Convincing your girlfriend or wife?

[huntandjeep]

ive never have to lie to my wife for a new gun.I just tell her i need this one or want that one.

Just use the "dress in the closet" approach.

"Oh....that OLD gun? I've had that one forever!

I bought my wife a Beretta O/U 12ga for her Birthday or Christmas or our Anniversary.........I can't remember which one now.  I have shot it more than she has.  Now I'm thinking of getting "her" a new 7mm-08 or .308 because I she needs a lighter weight rifle.

Don't take this the wrong way, but if you have to "fib", make up a "tale", fabricate or convince (Lie) to her then you need to reevaluate your relationship son, grow a pair and buy what you want, when you want and why you want, so long as the money spent is not being diverted from the everyday things all families/couples need.
If you start lying that will just come out bad in the end.
Tell the truth, you will have less to remember....

Could not have said it any better!!!!

Only thing I woory about when looking for a new bow, gun or reel is how much it is going to cost me. Because without a doubt in my mind I will be buying two of them.

Find someone that is compatible with what you do and never take away from the daily expenses.  That gun is a want not a need.

It's easier to beg for forgiveness then ask permission...

I told her the truth about the swarovskis though and she did not judge me on my decision but i don't think she was as impressed as i was/am

[phishisgroovin]

i dont lie to my wife for any reason about my firearms (or anything else for that matter), if i want one i just get one when i can.
If she hates it i tell her not to look at it.

For our first married Christmas, 10 months ago, I decided to invest some of my hunting fund into our relationship and bought my wife a Diamond Razor's Edge Bow with winner's choice string, her own bow case, every thing pink, fletching and all, etc. I told her that I was trying to find ways to spend more time with her and include her in what I love to do. ...after all I didn't want her to be a "hunter's widow" like some of her other friends complain about being.

Well, due to this new development, I HAD to buy a nice blind for us to hunt out of together . When she's gotten used to the whole thing, I'll have to buy a couple of tree stands we can use "together". Oh, and suddenly she can see how having a couple of trail cameras could be really handy. I just had to show her the joy of the sport. I am very proud of my wife, this spring she completed hunter's safety and this fall has been out hunting with me for the first time, well with her own tag.

On our anniversary, she surprised me with an S&W .38 Special that had only been shot around 6 times. She was debating between that and another .44magnum, but considered that having a .38 might be good for her to have "for defense purposes." (Now who's turned the table?)

Now she's decided that the gun for anniversary gift should be an annual tradition and I couldn't agree more. I mean how could I lose, it started with buying her a "diamond"
