ask my wife to an gun show. was that an good idea?

[corey012778]

last night while talking to jess, I asked here if she wanted to go to the gun show this weekend, she said yes.

now having second thoughts, and the what if's hit.

what if i find something I like and she goes no.

what if she finds something she likes and it is more then either of us can pay?

what if I find the gun I am looking for at an good price and she says it ugly?

what if they have an jewelery vendor (last gun show had one) and she spends all the money we brought there. and leave out with out any getting an chance?

what if she haggles?

Well...From what I remember she controls the money, so why not???

I think it is a good idea. You can never spend too much time with family. If you see something that you want, I am sure you will get it if she is there or not. Have fun at the show.

Heck, you can't worry about "what ifs" Corey. What if she catches you staring at the cleavage of that knockout blond at the next table.

I was going to take my wife to the zoo for her birthday but I figured if they wanted her bad enough they could come and get her themselves.

Tough one there... My wife wouldn't go to the last one with me and I scored some deals that if she was there shed of been like HE** NO! On lol but if shhes usually understanding then no harm no fowl

Depends on your wife. With mine, it's almost always better to ask for forgiveness than for permission.

edit - smiley added, just in case she ever reads this.

heck ya take her. They have a lot more than guns at those places.

From what I have gathered about her over the past posts you have made reference Jess, she always seemed like a reasonable and understanding person. I mean face it, she puts up with you don't she? Just kidding.

The only problem I had (when I was married) taking my wife to a place like a gun show or some place I was interested in... She lost interest too fast and then started that whining about being bored, or her feet hurt and she wanted to go somewhere else. And of course I ignored those comments. And normally at the end of my day, she was upset.

So if Jess starts to become uncomfortable at the show, have a heart and maybe give in this time. She'll never ask to go again after that. Then again, she might really find it interesting. I personally think its great that she is trying to take an interest in something you're so passionate about.
