We had "carry" in common

[indianajoe]

"Why do you need another pistol?" she said.

I walked her back to her closet and flipped on the light. The shelves were lined with handbags and purses in varieties of sizes, colors, and brands.

"You sure have a lot of purses in here," I said. "Why so many?"

"Well, depending on where we're going or what I'm wearing, I might need to carry a different one. Little purse for when we go out on the town, big purse for a Saturday out with the kids."

I hoisted a thumb toward the dozen or so handbags, neatly stowed in their linen covers. "But you can only carry one at a time, right?" I said.

"Yes, just one at a time" she said.

I pulled the Ruger catalog from my back pocket, opened it, and pointed to the page. "This LCP is lightweight and very concealable. It doesn't print like the Sig."

"Yeah, okay, I get it," she said.

Good for you, I guess I am lucky my wife has never said anything about me buying guns.

 

[chachi73]

Excellent counter argument! I will use it for my next purchase....xdm 9????? Just got a judge last week, so i'll have to hold off for a little while

 

[RachelMarie]

I'll do that too...>Except point towards my husbands hats or shoes.....Good tip!


And Good one!

 

[JetGirl]

husbands hats

Oh, good lord! What is it with the hats?!!
I feel yer pain.

 

[VERT]

This argument will not work for me. My wife only has one purse.

 

[Indecision]

The hats I wear are cheap. You can buy like 22 hats for 1 of the cheapests firearms you could buy. like an LCP.

And good argument, but I would never let it go farther than "It's my money, I'll spend it how I please."

 

[tenring]

Why do you have so many guns, you can only use one at a time?

How many shoes do you have, you can only wear one pair at a time?

Years ago, haven't had the conversation since!

 

[drgnrobo]

Most significant others hate it when you make a point that you can use to relate with firearms

Good one!

 

[MACHINEGUN]

I say the same thing about her shoes, purses.. clothes.. and the discussion dies for some odd reason.

Hmmm.. I wonder why?

 

[csm47362]

I don't have that problem. My problem is My wife has ended up liking several of my guns and then somehow they become hers and I have to be me a new one!!!

THAT's not a bad problem to have.

 

[mbaza3]

I told my wife you need a gun for each finger

 

[AuntieBellum]

I know this is old news now...it's a clever argument! I can only hope that my husband hasn't seen this thread - especially since I have 20+ purses!

 

[JetGirl]

20??! Plus?? Holy moly.
You sure come with a lot of baggage!! LOL

 

[AuntieBellum]

Yeah, "+"! If I don't name an actual number, I don't have to admit to my husband when I bring another one home. I'm always a sucker for a new Vera Bradley or Coach!

 

[indianajoe]

Annie... Back in my dating days, the rule was "your baggage must fit in the overhead compartment or under the seat in front of you."

Ha! No steamer trunk types for you, huh?

Oh, don't get me wrong... There were a few that could have had Mayflower on retainer. It was for those choice few that I perfected the "LOOK! a SQUIRREL!!!" technique (as I bolted for daylight).
