The easy way to get a new gun???

My wife wants a new Chevy Tahoe. I say we can't afford it. She says that she has always wanted a Tahoe and she deserves it after 16 years putting up with me. I say we can't afford it and by the way there are a couple of guns that I have always wanted also. I then say even though we can't afford it let's go look at the new trucks. Well to make a long story short we have just about finished the deal with the car dealer and I worked a new Beretta over/under and a Springfield Armory 45 match into the deal. Thought some of you might be able to use this one but it only will work for you about every four years.Jim

    A friend of mine used that ploy for years. Expecpt that his carrot was a new set of dishes.Much cheaper than a new SUV. She couldn't explain the need for a new set of dishes, and so he didn't have to explain the new gun. Perfect.

    To my wife guns are like cars, you should only need one. Now what I like to do to trick her is to take her to the range with me and a couple of "special" rounds for whatever I'm shooting. The "special" rounds are low level blanks that make no noise except for a pop, strategicaly load a couple in the gun and make like somethings wrong. Also purposely aim off target and MISS. I then tell her the gun is no good and I need a new one. She tells me to trade the "bad" one for the new one, I then explain to her I just can't give a dealer a screwing like that by giving him a bad gun. You would be surprised how many "broke" guns I have in the cabinet!

    Today is the day for moms new SUV. I spent an hour at Turners last night just trying to decide on which models are best. It sure is fun to talk in plurals when shopping for new guns. God what a country!Jim
