last winter I found how to get the wife to go with me to the gun show.
I just told her about a simular gun made out of 8 ruger 10/22 actions. it will fire it's 240 rd capacity in 5 seconds. I had about 2k in my pocket and mentioned that the gun was only about $800.
it was fairly amazing how fast she got her purse, put her shoes on and was eager to go with me.
some people go to look, some to buy, and some (like my wife) go to block the buyers
