Am I too nice... I guess it's just love

I've been looking at getting a Franchi shotgun for the last 3 months, yesterday I went into the shop to look again. My wife accompanied me and while I was handling the franchi's I noticed her asking to see the Benelli Legacy shotguns, after a while she came over and showed me what she wanted for our 6 year aniversary next week. A Benelli Legacy 12 gauge with the pheasants engraved in it. I don't know you if you guys have ever seen one of these but they are GORGEOUS.

Well, the franchi is on the backburner for a while, how can I say no to a girl that loves to shoot as much as I do.

No, you aren't too nice. You have your priorities very much in order. Guns come and guns go. Any fool with the cash can buy a gun. Someone that shares life and living with you is something even the wealtiest person can seldom achieve. Since "Grandma Winchester" and I shared lots of bad times, it's only right that we get to share some good times too.

*My 20th anniversary with my bestest shooting buddy was back in April.Hope you have at least as many as us.

Sniff....
Ya guys got me snuffling, Wife and I have 25 years together, any woman worth keeping is worth pampering!

I'd give her the world on a silver platter if She wanted it so.

Congrats on your new Benelli.....

Show her a Montefeltro 20ga. Carries like a .410 and with the right ammo shoots like a twelve. -- Kernel
