How Do You Refrain From Buying Firearms? - Page 8

Mrmonte · 07-05-2009

I dont even try to refrain from buying. The job of the spousal unit is to keep my purchases in check. I am usually able to wear her down to aquire one or two new guns a year. Anything above that requires trade or sale of a current possession + minimal cash distribution. The great thing about the AR platform is I can buy it a piece at a time, usually under the radar of my wife. That being said, when cash is low, my will power is much stronger not to buy. Happy wife and home always come first.

I can go to gun shops and look at my friends collections but the real thing that keeps me from buying is that my has hinted at the idea that the the next time i bring something home.... I just might get shot with it.... But she does want a .44 Magnum, so if I got it for her she might be happy, or at least it would be quick.

You could always get a different job, one that pays less. Then you wouldn't have extra money to buy guns. But where is the fun in that.

Losing my job of 5 1/2 years does the job of curbing purchases very well. I would not recommend trying this yourself.

I dont like to refrain from buying because when i purchase a new toy, i usually give my wife and kids some money to shut them up, is that wrong?
