Help me justify a AR-15 to my wife

[Rollo]

My wife doesnt mind me buying guns. The one stipulation however is I have to be able to justify the purchase and I can only own one of each. A few examples

Glock 19 - Its my primary carry
Ruger LCP - Its my pocket gun when I cant dress for the Glock
Colt 1911 - Everyone has to own a 1911
Ruger SP101 (havent purchased yet but) I dont own a revolver

I've always wanted to AR-15 for the simple fact that they are like barbie for for men. There are just SOOOO many different configurations. Unfortuanetly that isnt a valid reason as far as the wife is concerned. How can I justify a AR-15 purchase?

Tell her to shut up, get you a beer and turn on ESPN.

If you are still alive in the morning then go buy the gun, and bring your wife some roses.

I was hoping for something that would leave my testicles in tact but thanks for the advice

Doesn't sound like you have control of those, anyway {snicker}

Does she keep your spine in her closet?

I have never spent money on a firearm, but I have invested in quite a few.

They each are worth at least as much, or more than I paid for them.

Would she object if you put $1000 into a savings account or purchase $1000 in precious metals? Why would she object if you purchase a $1000 AR that is worth $1000 a year from now.

Good luck, sorry if I am not too understanding. This controlling attitude of women drives me nuts. Especially when they don't know what they are talking about.

I'll be quiet now....

We have an agreement. Any purchase over 100.00 needs to be "authorized" by the other. Trust me, this works in my favor as well...

1 word. Layaway. If you put $99 a week on an AR, you're golden.

Tell her that when the country falls into civil unrest/war due to the presidents (and congresses) communist plots, that the .556 round will be the easiest to scavenge from the bodies of UN troops littering the countryside, from other countries that are on our soil trying to put down the patriots...I mean terrorists.

This is exactly what I was gonna say it keepsit under your amount and would only take maybe 12 weeks to do it. Then you will feel like you have a surplus of cash when you have that xtra 99 around every week

So get in on the AR lower group buy ASAP! You can buy a lower for $106! No approval needed. Then you tell her you have this lower you REALLY need to finish and get "approval" to buy a kit in the config you want! Problem solved!
