So, after one of the nicest Christmas Eve afternoons ever at my sister-in-laws-
Enchiladas, posole, tamales etc., we get home, light a fire and begin our Christmas Eve tradition of 37 years together- a drink, a quiet time together when we exchange our gifts. She lovingly hands me a beautifully wrapped package, which I open- only to find: A FRIGGEN TRIGGER LOCK!  Barely able to contain myself, I try to smile and say "Babe, I know you meant well, but I CAN"T. I WON'T. EVER. use this! (Would it upset her if I asked where she got it, so I could take it back?)
So, I get another drink, calm down a bit (God, I feel so, Violated!) The sweater I open next is really nice, and then there's one package left. I calmly open it, clueless as to what might be inside, and at this point, not really interested, and nestled inside is: A 90% WAFFENAMPT PROOFED 1942 P-38!  She knew I was dissapointed that at the last gun show I was dissapointed the I couldn't find a single P-1, so did some internet research, called around, and found the P-38- Even talked the dealer down for a cash deal- The poor guy had to get a magnet to prove to her the frame was steel!("the P-38s have the steel frame, you know, rather than the aluminum like the P-1")
And we'd agreed to "take it easy " this year! So MERRY CHRISTMAS everyone! 
Edit: She didn't buy the trigger lock- Dealer Had to include it by law. |

I use trigger locks. I have small kids around. They work on a combo lock and are pretty fast to remove. Congrats on the gun.

The wost thing about trigger locks is the anti-gunners and Oprah crowd present them as some way to prevent a loaded gun from being fired, when in fact they are dangerous to even put on a loaded gun. This just always irks me. |

I hate the Emergency Brake on any vehicle as well.
It pisses me off just to think about an Emergency Brake. If only Adam and Eve had not eaten the FORBIDDEN FRUIT we would not be subjected to trigger locks and emergency brakes. FUCK ANTIBIOTICS, TOO. Congrats on your gun, my wife wouldn't even buy me a machete for Christmas.

Except the one you have with you at all times. If it's WITH you all the time, NOBODY can EVER screw with it. This is my solution, and it works for me. If I really need more firepower than my HiPower and 2-4 extra mags can provide, then it will only take me a few seconds to get into my safe, which is near the bed. |

You're supposed to put them on the gun? I always locked my daughters hands behind her back with mine. Your way makes more sense though.

The words BOOTLEG TURN come to mind...
Oh, and a week-long course of IV antibiotics is why not only am I alive, but I have full function in the nether regions...  Next thing you know, you'll be complaining about that new rope Obama is going to hang you with!

I think the trigger lock as a hint; she planned to give you the P-38 last justy to get a rise out of you. SHe's a keeper.

She got you good.
I did something similar to my wife one year. I had bought her a top of the like washer and gas dryer. I needed to run a gas line for the dryer. I wrapped up all the tools and gas line and put those under the tree. I stuffed her stocking with pipe fittings, solder, fluz, etc. She was pissed when she opened the new torch. I walked her to the back door and opened the curtain to reveal the bix boxes.... the look on her face from  to   was a sight to behold.

I always wanted to go to one of those police trigger lock giveaways, and get as many as they'd let me have.
Then drive to the nearest dumpster and toss them in.
I have a mean streak, I know. |

I like how most manufacturers give away cable locks instead of trigger locks with their new firearms.
Because cable locks can be used for securing all sorts of stuff, instead of being useless like trigger locks. |
