mel b3 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 i find it astonishing that you need permission from your wife to have a gun and shoot , maybe im old fashioned , but , it wouldnt even occur to me to need to ask permission to do anything at all that was decent , honest , legal , affordable , and safe , i would obviously tell her that i was doing it as that is just sensible and polite but i would never even think that i had to ask permission . then again , neither would i ever consider sneaking behind her back to do something , that would just make me a liar and a cheat and the type of person that could not be trusted with a gun !. is it just me or does anyone else find this thread quite alarming ? , wanting to have an interview with the police that your wife doesnt know about and then sneaking a gun and ammunition into the house that she also doesnt know about . to the op , you may be a perfectly reasonable and decent guy and i apologize unreservedly if you are , but , to me you scream nutcase .

willj Posted February 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Thanks Mel I'm not going to sneak behind her back and I'm certainly not a nut case. I used to have 5 shot guns, just looking for any assistance to help me get back in to shooting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stubby Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 Total agree with you, the stupid thing was last year for Xmas my present from her was a days clay pigeon shoot and flying birds of prey, she even brought me a tweed shooting coat. I brought us a disco 3 and she loves all that and even wears the Barbour jackets. where abouts in the uk are you out of interest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She might kick up a fuss initially,but whats the worst that can happen? She will simply have to get over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carman06 Posted February 1, 2015 Report Share Posted February 1, 2015 You could take a different view of this situation and go along the lines of if she is not permitted to know where the keys are due to not being authorised then maybe she also should not know what you have and where for a higher level of security. "Need to know basis" type of thing. Just a different way of looking glass half full kinda thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powler Posted February 2, 2015 Report Share Posted February 2, 2015 Why not give her a days clay shooting as a present maybe she will get the bug. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
