    Birthday question

    Ok I was once told if your new age on your birthday corresponds with a caliber or gauge of a gun you can purchase that gun with no repercussions from wife. So in January I well be 44. does that mean that I get a 44 mag for my birthday under that law.
    Yes my grandma wears combat boots. But remember her carry weapon is a Ruger .454

    LOL - see also definition of SWMBO!

    I think that September 15th is also a good day to buy guns...

    ...it only comes once a year!

    SHTF scenario?

    As SWMBO says: we all make choices.

    It's the choices you make that she can't live that you have to worry about!

    Just my. 02

    If any of you listen to bob and tom on the radio there is the donnie baker law. "Honey I had to buy that .44 on my 44th birthday It's state law" LOL

    Only if you have swell brothers. One of my buds received a .40 Glock for his 40th from his two brothers. I only have sisters.

I learned alot from him. we can talk till the wee hours of the morning about hunting fishing and guns. So sister can play a part pending on brother inlaw. I do know a lot of women that shoot my niece is a security guard and shots regularly.

    I'll be 44 in April, SWMBO says that law is superseded in this state by the "till death do us part" bit on our marriage license...

    Well, for a .61 caliber, I will have to go black powder or maybe a 20 ga.

    That "till death do us part" clause is a bit of a thorn, isn't it?
    There are also quite a few hidden and unspoken clauses in there as well...

    Am sure I have it around here and I think it came from someone's wife, perhaps yours. Little note that said " No problem at all, you just go out and buy any new gun you wanted"
    Not sure if it was signed or not !!!!!!!!!
    Actually, I am telling a big one. Think I actually saw it behind the hand gun counter at Cabella's in Sidney.
    Oh well, one can always wish I guess !!!!!!!

    I'm getting too darn close to a 12 gauge, which is 72 caliber.
