There are ways. I'm fortunate I have a wife who likes guns and has no problem with me buying them as long as it doesn't put us behind. You can squirrel away money... stash $20 or $30 in it every paycheck, keep it well-hidden, and you'll have it before too long. We recently refinanced our house to consolidate some stuff and get some money for some home improvements we're doing, and there's enough with that that I'm getting my kit and am going to start building very soon.

I've also been tempted to get rid of some of my centerfire stuff to feed this addiction, but haven't done so yet. I will keep most of them as they are sentimental, but I have a couple that I bought myself that I'm losing interest in the further along I get with the muzzleloaders... like my .300 Weatherby Magnum. For what I've put into that rifle (that I've barely shot enough to break in), I could just about add another longrifle to the collection. I initially bought it in the hopes that I could use it for elk some day, but now I'm thinking when that day comes I'd rather take my elk with a .54 flinter!

Good luck! Be honest with your wife, but put your foot down some too. It's not fair for them to expect us to never spend any more money on ourselves once we get hitched, and we should not let them think that way. Ya just have to plan it out differently.

Who knows... maybe if you let her know how bad you want one, she'll surprise you and get one for you! My wife, bless her heart, has known since day one that I've wanted a Harley-Davidson for as long as I can remember, but we just haven't been able to do it yet. She absolutely despises motorcycles due to an accident she had on one when riding with a moron (her ex-husband), yet a couple of years back went to the local Harley dealer to see if she could maybe buy one piece by piece for me, thinking that eventually I would have all of the parts I needed for it and could put it together and have my bike! Thankfully the guys at the dealership talked her out of it... but she still surprised me when she told me of her plan. You just never know with these women-folk!

", but put your foot down some too."

Dad told me the same thing on my wedding night and took his advice.
On our wedding night I figured I'd set things straight. Took my pants off and told the new wife to try them on. She said they don't fit, they're too big. I said that's right, and don't forget it. I wear the pants in this house.
Well she sat down,, thought a bit,, and finally took her's off (Yahoo!). But much to my surprise she threw them at me and said put them on. Looking kind of foolish I said they wont go above my knees and can't get into them. That's when she said "Damned right, and you ain't gonna 'til you change you're attitude!" I was bummed!!!!! eace:

I said put your foot down some, I didn't say stomp yer relationship into a mudhole!

I've been married now fer 12 years... threats about gettin' in pants don't bother me none. Ya have to be gettin' in 'em to begin with fer the threat to work! I'm sayin' use the same tactics she does when she wants somethin'. "When am I gonna get a new couch? When am I gonna get a new dining room suit? When am I gonna get a new car?" Toss it right back with things like, "Well, you've got new carpet, a new microwave, that $300 dress you just had to have, along with countless new pairs of shoes and purses. When am I going to get the new English Fowler I've been talking about for the last 3 years?" In my case, it usually ends up finishing something like this: "Okay, we need the new kitchen table and chairs because the chairs aren't going to last much longer because they're starting to fall apart, let's get the table and chairs, and then you can get your gun, ok?"

Something along those lines... convince her to fit it into the list. It works... it just takes compromise. Marriage is a two-way street... if the only one driving on the street is the wife, and she's using both lanes, well... ya either gotta make her get over, or change roads IMHO! ::

When your buddy's come over with there guns get her to look at them when they leave sya to her man I wish I could get one like that! It may work some times :results: :front:

No prob. Been married to the same (and only) one now for 30 yrs.
Think we came to a compromise somewhere. :winking:

 

[Rebel]

29 years here. i know by now that we have got our compromises figured out. :: Actually, mine tries to convince me to go ahead and buy the guns i say i want, even though i know i don't need them, just want them. Guess i am a fortunate guy. I know i ain't that easy to get along with some times. But she has stood by me all these years. Guess after this long we are pretty much stuck with each other. ::

I, too, am blessed with a better half who supports my muzzleloader obsession. She has always been supportive. The first gun she ever fired was my flintlock fowler and she hit the target. She even goes to gun shows with me and often points out interesting pieces--and she has good taste in guns too.

 

[Rebel]

Don't ya just love it when a plan comes together. :: Actually, it is really nice to have a wife that doesn't care what you buy, and even though mine isn't interested in shooting anymore, the only gun she handles is her carry gun, she has never complained if i want a gun or anything else for that matter. Couldn't ask for a better wife.
