My wife thinks I'm Rambo and likes it.

Yeah, I've had her fooled for 30+ years...

 

My wife has gone from reluctantly tolerating me to being a prepper extraordinaire.

 

Well, I was in ''my room'' at the house whilst listening to the football game on my wireless headphones . I have a fireproof safe dedicated to ammo only and I was stashing some rounds I received yesterday.

About that time the love of my life walks in behind me ( with me hearing only NFL announcers) and I do not realize she is there.

Next thing I hear ( louder than the game ) is - ''OH MY GOD ! '' The safe is wide open, and she is looking straight in. Yea, I have a stash, lol .

My wife now thinks I am Rambo, and she HATED that movie. :8::7:

lol my ole lady was the same way the first time she saw my stash.

 

I am damned lucky...I had several of my pistols in a case getting ready for a range trip...the wife peeked in the safe and said, "Looks kinda empty, you're not selling them all are you?"

 

At this point, you can figure you have almost half of what you need.

1/2 of what you think you need is 1/4 of what you really need - no matter how much you have. :001_smile:

Ditto here. Mine now plays by the rules:

No trips to Walmart unless you leave with some caliber ammo,
No trips to the grocery store without buy one get one canned food with the free one for the stash

 

I have 12 ammo cans lined up against a wall that are nearly all full of various calibers. I guess I'd be considered a terrorist under the new NDAA rules

 

pics of safe??? ill show you mine if you show yours
or is this a bad idea?:001_unsure: hehe just kidding

 

Mine asked me the other day "are all those ammo cans full of ammo" "nope"... they are almost full and one has "junk" in it LOL but I didn't tell her that

 

Tell her Rambo had to improvise... You're prepared. :25:

Or just tell her how much ammo prices went up in the last few years and that you don't want to have to buy any during any election year... mine bought that.

 

My wife just f'n BARELY tolerates anything recoil related....
The ONLY thing that levels the playing field is when a large target order comes in and she gets a little extra stashin' cash....
I usually get gift certs or guns for b'day, etc., so it could be worse...
She hasn't got a CLUE that there are thousands of rounds of ammunition in the house and shop...and backyard...and mom's house...and at the secret river compound...or the underground bunker...

BWAHAHAHA!!!! LOL

 

Wes, we wouldn't want you to be in the doghouse, so just let me know when and I'll drive all the way to Greensboro and let you load all except one box of ammo in my truck and I'll bring it back here and take good care of it for you. You can just tell her you were storing it for me and it won't be back....:thumbup1:

 

My wife would freak out if she saw my true stash. He goes nuts when she sees more than two rifles asking how can you afford that. She dosnt know i had multiple rifles before we got married. She only knew about one.

 

Guns are cheap compared to wives... just sayin'

 

My wife was apprehensive at first but over the years she has really warmed up to the idea of stockpiling. She even wants me to take her shooting now.

 

Guns are cheap compared to wives... just sayin'

Or girlfriends... lol

 

The ex-wife never said much about it....gf now thinks its neat


My old boss looked at me funny a few yrs ago when an Overnite truck delivered a pallet to me.....14k rounds of 762x51 milsurp

 

I am not looking at ER funny and note "Old Boss". Just saying....

 

Lol.....it was a company I helped start in 2000.. I left in 07 due to a dispute over stock I was owed. They were cool with guns n stuff, that's why I had it shipped there. It was also in the days of $150/case RG. and Port, and $80/1000 mixed from southernammo.com!

I think I've still got a few thousand left lol

 

My wife usually tells me when we're low on 9mm or .380 (what she likes to shoot) and tells me to go buy/reload/aquire some more. lol

 

My usual reply is 'Okay, then let's talk shoes or purses, you're choice'.

Usually ends right there.

 

haha, your story reminds me of my conversation with my dad over the weekend. He knew my fiancee was up in VA near their house so he said, "Why don't you send her to stop by and grab your .22, your .410, my AR, and your mom's 1100." I replied with, "Um...no way would she consent to doing that"
I can picture her face now while my dad loads up her tiny VW beetle with four rifles and a bunch of ammo. :36:

 

I just wonder if any of these wives that don't like weapons in the house ever watch the news? Or read the crime report in the news paper?
I came home yesterday and the wife said to me, Go get your new gun mag. There is a weapon in there I like. She was looking at the Ruger LCR. She has never been anti-gun. But in the last year I have noticed that she is going to the range with me at least once a month. Life is good.

Yes they do, they pay more attention to the stories about kids playing with firearms which is in the news every other month compared to BG preying on the unarmed which is in the news everyday. Atleast that is what mine does.
