Adding to the Toolbox

Ok, the wife is not happy. Well sort of. She does not, in her infinite wisdom, believe that it is morally or ethically right to have a pistol, rifle, or shotgun for each and every situation under the sun. I on the other hand, think of them more as tools that have a specific purpose in life (other than just being plain fun). I mean, I've seen her beat a pair of my pliers half to death...

Unfortunately for me, she has seen the old saw about "one man with one gun" in some old book on the bookshelf and likes to throw that out there anytime I'm trying to add to my toolbox so to speak. She forgets that she no longer hunts squirrel with a Rem 1100 and now uses the scoped 597.

Someone please help me with a solid argument that yes, it is indeed proper and required to have the correct rifle, pistol or shotgun for the job at hand. Or at least tell me how you did it. And you can't steal from Gene Hill, because she's already read that too. Oh, and it'd be nice to have this before the ATF sends the stamp for the new suppressor.

Thank you all in advance for your wisdom

I can't say that you shouldn't do it. I always have things to spend money on and so does my wife. If we can't afford both it is easier for me to say "NO" to me than it is to say it to her. I have been spending most of our "disposable income" on the two out buildings that I am putting up. and when they are done I will be spending it on her. She is the hardest working woman I have ever seen and my pride in her is nearly sinful but she takes good care of me and I give her what she needs to feel good.

Wow! that's not something you see everyday... It is nice to have a supportive spouse. That's why I have to say "NO" to myself so often, my wife would let me spend all the money on myself.

MG can turn and burn a gun so fast and usually bring in a pretty nice profit. He is a master gunsmith and get just about any gun in working condition. I praise is efforts. He also knows how to take care of his family. It's an investment.
Nurseholly,
I wish you both many more happy years.
