A Coach purse will last a decade if the owner wants it to. OTOH, we can't do enough for our wives. God only knows what they put up with.

I'm starting to get bored with just shooting at an X on a silhouette myself. But they've got some CRAZY targets out there...playing cards, a dart board, zombies, etc.

That's a great idea! I'll have to look into those. Thanks!

She has 6 coaches and 1 dooney, with matching wallets for 2 of them .

BUT, with the new CHL I can always say that I'll use it by carrying it with us... hummm... the "Use" of the gun was always the sticking point.

I get mean looks when I try because I strech them out. They don't fit anyway...

I think I'm making her out in a bad light, and I don't mean to. She's very supportive I just have to provide a good reason for needing another one, or let her buy something expensive and use it against her in the future

Can you get your spouse or significant other interested in shooting? That will solve the problem.

If not, this is a Dear Abby type of question. How much of your income do you get to spend on yourself; and how much control does the other partner want to exert, and why?

Believe me, I've tried to get her into shooting, she grew up with a mother that HATES firearms (I guess they're just going to jump up and shoot someone) She's a good shot, and she can outshoot most with my Glock 22, she just doesn't get enjoyment out of shooting paper, or targets for that matter.

Wait, you can have income to spend on yourself?! We don't have a set #, but we talk about it. The problem is that Guns cost more up front than let's say your 900'th blouse, it's all a matter of wearing her down.

I never thought of "investment" gotta try that one! I have found it easier to get holsters and the like, because I can just call them "clothes" and she can't argue.

At what # of firearms did it become "Too many" with your spouse/significant other? For mine it was 2, but I still have 7, and I think I'm running out of excuses to buy new ones and the "Zombie attack" reason has never worked
