I have 1 gun.
You are right about that one. My money has damn near doubled in my collection over the past couple of years. I have told her that if something should happen to me just don't give them away but sell them and what friends to use to sell them. I told her don't give them to my brothers. She'll never see the money. What a a shame.+1
More than the OP and I'll leave it at that.
Here's how you explain it to the wife. Just tell her that if you had $10,000 worth of guns 10 years ago, they would now be worth $15,000. But, if you had $10,000 in a 401k 10 years ago, it's now worth $5,000. Guns are the better investment, hands down. Instead of paying acount managment fees to an investment broker, you pay ammo fees to you local sporting goods store.
Thanks,When your collection reaches four digits, you might get a visit. I personally only own 18 firearms, but I'll probably hit 20+ by this time next year.

OK,
That's funny! I was trying to figure that one out. I was thinking house boat on one of the rivers around hear. He had me going.
If my neighbors... saw it, it would be a fully stocked arsenal.
Not enough because there is still room in the safe.
Well, I understand what you are saying. It makes sense. I wasn't trying to be too intrusive.i got caught by that too...when i first came to the forum! um yeah i dont know about posting my numbers of what and how many i have or dont have not pointing fingers but especially from someone with a low post count...just saying
My Wife asked me a question once, so I beat her good for talking without asking me first.
This is a loaded question.
What are hers and what are mine?
I'm sure your wife has too many of something you could complain about.
My wife used to say " I know when he's been at the gun range because he stinks up the house cleaning guns after wards, at least he's not out drinking"
Well, I understand what you are saying. It makes sense. I wasn't trying to be too intrusive.
I tried to do a search and really couldn't figure out what is to much. It really doesn't matter. I'll probably double the number in the coming years. My wife will just have to cope and deal. I like the quote of MARKP "LOL, My wife said, "Well as long as you've got fewer guns than the number of women you've had, we're good." Does she want me to go out and sleep with more women???"
Mark, this is funny!!
