Does the Wife Know...???

[jp.cherokee]

This should be interesting. How many of you good old gun folks tell your betterhalf/wife of all the firearms you buy? My wife knows I have a few, but not 11, and I tell her they are to protect the family...So she is pretty cool about it...

[Fjold]

What firearms? Wifezilla doesn't know the combination to the safe or what's inside.

[Harbinger]

Not the wife, yet.... but she's 100% OK with it. She's always been cool with my guns, and is happy that i'm able to get the toys I want!

I may need to buy a few Tumi bags for her, though. ;-)

I tell my wife about all of them. When I see a gun that I like and decide that I want it, she says "why don't you buy it". We always discuss outgoing money whether I am spending or her. Saves MANY problems later on.

My wife thinks every household should have guns and that husbands have an obligation to know firearms to protect the family.

you should see how when some gun controlling types talk to her about "aren't you worried about your husband having guns" and she replies this way how they just kind of sit there speechless.

Wife? What's that?

[Charliegone]

Yeah, wheres the "I don't have a wife don't need one" tab?

[rssslvr]

my wife is totally cool about it.i can buy anything i want as long as the bills get paid

[GTKrockeTT]

she knows i have a good amount, but she really has no clue. i think she lost count at 2.

[PanzerAce]

heh, for me, its more like: Do the parents know yet, and that would be a no for me. I figure Ill let them know this summer, or once these are listed and I have to send in the AW reg...

My wife doesn't know about this activity, but she knows about most of mine.
I do have one shotgun I call the Singer.
She didn't tell me about the new sewing machine, so she doesn't know about the new 20 ga.
She's half an anti, doesn't mind me having guns; but thinks I have enough.
Now my safe is essentially full, with about 5 receivers yet to be built.
Anyone know how to make a safe grow?

My other half is actually warming up to the idea of a few more firearms in the house. Last weekend we went to Panoche Hills with a bunch of friends and she finally decided to try out my .22 against an old dead hard drive. Then she tried a friends Browning BLR, and finally the .357 magnum.

Now she's interested in taking some of the classes that the NRA has for women.

She even asked me "When are you going to finish the AR-15?" :-D

"Need to Know"

All of my weapon purchases are classified as "need to know". She doesn't need to know how many or what type etc... she just knows I have a lot. She doesn't hassle me about it because I don't hassle her about how many Stampin' Up/Creative Memories/Pampered Chef/Party Lite/Home Decore/Racket-du jour (have I listed them all?) things she buys. She is 100% pro 2A and even shoots a little as well. (She even gave me a Glock 19 for my birthday one year) She knows where the home defense weapon is and how to use it. God help the poor bastard who breaks in when I'm not there! She'd make swiss cheese out of him.

My wife met me during the early days of my "sickness" so she accepts it. However, I was busted around 1994 when she found a factory Colt Lightweight Carbine box in the attic (reciept inside). It was a spur of the moment purchase at a gunshow just prior to the AW ban. Boy was she pissed because we really couldn't afford it back then. The Colt cost me $650 plus fees so it was well worth it. I still have the Colt (and wife) by the way.

Now, I'm becoming a "gear queer" and "gadget ***got". My wife gets mad everytime I buy "another backpack". Its ok, she is into shoes and clothes so it evens out.

Wife knows about one lower and finished assembled rifle. Knows absolutely nothing about the second lower in hand and better NEVER find out about the third that CA DOJ is helping me hide....
