection, so when you get a new one she won't notice. you can say.. "what... i have had this for years"

You call that thing a truck ?

Looks more like a Mafia car.

Hey where is Guido with the Thompson out the window?

I don't show her and when she sees it I say I always had it Its stopped working lately since she's seen too many different ones As the others, I now do the coach bag or something similar to occupy her mind

That is no Mafia staff car!. You may refer to it as "the mad max truck", or "the area 51 patrol vehicle". In my sick, distorted mind , it is a mating of a humvee and an Acura!.

I have the same problem.......I recently made my first purchase a Glock 23 after months of arguing that we needed it because of all the crap that happens around where we live. Hell we even had a shooting happen in our complex!!! When I got the gun I made sure that she was able to use it too (made sure it fit in her hand). She wanted to come with me when I got it so she could see it. I started to mention about the Kimber CPD 1911's and she just about blew so I am trying to figure out how I can ease her into the idea of getting another gun. I am also (which I am surprised at) talking to her about concealed carry permits, again because of all the crap around us. I know I have heard it all before, move but right now we cant so better to defend and protect then get taken advantage of. I want to use the microstamping as a way to get another gun but I am unsure how to respond to why do we need another. But what makes it really tough is that she is originally from MT. And her dad is an avid hunter with lots of guns but she still will not budge.

Well, since you already have one, the answer is obvious for the next.

You have two hands!

Of course, she has 2 hands, too, so you need her armed. So the next 2 are ok. But then you need back-ups, just in case one doesn't work.

Then explain to her how the stainless steel of your 1911 conflicts with the soft brass or gold tinges of your favorite belt and you really need a black one. Women understand that kind of language.

Of course, we all know you shouldn't come to a gun fight with a pistol, but to bring long guns... and everyone you know with long guns, so you're going to need some rifles for you and all your friends.

A shotgun is essential, too. It's the best home defense choice.

Oh, and if you buy jewelry for her, your house will become more of a target, which means it needs better protection.

You'll definitely need a bigger safe for her jewels and your guns.

Shall I go on?
