Welcome to GTA grizzly!
Your situation is the best reasoning I know of for having separate checking accounts and man caves.
(and yes, I have a woman cave- in fact, I'm doing some construction on it right now between posts, lol.)

Hey grizzly, welcome to the GTA. Yep, lots of marital explanations due to the addictive nature of airgunning. When you buy the second safe, make sure it is as big as you can afford since you will not fill a big one up so fast!! Wives notice when they are full but not so much when there is still room and it does give you a little more time to think up the next excuse for buying the third safe. LOL
Make youself at home and feel free to join right in.

Always a pleasure to welcome another fellow New Yorker to GTA
I hate to tell you but it probably won't be to long until you have to buy a second gun safe for the airguns collection
I'll be looking forward to your future posts and if you hunt with those shooters be sure to post the stories and pics in the Hunting Gate so we can all enjoy them .

I'm just north-east of Buffalo, so you are about 3 counties away. I've been wondering about getting up a WNY shooting group for airgunners, as there is really nothing here near Buffalo. The land that airguns forgot.

Welcome to the GTA Grizz. You will find plenty of members who live to hunt in the hunting gate. Remember though, the way it goes in there is if no pics,...it didn't happen!LOL Again, welcome.
