It's finally gonna happen

The Wife called me yesterday while I was at work and asked me, "so how much does an AR-15 cost again?" When I told her she said that she had just finished baying bills and wanted me to go get one for my birthday.

I just stood there with this dumb look on my face, shocked. I think I'm gonna go shopping today

Congratulations. When my wife saw me eyeballing a S&W 1911 she said you like that one, don't you - I said yes, very much, to which she replied why don't you get it. I did and its laying right in front of me as I type this.

And how much jewelry did she want in exchange???

Kind of makes one look forward to being another year older.

Luckily all she wears is her wedding ring, a necklace with a simple icthus and some occasional toe rings.

But I do have to wonder what she will pick out when we start her on the path to her CHL.

So where did you find this rare pick of the 'female species'?

She was an intern that walked past my office door, long red hair and a long flowing skirt. The rest is history

Isn't it awesome when your woman wants to BUY you a gun w/o you asking? My wife did the same thing to me and i stood there speechless.

Usually if my wife wants me to buy a new gun, she already has what she wants in mind!!

Weird. I just got exactly the same thing. I got this today in my birthday card

today
IOU at least 1

with complete accessories
emphasis hers. She added if we have the money we will get the LWRC 308 when they come out. I think I may have gotten something in my eye when I read that. Basically she had decided that whatever we make off of our puppies is my gun money. Six years ago she bought me a motorcycle for Fathers Day.
Plus she is hot enough to cause car wrecks and loves playing crazed weasels as she calls it anytime anywhere anyhow. Cooks, cleans and irons my jeans. Yes we are very lucky men. Took me forty years before I found this one and I am keeping her. In answer to the inevitable question yes she gets any piece of jewelry and pair of shoes her little heart desires' Just converted a spare bedroom into her shoe room. Thankfully she prefers silver and semi precious stones like turquoise and opals over gold and diamonds
