Selling a kid is painful - and illegal in most states ... :smilelol5:

I have no idea how many guns we own. And we are BOTH part of the problem.

Two gun-ophiles should never, never, ever get together. Unless they are going to combine their inventory and start a gun shop. But, that might involve SELLING a gun, and around our house, selling a gun is like selling one of the kids. Not that we wouldn't ever do it, but it would be painful.
The guns or the kids? :biggrinjester: :biggrinjester: :biggrinjester:

:cheers2: You out to try it with guns AND Motorcycles... If it dont shoot, rev or look good in/on the house.... it dont get bought, and what gets bought,,,, there is pleanty of. Is there such a thing as too much??? Maybe, but we have not gotten there yet.

Crossfire you inspire me... :tiphat: Business.... a Range, with CHL and basic instruction, where you can ride your bike in and get it serviced while on the range..

All my favorites, and I don’t have to sell a bike or gun. The Kid can work for us, or be sold, I’m not real firm on that.

Are you done buying guns yet?" :cool:
See which ones have appreciated in value since you purchased them, let them go and get the floor with the money.

It will probably pay you back 10 fold.

I have always found that it is easier to get forgiveness than permission...except when it comes to my wife! With her, it is better to go the permission route. I just make deals. I wait for her to want to make a big purchase and negotiate a gun on my end. No surprises and everyone is happy. :thumbs2:

Are you married yet? :evil2:

Believe me, there are many times that a woman is in charge - this, in my life, is one of them :lol:
I am, just over four years now and I know what you mean quite well. :grumble

I bought the Glock with her blessing, she was even there and told me to get it when I said maybe I should wait a little longer. :cool:

:hurry: Boasting about ones wife is likely considered prideful and some other sin or socially ignorant thing, but since you all brought it up..

Every deployment we do a “Deployment gun” So every 1.5-2 years I get a new gun “Automatically” :evil2: Last year’s deployment (2009-2010) My Boss, LTC Tim Karcher, was horribly wounded in an IED strike.. I mentioned to my wife, LTC Karcher and I had been working on the deployment gun selection just before he was hit..She suggested,,,” Well when you buy yours, buy a second one, and lets present it to him from the unit” fast forward to this deployment...
I was talking to my wife last week, and she asked" Hey, have you guys picked a deployment gun yet? What is it? Can I do anything from home to help?" (She helped with the buy from Springfield last year)

This is my wife, my life, and I love it, can’t imagine having to hide or beg forgiveness later. That is not meant in a derogatory way to anyone here, who has posted or is reading a reply.. Just my personal life and way of thinking.

She knows the combinations to the locks but does not open them. :txflag: :anamatedbanana :woohoo :patriot:
