Are my gun buying days over?

[pipmaster1971]

Found this comment from my wife on a copy of American Rifleman that was left open on my computer desk this morning. In fairness it was a $3000 Bushmaster

Do'h

 

[Sir_Macadoo]

that is truly awesome!

 

[AppleSeeds]

LOL.

 

[HooVooLoo]

ROFLMAO. That's love!

 

[RadiCS]

That's funny!!

 

[atmay]

I can't even imagine what would happen if I came home with an ACR and the wifey found out!

 

[jenlynn724]

You would explain that you got a great deal on it, and are planning to sell it at 20% off list to some other NESer and make a tidy profit

Wife and I have a good understanding about $$. If the $$ is there, I buy what I want and she buys what she wants. Worked for 52 years now. Of course, we don't agree on lots of other stuff. Jack.

Pip, she obviously means that SHE is going to buy it for you, and she doesn't want you to have to return one (if you both bought one).

That's true love.

I've used that one so many times she sees right through it.

 

[pipmaster1971]

She did mention something about it's ok if there is a diamond ring in the deal somewhere.

 

[MrsWildweasel]

My response would be " If you really want it just go ahead and get it."

 

[Marcus5aurelius]

lol awesome

Ross beat me to it. Keep your eyes peeled for her sneaking boxes in the house.

Hey, it doesn't hurt to be optimistic, right?

 

[dwarven1]

Uh-huh. And look how well that worked for WildWeasel. Is he enjoying his .45? When he can pry it out of your hands, that is.

 

[gws1063]

I think your wife was just defining the upper limit for purchases. What she really means is that $3K is out of the question, but at $2.9K, you're good to go!

[drgrant]

So it's okay if you spend like 6K total as long as half of it is on her....

-Mike

 

[Reptile]

In fairness...

You can get one for $2,000. Then spend $1,000 on her - maybe a new handbag?

 

[MrsWildweasel]

He gets visitation to some of them.

 

[Keystone]

That means you can buy whatever you want, just so long as you don't stop to think about what you are doing. Enjoy all of your new toys! (...and the couch)

 

[twogunwilly]

I think she meant not unless it has a flashlight and a laser on the front rail.

 

[KMaurer]

"This old thing? Why it's been sitting in the back of the safe for the last 15 years. I just decided to get it out and shoot it for a change."

Seriously: Her checking account, your checking account; your joint checking account. ==> No problems.

You guys are wimps! I buy what ever I want........ as long as my wife doesn't find out

 

[jarhead66]

Look what I won at the last NES shoot honey!!

Rookies!!

 

[usmcs/s]

STAY SINGLE

 

[FalArAk]

Looks like a guys writing to me.

 

[dwarven1]

You guys are wimps!

I am not! I'm the boss in my house, and I have my wife's permission to say so!

 

[K-DUB]

I think you should take one of her catalogs (Coach, Victoria's Secret, Neiman Marcus, etc...), find an item that she likes, & leave her a similar note.
