Well, I didn't take a child to the range, nor did I expend any ammo. I didn't clean any firearms, nor even pull them out of the safe.

I did, however, open up the safe, remove a lot of my "rainy day" funds, and went to this nice little place called the "Shane Company".

Long story short, I dropped a bunch of $$$$ on a ring, several grand worth.


















She said YES!!!!!!!!!

Hope you have all the iron in that "Safe" you'll be needing for a few years.

JUST KIDDING...

GOOD luck

Congrats Dave!

I did the same last Christmas.
It's amazing what that ring will do.. for me, it's been the opposite...(in her words, not mine) - "I don't care, buy whatever.. I have my ring"
Oh, the kitchen is a mess?? "I don't care....look how sparkly my ring is!!"

Aside from other things, I knew mine was the one when she stepped over the 1919 set up on the living floor going to the kitchen, and didn't bat an eye.
She also wants me to get her a Ruger 10/22 with a Hot pink nylon stock, and always insists on wearing her 5" heels whenever we go to the range.. lol

Good luck to you guys!

If you didn't buy the ring, how much ammo or what new toys could you have bought?

Anyway congrats!!!!!

Congrats Dave!

I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm thinking bachelor party 1919 style

 

[L999here]

....dum,dum,da dum..(wedding march...)

Congrats,Dave....I did it 39 yrs ago....never regretted it. Knew she was right one after police wife's went to range and she out-shot everyone. Glad you got that M1918 chest before you bought the ring......LOL

 

[arctic2]

Wish you all the best. May you enjoy a long and happy life together.

 

[brassmagnet]

RUN... RUN quickly save yourself while you still can Congratulations Dave, My wife and I are going 10 years, 2 children, a dog and three houses. She only tried to kill me once. I had just bought a preban m1a unfired for a steal, a week later I'm laying in the ER thinking I'm about to die (heart problem) I said, "honey I have to confess some thing to you, in case it happens I'll have come clean about what I did. " There was this rifle...."
she told me right there that the first shot out of it would be right thru my heart. I took it that she loved me and possibly the shooting sports. But time will tell. Chris

 

[DELMILTRUCKS]

LOL.... at CURRENT market prices, well... that depends on how you are spending! Either way, I'm a HAPPY man!!!

 

[Redleg]

Outstanding!. May you have a long and happy life together!

Congrats, pushing 20 years here, 2 dogs four kids, four houses, We dont add up the guns.
The only thing she asks is equal treatment, 50 cal means new piano, another 1919 something for the kids, and an occasional new van for the family taxi. Never bats an eye even as the 50 cal ammo piles up for a rainy day.
Wish you the best and hope you find what I found in my lifes partner, a true friend who stick with you no matter what.

 

[dhuchz]

Congrats Dave, Wish you and the Mrs. a long and happy life together.

I have been married for 24 years this Oct to the same woman, and will tell you that the first 25 years are the roughest! I can't help but think how much of my non-disposable income she has disposed of! I love her dearly, but would never marry any woman again.

Say goodbye to guns, and hello to interior decorating and trips to her mother's house.

Best of luck, but keep all of your guns locked up (the ones she doesn't make you sell to buy a new livingroom set). That way, you have time to cool down before you stick a pistol in your mouth!

Wow you sound jaded! I'm on 10 years today, (Well of our first date anyway...We were married 3 months later, so I'ts really close to 10 years.)

3 kids, countless firearms, and TONS of good times. I would never marry again, but that's because I could not duplicate her.

She requires almost equal treatment. My .50BMG required a week long cruise to Alaska. (Not a bad deal cuz it was less than half the price, and I got to go.)

This week I got approval for a 1995 Hummer H1.

Treat them right, and tell them outdoor sports are more fun than interior decorating.

Dave S,

Congratulations. If you did it right, that is the best money you will ever spend. We do require PICS of your newest shooting buddy! (Not the ring)

Have fun, watch for the changes, and try to keep up!
