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

Look up the article in The wall Street Journal that stated that guns are a better investment than stocks and bonds because in the past 10 years they have had a larger profit margin than any other investment.

Florida Shooters Network ? View topic - guns are better investments than stocks!!!
You can buy as many guns as you want my dear. I know you are the most knowledgeable person on the subject. And I trust your judgement completely.

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.

Sounds like Inor and Slippy got the cream of the crop in wives. And I like Not so Youngs plan too.

She does have enough shoes that if the SHTF, looters are gonna think this was Imelda's Mississippi retreat. I think that is gonna be her Achilles heel in this argument. Now I've just got to man up and hope like hell I'm not asking to bunk with y'all next time!

What's the old saying...win the battle and lose the war?
I like to think mean green has a pretty awesome wife too... although I am the lucky one...
