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

You are in MS right? Drive her to Memphis, or Atlanta, or New Orleans and find MLK Jr. Blvd. That should do the trick.

Get in the habit of picking up a box or two of ammo every time you go to a store that carries ammo.

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 appreciate the comments sir! I can tell you that nearly 27 years of marriage has taught both of us things that we would never have imagined the first couple of years of marriage. Many people have said that I have become a nicer man because of her and she has changed and taken on some of my old hard ways which she needed to do. She is better looking today than she was the day we met and I joke to her that if I knew years ago how much she liked old, fat, grey headed men, I wouldn't have worked so hard staying in shape as a younger man!

I could talk about her for hours and the bottom line is that God has blessed me greatly.
You know the difference between pink and purple? The grip :lol:
Mrs Slippy, our boys who are both home for Christmas and Son 2's girlfriend are playing cards. I laughed out loud and they all looked at me. I just smiled. God Bless you all, I get such a kick out of you all, my American Brothers and Sisters! Thanks for welcoming me to this forum.
