Hey logos...the way to get around that is, when you buy a new gun, hide it in the back of the safe for a couple of months. When she finally notices it..."Oh, I've had that old thing for a while." My wife gets a puzzled look on her face when that happens, but she hasn't thrown my butt out of the house yet!

A couple of months my a**! I store them waaaay out of sight for at least 6 months.

Why do I get the feeling that a bunch of us use this tactic?

I use the opposite tactic occasionally. One evening I walked in with a M2 receiver and flopped it down on the floor. To the outraged "What the hell is that?"

I replied, "Half a gun - I have to go back and get the barrel out of the car"

The basic question that came next was "What do you need one of those for?"

Answer was "I dont need it. I wanted it, I could afford it, so I bought it." I keep threatening to get a medium caliber weapon (Unfortunately, that's not feasible since '68, but she doesn't know that), so when I get anything smaller, there aren't too many objections
