Serious question...

[Cosmo 9]

I agree with Jim. It goes like this "Here's the key to your new Lexus and let me show you what came with it"

[seamusTX]

Sheesh, if I had to buy a Lexus, I wouldn't own a BB gun.

Work chits are good. You can do the laundry and dishes for a month.

Technically, no. But, after a certain point you will definitely have had enough of the wife-unit complaining about them.

You young guys have a lot to learn.

Your budget for a purchase at the toy store has to include a diversionary piece of jewelry or whatever your honey values most.

Like in the 60's when Dad gave Mom diamond's and a new outboard motor.

Ahhh, the calming voice of experience...

Bill, I say "no" you can never have "too many" guns. Instead of a gun safe, clean out that closet under your stairs and covert it into a climate controlled gun "room".

[anygunanywhere]

Too many guns? Perish the thought.

The safe can go anywhere. If you don't keep it in the house, be certain to bolt it down to the floor. Protect them from the humidity.

Mrs. Anygun swears that mine are multiplying in the safe when the door is closed.

She knows enough about them to notice an increase in number but she knows too little to notice which ones are new to the fold.

I made it a point long ago to not question at all any purchase she made, whether it be remodeling the kitchen, landscaping the fron yard for the second time, whatever.

The 3.75 carat diamond in the white gold 1.75 carat triple diamond white gold setting after 30 years of wedded bliss helped a lot.

Can a man have too many guns?

Marshal, a man can absolutely, positively have too many guns. The condition can, as your wife suspects, lead to serious emotional and mental repercussions.

But there is help available.

I happen to be president of Adopt a Firearm (AAF), a 501(3)(c) nonprofit organization. For absolutely no cost to you, we can take those excess guns off your hands, provide them a well-cared-for, climate-controlled environment, and even arrange to send you pictures at Christmastime every year.

Just let me know. I'm standing by to help.

I have the smae type of charitable organization. It too is, at absolutely no cost to you the current owner, will be more than willing to take any and all guns, big or small, off your hands. These guns will be more than taken care of and will at no time be neglected, shamed, or abused, although they will be shot quite a bit guaranteed.

[The Marshal]

Gentlemen, (and Gentleladies! How thoughtless of me to use "a man" when truly "a person" is more encompassing of our audience! Please forgive the oversight.)

In reality, it was a rhetorical question! I asked that, because I expected to see reflected in y'all my own thoughts. One gun is simply....a good start.

I already employ said tactic, yet in her mind there IS such a thing as too many guns.

She thinks currently that my 1 pistol and 1 rifle are already enough of an inconvenience. Can't wait 'til she sees the growth in my collection over the next 12-18 months(plans include an O/U, AR, a Sig, and a home defense shotgun).

In my defense, I am buying her a house this summer, if all goes well.

too bad you ain't a cop, you'd get a free Glock!!
