Why did none of you save me from this foolishness?

[Jeff K.]

That is until the guns go on the garage sale! You know you have been telling her that old gun didn't cost much.

Here at our house we solved this problem by not having a full time live-in house women. The only drawback to this scheme is that Danny usually open,s the gun box's first and promptly assembles the gun. What follow's after that is usually "Hey Dad that new Parker fit's me pretty good" and I say"Great.... that's just great" I lose more good gun's that way.....

Don, Best wish's to your wife for a speedy recovery.

When the 401s and the 457s went down the tubes, the shotguns went down a bit slower, at least the Parkers did. I have never gone to a "stock site" on the internet or a "stock show" on a Saturday afternoon and bought common stock for sixty cents on the dollar.

[C.O.B.]

The only time I've had a conversation with my wife over buying a gun was when I wanted (and purchased) a high condition DHE 20 with all the options, SST, VR, BTF straight stock. I needed her consent because she needed to sigh the home equity loan for the purchase

The second safe was explained, one is for rifles the other for shotguns they don't mix well

[Don Kaas]

I guess you don't have an eTrade account then, Bill...

[Bill Murphy]

Sixty cents on the dollar on e-trade??

[Don Kaas]

In 35 years, I have only had one wife but I have had quite a few bird dogs...and Parkers...but thanks for the advice...

My wife questioned me about a Parker I had bought and I told her it was functional art.
Now she questions me with " How many Parkers do WE own"? For a woman who doesnt hunt or shoot, she sure knows a Parker when she sees one. JVB

This is the way it goes for me! Can I afford it?Do I really need it? Should I tell my wife about it? The answer to the third question is yes when it comes to Parkers! Yet! there is hidden in my man cave a certain Gibson "Les Paul" that I can not bring myself to tell her that I purchased. I have been pondering over this for several months, I really want to play the thing. but then I will be found out. Do you think I should tell her I bought it? I have to I guess.

She has to know.... otherwise, she'll take your guns to a pawn shop when you expire (PC word for "croak")
