Convincing your wife to let you get an AR15

[M1garand]

David Hineline,

You are now my new best friend

Nice toys you got there. Unfortunately, my state isn't a class III state.

I can only look and drool for the time being.

[David Hineline]

My wife


My daughter



My Me and friends.


Some men have guns, Some men have matching furniture.

I think she spots your weakness, it's like training a puppy, positive/negative reinforcement. Buy the gun, is she complains then buy two more, complains again, buy 4. She will learn not to complain.

If she complains, and you fight and you let her win, then just like Pavlov's dog and the cookie, she got what she wanted.

You have to turn her complaining into something that does not result in what she wants.

Or you could keep going the way you have been, which is most likely going to happen.

I take you're single?

Bahahaha...no kidding.

I don't treat my wife like a dog, a 4-year old, or as someone to be taught a lesson.

And my wife would probably fall into the, "you better get me one, too" group of totally awesome women out there who enjoy shooting.

Buying guns falls squarely under "Ask for Forgiveness" not "Ask for Permission". Buy it and be done with it.

[Crimy]

Make a deal with her. No more new clothes until you can buy a rifle.

Or you can do the age old tradition of getting on your knees and begging.

Two Words... "Zombie Apocalypse".. Then show her all of those Zombie movies.. She'll let you buy one.

[MargeGunderson]

OMG! It looks just like mine.. except no sparkles...

Do you get double the usual female discount if you off someone with a pink gun?

I take you're single?

Come on, your original version was hilarious; why'd you water it down?

[westside popo]

Boy we're a bunch of help aren't we?

I've seen the pink ones before and think about Commando Barbie or Warrior Princes.

I seen a link on here before about guys writing off their off duty or back up guns on their taxes. Never looked into it myself or if it's even allowed?

Two words.....

ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE....

If that doesn't seal it.

I wish I could give you a great argument, the last time I wanted one my wife snuck behind my back and bought it for me for my birthday...

^^^^^^ This.

Show her a few episodes of The Walking Dead.

You are a police officer. It's a tool of the trade. If you were a concert pianist, would she complain if you bought a grand piano? If you were carpenter, would she complain if you bought a table saw?

Tell he your department is considering starting a pilot program for officers to have the AR15 on duty, but only if they purchase it and you want to be part of the program. After you buy it, the program plan feel through. oops.

Guns > Women

Nuff said

I'm with Elle p after thinking it over some more. Go with a pink one, explain not only will it protect your family, can be used at work , but that no one is going to still a pink gun. Also pink guns are not as evil as black rifles.
