Too bad our purposes are not more aligned, that's exactly what I'm looking for! I'd cash you out of that, but I know how quickly that cash can turn into decorations as my own wedding is in September! GLWT and maybe I'll see you at RGS-South sometime!
 
Is pink pony south nude again now? I could have swore they closed down because of the not getting naked thing please let me know, I need to go check out the "range".
 
Your not married yet!! If the price of a pistol puts you in jeopardy of not paying for something then hold off on purchase.

"Caliber up to .44, but I'd really rather top out at .357, because I may not be enough man for a .440."

Sounds like if your fiance is telling you what to do now and if you obey her it won't get any easier. So, you better start off with a .22 :D

Seriously, There's two things I've learned in over 20 years of marriage:

1. It's easier to ask for forgiveness than permission.

2. Establish your own or individual cash spending money as long as it doesn't interfere with supporting the family. This option is more than successful than #1.

Good luck in marriage. We all need it.
 
I must say, after nearly 33 years of marital bliss (cough, cough) my wife has never forbid me from buying a gun. I've traded a few I regret out of guilt for buying another but even then, she told me I didn't have too. I hope you boys have as many good years with your prospective mates and are as fortunate as I've been!

^^This! Learned this after about 4 years of being married but I guess it's better late than never. Since that time I have been able to buy 2 motorcycles and 9 guns.
 
I appreciate all the advice from the guys who don't let their woman tell them what to do under any circumstances, but here's the thing: we're already having a low-cost wedding, and are not really getting help from either of our parents. This means that we have to fund everything ourselves, and we're going to be missing flowers or a DJ or something like that if I go out and buy another gun, or it's just going to be tighter than I'd like to cut it. Plus, because my fiance, who is the absolute love of my life, is putting so much time an effort into planning the wedding, I figured the least I can do is to not work, financially, counter to her efforts. This means that I've acquiesced in the ban, not been flogged into submission. I honestly don't think this reflects negatively on our relationship, which we've always treated as a pure partnership. She, on the other hand, has a moratorium on buying jeans and getting her hair done (basically the girl versions of buying guns, IMO), so the gun ban is not totally unilateral.

All that being said, I would greatly appreciate a few trade offers mingled in with the relationship advice. When this ad expires I'll just post it plain vanilla FS/FT so I won't get so excited by seeing six replies only to be let down by the fact that they're all (but one, thanks scottyparade) commentary on my relationship.
 
Hope after you are married you can still buy and shoot guns. :) I've been married just for 2 years- moslty trade as she does not let me spend $
