The real threat to our 2nd amendment rights!

[mox 298]

Me: Honey, I need to pick up some ammo for next weekend. You need anything while I'm out?

Wife: No! You can buy it after Christmas, not before.

Me: But honey, I--

Wife: NO!

Merry Christmas RUB!

I agree, but why would you have such a conversation?

Begin with..."Do you need anything while I am out?" and let it go at that. Though I have a few guns which cost me more than retail, so to speak, because AFTER I bought them I needed to buy some other trinket for the wife.

Me: How do like my new shotgun, sweetheart

Her: Hmmm. Nice. How do you like my new dishwasher?

Me: You got a new dishwasher?

Her: Not yet, are you ready to go?

The second amendment is alive and well, but can be very expensive, in this house.

A few other tips for you, Mox, as I know you are new to this, relatively speaking.

1. Always have enough ammunition that you never need to buy any for any particular reason. It should be measured in "tons" rather than "thousands of rounds" When you have several tons of ammunition stock laid in you can simply add as needed. You will know when you have enough because when you move you will need a separate truck to carry your ammunition and components and loading equipment. If it can fit in a 26 foot U-Haul with your other, not so important, stuff and not break the springs...you need more

2. Always have enough guns that no one notices a new one, not even YOU. Depending on your wife's skills of spotting new things, this may take anywhere from 10-40 or more. It also means you need more than one of each "type". For example, if you have all autoloading pistols, it is pretty obvious if a revolver shows up. So you need a few of each. Size matters also. If you have several small pistols and suddenly a big one shows up...you get the picture. Rifle actions are no different, you need several of each type to pull off the ruse. And shotguns, of which I need a minimum of 6 just to keep house. (4 for skeet, one for grouse and one for ducks/geese/turkeys. I don't hunt anymore...but still, just in case)

3. Never leave the house with ONE gun. You need to take several each time you go in and out. Like the old story "How to fool crows". You know, where 6 hunters go into a blind, 4 leave, 3 come back, 2 leave, etc. until only one is left. Think of it as a "shell game". Leave the house with one gun and come back with TWO and you are busted. Leave the house with 6 guns and come back with 4 (leaving THREE in the trunk), then next time leave with 3 guns and come back with 4, etc. It is also best to leave guns around in different places...the trunk, the shed, behind the kitchen door, in the towel drawer in the kitchen, etc. They never can tell where a gun will "pop up", that way they never know which is new, old, etc. Try never to leave the house without taking guns with you, it needs to be thought of as "routine". "Oh, yeah...Mox always takes guns with him when he leaves" That kind of thing. It has to become second nature. Until you have enough guns to pull this off you can use broomsticks painted black and mix them in with other guns, walk fast on the way to the door or have enough gun cases to cover all of them so no one can tell which is a gun and which is a broomstick.

4. Not that you can do anything about this, but it is best if your father and grandfather were also "shootists" and left you several guns each after they passed away, then any one of your guns can be one "I inherited from my Dad".

5. Have several guns for concealed carry, this not only allows you to choose a gun to fit your wardrobe but causes further confusion. You need them for different occasions also. For example, for weddings and other formal occasions I use a S&W M19 with 2-1/2" barrel, round butt and small ivory grips with my initials entwined in black and some tasteful, not overdone, engraving. Think of GS Patton's M27 but a smaller version. I know you may like to have more ammo on tap than a 6 shot .357 magnum, but so far it has been more than adequate for every wedding I have attended. I usually do not even carry extra ammo for it. You need a summer clothes gun, winter clothes gun, etc. Do not forget extras for the "gun box" in the car...each car.

Basically, make it an everyday thing and they forget all about what you are buying or when and how. I offer these suggestions for the benefit of your family and domestic traquility and to save you money in the long run by not having to buy so many dishwashers, sofas, refrigerators and such.

Wife: No! You can buy it after Christmas, not before.

Me: But honey, I--

Wife: NO!

My wife is now to the point where she knows whenever money suddenly disappears or I use more than normal, "It's for your paranoia again, blat!"

Me: How do like my new shotgun, sweetheart

Her: Hmmm. Nice. How do you like my new dishwasher?

Me: You got a new dishwasher?

Her: Not yet, are you ready to go?

Sounds like a woman that's got it all figured out!

A few other tips for you,

Some great advice in there, Gary.

Anybody get ammo for Christmas this year?

We got a little cash and when I said, "hey, that's for ammo" my wife was less than impressed. It already went to paying down our other debts. Now, if we could just manage to turn these gift cards into ammo...

Didn't really need any ammo for Christmas this year. My stockpile is good. Alla and I were looking over the stacks and her only comment was "like a supermarket".

Read where the CMP has laid in another large supply of 30-06 from Greece and it should be available later next year.itPrice will be higher and they will impose annual limits.

[mox 298]

No ammo, but my cousin said she'll buy the $50 Red Lobster gift card we got. (I effing *hate* Red Lobster, whose idea of seafood cuisine is typically "boil or overcook the ####### out of it, then slather in butter so the customer can't taste how rubbery it is." So I think at least part of that card is going to ammo.

Awesome!

Aren't the S. Koreans opening up a whole bunch next year too or was that just carbine?

If you haven't been for a while you may want to give them another try. They've changed up their menu a little bit and added more emphasis on "wood fired" instead of "butter-infused."

My brother got my dad some ammo for his new .40 Glock.

I got him a new holster for it.

He's a very happy man now.

Naw, the Korean stuff is dried up or only ####### going to importers like Blue Sky or Century. Only Greek and Italian stuff remains except for a nice bunch of Bavarian Carbines just obtained last summer (from when the West rearmed the German Police following WWII).

And I agree with the newer Red Lobster. I've been there within the last couple of years and they do have some very nice dishes offerred.

Interesting...thanks, we might just give it another shot!
