Hey, it works well on the Mrs.
“Honey, there is a storm coming. I need to go down to the gun shop and get some more ammo.”
“Fine, but don’t you go seeing any orphan gun in the rack and bring it home claiming we can give it a good home. We got enough stray calibers to stock up on as it is now.””
Depends on how much ammo you already have, and how wise the wife is ...
Wife, "Another one?!"
Me, "Just doing my part to keep guns off the street."
