How can I justify spending $80 on two new magazines for my pistol? I mean I just ordered them so it's not like she won't see it on the credit card slip. Help me out here.

Show her the crime stats for your city/county...this is usually a shoking reminder to how gun protection is a must in this country.
This will prove that you NEED at least a few spare clips to defend your home!
My girl hates guns, and i have about 50, so we just don't talk about it, because neither one of us will bend.
But i'm not married, yet, so things could change.
BTW - I carry my .45 every day, and will for the rest of my life. i've seen too much and will not be a victim to these thugs.

I've done that. It's kind of embarassing why I bought them - she will however understand that reason.

Well we all have our reasons!
I grew up with guns and started shooting at a very young age, so it has just been a normal part of my life.

Can you tell us your reason? If she will understand your reason maybe just tell her that.

I'm really OCD when it comes to the number 5 & the multiples of 5. The two that came with it are 14 round mags (which has bothered me a ton since I bought the gun) & the new ones are 10 round mags.

I also have OCD :P
If she really understands you like that you are blessed to have her and you probably won't need to further justify this purchase :)

Why did you need to purchase 2? Is it not possible to purchase only 1?

That gets into another obsession...can't purchse just one. If I bought five like I'd like to I would be out of the house.

Well, it wasn't the most financially responsible thing to do, but honesty is probably the best thing in this case. Tell her the truth BEFORE the bill comes. Maybe you can put the others on your X-mas list.

WTF? Your woman worries about you spending $80? What happens when you want to spend some real money like a couple hundy?

I live in a nice part of Houston.
It has saved me once, so i carry it every day just because.

I did once buy a car without telling her.

If it's your money and she won't divorce you over it, just do it. My dad always spends money on electronics and never gets shit. Do you give her shit when she buys things she likes?

I'm not sure why you would have to "justify" it at all. Unless it was the last $80 you had and you had no food for your child, or wouldn't have any more cash for some time, or even a major constant spender. If you worked hard for it, why not buy something you need/want? I certainly don't have to justify anything I buy to Michael, and he doesn't have to justify his spending to me...as long as the bills get paid and we don't exhaust all our $$$.
-
Just tell her that it's for home defense and your aim just "ok" so you need the extra 30-32 rounds to make sure you smoke that guy who comes through the door. ;D
-
what type of .45 you carry overload? I too have a .45 but its to big and bulky to carry everyday only on trips and such but i would like a small concealable .45
-
Don't tell her shit, she probably doesn't read the statement, just rips off the little payment slip and shoves a check in the envelope.

I am the same (grew up with and started shooting at a very young age (handguns & Rifles/shotguns)) My Fiancee is from the UK where handguns are illegal to own unless you have some special priv like body guard or Private Dick. Anyway y S.O. hates my gun collection I have been trying since I met her to come out to the range with me but I guess that will never happen. I have the same problem if I spend money on anything Guns and Ammo (not the mag.
Anyway, to the author of this post buy it she will need to accept what you have a passion for. Of course as long as you are not taking away from your other responsibilities.
I have Guns and Bikes I love and I had those before I commited and she knew about them already so no need for her to complain especially when I am paying for everything else too!

I carry it for certian reasons, like if i know i'll be in a bad part of town late at night, or when i'm hog hunting as a backup. it's way too much gun, but i like big guns and like having the stopping power from one shot. i don't want to blast off 5 rounds with a 9mm, i'd rather pop one to the chest and be done with it.
the glocks are .40 and that is what i usually carry, but every now and then i carry to .45 so i can feel like Dirty Harry!...lol..the .45 fits nice under a suit, so most people have no idea i carry every day.
It saved me and my girl from getting robbed about a year ago at the Galleria. we had just left at closing time and we were parked in the back corner of one of the underground parking lots. as we were walking through the garage, 3 guys dressed in black came around the corner very quickly and one had a lead pipe in his hand. i pulled the peacemaker and cocked one on the chamber...i've never seen anyone run so fast. ;D
Had i not had my weapon, it "could" have been a disaster, as i was still recovering from knee surgery and had no way to defend myself or defend my girl. this thought went through my head for weeks, so i have carried every day since then.

My father hates handguns, but he understands why i carry one. i was shooting rifles and shotguns at an early age, around 12 i think...
My girl hates them, but we have come to an agreement on them since we almost got robbed. most of the guns i have are rifles, but i have a decent hand gun collection as well. i'll try to snap a few pics of my gun closet of i get a chance, i have a small arsenal and i am very accurate with all weapons.
Growing up on a farm, we had guns all over the property, for snakes or other varmints.

Right hand severe carpel tunnel & the left hand a whole shitload of nerve issues. On the road to full recovery though. Been training pretty steadily since the Last week of August. Almost hitting "normal/respectable" numbers again. I'd estimate I'll be 100% by the Jan 1.

Guns are not the problem. Stupid mutherfuckers with guns are. Responsible people with guns should have the right to double tap someone's forehead if their life is threatened.

Guns are the problem, hence all the crap that happens when people get ahold of this dangerous weapon more problems happen. What next we give citizens hand grenades! I can only imagine how crazy that would get :-X We really need to disarm america, no knives, guns, etc be a lot better place. Never sell bullets to ANYONE except military. Eventually the guns and bullets would dry up for criminals as well and it would be a lot better place to walk around at night for women.

Jt thats f*ing retarded man.
Do you want to ban cars too in order to stop drunk driving? When you come along with this argument you have here, it is exactly the same argument as what I just said.
Ban knives? Really? Are you going to cut up your steak with a mean stare instead?

People are the problem. You take away our guns and knives, but fail to remember that the thugs will ALWAYS have access to them, and taking away guns will give thugs even more of an advantage. i value my life and my family's lives.
You should research things before speaking, you might look a little more intelligent that way. in Texas, CHL holders are considered some of the most responsible people around. you NEVER hear about a CHL holder busting off rounds at innocent people, ever. you hear about NON-CHL holders using guns the wrong way.
it is the street thug trash that gets a weapon and hurts innocent people. i want a level playing field so i carry a gun, if it bothers you i suggest you take a look around at the world at which we live, and keep ignorant comments to yourself, but i know that is all you are good at.
Feel free to educate yourself on the matter at any time, and feel free to discuss your educated opinion with me at any time.
If it were not for gun owners in Texas, crime would be much WORSE, but I'm sure you knew that already. i can spoon feed you statistics if you would like.

Yeah right dude, if we take away gun ammo and make it very expensive for even hunter's thugs ain't gonna get much at all. They sure won't be shootin like idiots they are now. Eventually guns will dry up and only rich theives will get them and getting caught with one should be 10 years in jail for threatening societies conventions.
We in America really need to work on this problem, hopefully Obama will work hard on this when he gets in office. Yes knvies too, knives that are used to stab people, outlaw them, no knife shops cause they can be used in crimes. Yes you can use a steak knife. They could potential be used in crime, but I am sure they could make them so they would be hard to be used in slashing somebody. More regulation on razor's, need ID to buy them and not a criminal to get your razors so thugs can't use razors to slash people. You can see how society would be great after a few months of employing this.
I can't stand this outlaw society we have now, with everybody carrying guns, very dangerous stuff.

We can't outlaw everything that could ever be used as a weapon jt. I mean just look at prisoners in prisons. They don't have guns or knives and yet they are resourceful enough to make something out of simple objects (shanks) to kill a man.
It's people who kill people. We think we are a civilized creature...but in reality we really are not. We are all born with a conscious (ok some are sick people who are not, but I'm going with the majority) We are gifted with the knowledge of what's right and what's wrong...but there are those who choose to live the wrong way because they are always looking for the "easy" way.

I agree Laura, but we can always make it more difficult for the criminals. They arn't too smart most of them, if there neighbor hood thug man doesn't have a gun for them, they don't know where else to look they are too stupid. Like I said razors need to have positive drivers licesnse and no criminal record to purchase, this would stop thugs from making weapons. They still could make primitive weapons, but they wouldn't be able to rob someone at pencil point or toothbrush point. The things is thugs are stupid, they would just give up and probably starve on the street cornor and die of hypothermia.
We are smarter then them Laura so we will always have a house to live in, if you take away there way to get money from us, they use guns and stuff, then they will have no way to scare us to rob us anymore.

Hey, it's easier for a criminal to get weapons than a legit citizen, trust me. You'll never get people to give up their guns, that you can count on.
-
Cap is right jt. It is a lot easier for a criminal/gang/murderer to aquire a weapon over the average citizen.
And also...remember it was "box cutters" that helped bring down the airplanes on 9/11. :-\
To be truthful, I think the more we "evolve", the less we are "involved" with teaching right from wrong to our children. I see more kids growing up in the streets and learning from the streets instead of from their parent...because their parents are either "too busy" or "cracked out somewhere". Most of those kids don't stand a chance growing up, let alone growing up with a good head on their shoulders. :'(

typical hetro response, your such a simpleton :) First we outlaw certain firearms, then gradually slowly take away your rights and eventually your left with not much to fight back when we decide to come get your guns, you may get a few of us, but your guns will be OURS!

Dude, we have police raids all the time and weapons still stay in the hands of criminals. Your "big brother" approach to life would require cameras in every square inch of the country. I could easily hide guns anywhere in the house and the amount of $ and resources available would still leave plenty of guns on the streets. We've already outlawed plenty of types of guns, but decent people need to have protection.

A couple comments explaining the 3 sea shells:
Thunderbox (835) -- 12.07.2006
There`s a genetically modified clam in each shell. The sh*tter places the clam shell by his soiled ring and the clam, which lives on feces, sucks the ring clean. A true symbiotic relationship - sh*tter gets a shiny clean ring, clam gets a 5 star meal.
PooperGal (527) -- 12.07.2006
Good to see that perplexing case brought up again. But I'm not buying Stallone's version.
My first guess, as a media and communications professional, was that the screenwriters gave absolutely no thought to the purported function of the clamshells -- they were just a vehicle for a witty "bumpkin from the past bungles his way in the future" gag.
But from a practical side, I'd say that they are buttons the toilet user pushes to operate mechanics within the toilet, probably under the back rim. One sprays water on the a-hole region to remove crap; one is specifically the "ladies'" cleanser to clean the female pee area and the third is to flush the crapper.
Funny site btw w/some funny screen names. If you don't register they'll let you post as "Anonymous Coward" lol

Just tell her you're crazy and the OCD took over.
She's probably used to your making financial and other decisions out of compulsion so it really should be no big deal.
