The Joy of "Just a gun".

That phrase is a famous one by GNR. It's meaning is much deeper than one may first think. Sure they are lifeless mechanical devices but made by people and have history, every one of them. When I embark into territory that I've never really visited I truly enjoy the research. The origins of design, motivating purpose, mechanical specifics, intended use. Yes, it's just a gun but invites one to enjoy the complete experience from the ownership. So much more, plus you get to shoot it!

I found this excellent work online to begin my Luger experience. It is completely free and you need to save it to your files for later or perhaps a friend who may enjoy it. I did the same when I finally dove into the world of Hi-Powers. Enriching knowledge.

I imagine Roman is as excited as you for a Luger.

teaching a poor lesson. lol I mean it's my business and money but sometimes I have to remind folks in a certain gentile manner or pay for my lack of finesse.

What is she going to do, divorce you? make you sleep on the couch? Holy shit, grow up. Hell my wife owns more guns than I do. If you buy a gun tell her she has sort of a gift certificate to spend the same amount of money on her. I just can't believe how many of you guys are scared shitless of your wives. She married you because you were a man, so how about being a man instead of a fuggin mouse afraid of your wife. Holy shit!!!

Good Sermon Gary

It is not good to hide stuff from your wife. My wife and I were a team. We had each other's backs. I always knew if I spent money on a hunting trip she would do some remodel or some thing on the house. She bought me guns.

Work together!

AMEN Jim. That is exactly right. I bet half of the

wives of these guys wouldn't marry them again due to their being pussies. Share and share alike. As far as you spending the money on a new gun it's no big deal. If you have the money and the kids won't go without a meal then what is the problem. It is just money. Like Jim said, it is called working together. Not hiding a new gun and hoping and praying she doesn't find out about it. I couldn't live like that.

I'll pass that onto my son, his raising is paramount to my

that money anyway, but if you try to hide it from your wife, 6 months from now you will still be a pussy.

However, sometimes keeping things between father and son is sometimes best.

HOW DO MEN LIVE LIKE THIS? AND WHEN

I have a friend in my neighborhood. Great guy, give you the shirt off his back kind of guy. Lets me keep my boat on his dock free of charge all year round. Grows tomatoes and squash and cucumbers, keeps me overstocked all season. Can't buy a friggin box of ammo that his wife knows about. He had a shotgun he wanted refinished and wouldn't spend the money to do it proper. I took it home, sanded it down and hit it with a lick of cold blue and brought it back to him. He had to make a BIG deal in front of her that it was a gun from his grand dad that I "cleaned" up for him. I have two rifles in my safe that are his till he can "sneak 'em" into the house without her knowing. He wanted a case of 5.56 for his AR that's in MY safe, had to order it online and now that's sitting in my basement. I hate if for him but he allowed this to happen, they been married 25 years. Hell, if I came home with a 21 year old Japanese house girl my wonderful wife would be fine with that as long as she did dishes! If you can't be honest with your wife you're not being honest with yourself. I'll shut up now before I get in trouble.....

I have guys that are regulars in the shop come in to buy

a certain gun but they bring 2 guns in with them. They say their wives tell them they have to sell 2 guns before they can buy a new gun. I have to walk out and come over to the machine shop before I say something to cause trouble. Like I said before, I couldn't live like that and I don't know how the guys that are afraid of their wives can even look themselves in the mirror.

I have never understood that. My wife never

says anything about what I buy. I make the majority of the money in the house and pay most of the bills. As long as the bills are paid, I can buy/do what I want. She has her own money and contributes, but has her own to spend as she will.

My wife read this and says .... Amen Gary!!
