Christmas gift for the wife
« on: December 11, 2010, 09:16:48 PM »
My wife got her carry permit this year, but she complains that our S&W 642 is "too heavy."
Maybe this will be a little better. I picked it up today, and I look forward to placing it under the tree for her...

 ??? What, a CCW permit and no subscription to Delaware Concealed Carry Forum? I think this is an AWESOME gift [read "majorly JEALOUS!"], but I'm not sure how much of a surprise it'll be for her!... Hey... wait a minute... maybe if I get my wife that nice gun, then she'll WANT to get her PERMIT! (THIS WILL BE THE FIST GUN PURCHASE I DON'T HAVE TO EXPLAIN!!) Thanks Old Gray- I'm heading to the store first thing tomorrow!  ;) Pete D.---

It's all set.

I ordered an ironing board from Amazon.com as a gag, and gift-wrapped the box. It's leaned up against the wall, six feet tall, and she's been going nuts trying to figure out what it is.

Then, I bought a gag gift box that looks like a family-sized Snuggie. I wrapped the Smith in a blue blanket, put it in the box, and gift-wrapped it.

Finally, I took the little keys that came with the revolver -- which we will never use -- and put them in a jewelry box.

I figure she's going to open the ironing board, and (hopefully) realize it's a gag.
Then, I'll give her the jewelry box. When she opens it and says ""are you serious?"?!?!?" I'll tell her that they are titanium nipple rings.

Finally, she'll open the gag box. I'll make sure there's no actual ammunition in the room.

Hummm...  Ironing board and a gun.  I think we'll know who the headlines on the 26th are about.

Good luck.

I am sure this will be taken the wrong way but am I the only one who sees this as an admission to making a straw purchase?
