Looks like I might have to hold off a little while, surprisingly my wife is acting a little pissy about it. I'm hoping it's a short lived phase, she's always as enthusiastic about getting new guns as I am. Suddenly she has the attitude that we have enough toys.
The thing is, we won a raffle a few months ago, a Tommy Gun. As cool as it is, we've been trying to decide whether or not to sell it to buy an AR10, which IMO would be much more useful. While very cool, the Tommy gun is more of a novelty.
My boss really wanted to buy it, and WE finally decided to go ahead and sell it to him. I come home with the cash, hand it to her and ask if she wants to deposit it and use the credit card to buy the AR10. I said I just got an email from Grabagun (we've bought several guns through them) and they had the M&P10 on sale for $1349, it's the one I had been wanting. I had seen the Nutnfancy video posted above, along with other reviews, and I was going to get opinions here, check some more reviews, and buy it. Out of nowhere she says "we can use it to pay bills".
I'm sure I looked shocked, because I was. I tossed her the money and as I walked away she said "here, go ahead and buy it, we'll pay the bills" and tried to give me the money. I said no, if we need it to pay bills, keep it. (I wouldn't have sold the Tommy if I wasn't getting an AR10 for it, unless we really did need it bad to pay bills, which we didn't) A little later she brought the money in and laid it on my desk. I put it away and we haven't talked about it since.
Now we just had to have surgery on our dog, and sadly she didn't come through it and we had to have her put down. It still cost us almost $6000. That's a lot of money to us, but we can definitely cover it, we have money in savings. I'm thinking I'll just wait it out a little while, and maybe closer to the election I'll mention that if Hillary gets elected we might not be able to buy one. Hopefully she'll be more receptive. She told me to go ahead and buy it, but it was obvious she didn't want me to, you know how that is. I'm not going to do it if she really doesn't want me to. We really do have enough toys, if you can ever have enough. We'll see I guess, sorry for the rant and thanks for the opinions.
