Hey... Marriages End. 1911's are forever.
Very true, yet for some odd reason, people still do it :roll:

Best then to tell the next wife that the name on your arm is the name of your gun "Alice"..... so as to avoid that argument :banghead:

This happened on Friday when my neighbors and I were playing show and tell with our firearms after one of my neighbors bought himself a PT1911. One of my other neighborns couldn't get the mag to drop on his handgun and the neighbor that bought the 1911 pointed to me and said "Give it to him." :lol:

How many guns are in your "secret" stash?
Close... I was given permission to get an AR for Father's Day. I bought it in APRIL! Kept in in the back of the safe until Father's Day. ;)

I think celebrating your anniversary at a "Fun Shoot" qualifies, and so do my kids! :mrgreen:

Oh no! That fits me to a "T." In fact, I'm on a forum right now. It's an early morning ritual. I check at least 3 different forums each morning for my daily "current events" update.

If when you misspell "going shopping" and you phone auto-corrects to "going shooting". I guess I shoot more that I shop.

When you're the wife, and you have more firearms than shoes and purses combined...

When you're on a first-name basis with the shop owners and employees of every decent gun shop within a hundred miles, as well as with the regular vendors (even the ones from out of state) at the gun shows... and when your son goes without you they always ask him if you're OK. (when I go alone, they always ask about him, too)

When anyone else in the family gets a new firearm, you're always the one they call first to talk about it.

When you're cleaning house, and your spouse asks, "Honey, what should I do with this stack of old magazines?" your first response is "Set them by the safe so I can put them away."

All guns have at least two safeties. One's digital, one's cognitive. In other words - keep the digit off the trigger until ready to fire, and THINK. Some guns also have mechanical safeties on top of those. But if the first two don't work, the mechanical ones aren't guaranteed. - me

You mean it's possible to own more purses and shoes than guns? Huh. Who would want that?

LOL.... my daughter, for one. She is a nut case when it comes to shoes. I truly believe she only has her CHL so she can protect her shoes! :biggrinjester:

Today, I started a new "thing" that shows my nuttiness.

I now round all my check at restaurants or whatever to common calibers.

Lunch was $30.30. I got ice cream and rounded my tip to $3.57.
Lastly, tonight, dinner was $25.10 before tip, so I made it $30.06. That one hurt a little because of its double meaning. The caliber is great, but the sign... ugh. :banghead:

Anyway, I'm going to do this from now on. haha As long as I don't have to round too far to get to a caliber. :txflag:
