Hiding purchase from significant other

[40calibre]

(UPDATED) Page 3, post #104

Just wanting to see others opinions out there. Sorry if not current thread.

2013 I've become a first time owner. With the excitement of a new hobby and panic, I went into a buying frenzy. I ended up going into some savings after ammo and range time. My finance has been patient and enjoyed going to the range with me. She usually makes me promise that my last purchase will be my last, and this time she is for real.

She really doesn't want me purchasing right now because she wants us to pay for the wedding and buy a house before I keep spending money.

I've been wanting to buy a Glock 19 ever since the hype of ccw came around. I figure you never know when this market of availability will end and I should just buy it now. I also think if I ever really need cash I could sell if for at least $450, if unfired.

Now the controversy is if I bought it I would hide it, locked and put it in a place it wouldn't be found. Then bring it up next year when adequate time has passed.

So has anyone else done this before? Someone talk me out or into it.

Bad idea. If you have to hide your guns from her is she worth marrying? What else are you hiding?

Not good idea, me thinks.

Your starting off on the wrong foot and it's gonna bite you in the azz!

i done it.
Pro tip. Don't leave the receipt lying on the floor in the bathroom.

Go for the gun. Women will always find something else you need to spend your money on; wedding, house, vacation, new car, etc. "We can't afford it now...." There is never a time when, according to your significant other, you can afford anything other than what they want.

Just tell her it is on sale and going off roster. I'm sure there will be something she wants on sale and going out of stock someday.

First of all retrieve your little soldiers from your wife's purse and reattach. Second go and buy whatever your little heart desires and then man up and tell her about it. If you are already scheming on how to lie to your soon to be wife you are marrying the wrong person or are not ready or responsible enough for marriage.

or trade one of your other guns for one.

Thank you all for the quick responses. I most likely won't fall through with the idea. I know it isn't the right way to start off a marriage. Thanks for those talking me out of it.

I will bring it up to her about purchasing it though and more so when it is close to falling off roaster.

I wouldn't recommend it, especially if you're about to get married. Marriage is based on trust and losing some of that over a gun purchase isn't worth it. My wife and I have been together for 12 years and married for 8. I don't hide any of my purchases from her nor do I have to get permission. She trusts that I understand our finances and will make responsible decisions.

no one in the larger cities is going to get a CCW anytime soon so don't buy it because of that. Glocks are a dime a dozen. They wont be a rare commodity in our lifetimes. Save your dough and get it when the time is right for both of you.

Man, you should stop, it is obsession already.. if you went to savings for guns... if you lye to your wife about f...n 450 purchase....
You should stop.... There is always going to be a gun you absolutely need and there is always going to be an excuse to get one right now...
Grow up

Get a side job. Advertize on craigslist for odd jobs, yard work, dog walking, etc. Sell something you don't need/want as much.

She can't object if you manage to drum up the money for it, can she?
