the first question that should be asked of one's self before going down this road is, "am i willing to put in the time to learn how to use it safely and effectively?". the second question is, "would i actually be willing to use it?".

it is easier to ask for forgiveness than to ask for permission.

Good information, Talyn. Thanks for the link!

Of course she will, if not, why are you married to her? My wife's responses are usually like: "Don't use your money, let the house pay for it.", "Is that what you want?", "Oh, that feels nice.".
Nice article for beginners, need another one for what to do after you have options already.

My wife and I have an understanding. She don’t tell me how to spend my money and I don’t tell her how to spend my money. 🙄🤣

 

[The Night Rider]

I'm more intelligent than my wife but I have absolutely no problem admitting that she has more common sense than I do.

If she told me to do something or not to do something I would listen to her. very carefully.

Is she flat out told me that something was a bad idea I wouldn't do it.

But, you've told me she gives you the "look" w/o telling you how to spend your money.

Well she is in charge of the budget. Someone has to make sure my other bills get paid.

I assure you I've never asked myself seven questions before I bought any firearm. Could be why my safe is full.

Oh Talyn, they all know how to 'give that look'! It's then up to us how well we want to sleep for the next few weeks.

Plus, if you miss “the look” her tone in her voice will also relay her message…..ask me how I know this….🤔🙁

Ok, how do you know that?
Just kidding.

My lady never questioned my firearm purchases but she made it clear she wasn’t happy with my purchase of my new truck and my search for a new camper, I simply told her it’s my money I spent and my F250 will become yours eventually, she quickly changed her tune.
